Hi everyone: I have osteoporosis and have been on HRT patches for 5 years. I've done so well on them, and my DEXA scans have been much better. I also have no menopause symptoms and feel great.
I've just turned 60 and my GP wants to review my HRT patches. My reading online has lots of positive results from remaining on HRT and as I am doing so well I'd like to keep going. I understand the increased risks, which are minimal (in my opinion) compared to declining due to my Osteoporosis. If I am comfortable with the risks as published and think if I'm doing so well, why would I want to ruin that.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this, or can you point me to any resource which you think is valuable arguing for or against. I really like my GP, but to be honest, she's not an expert in menopause, HRT or Osteoporosis. Many thanks! :-)
