Thank you for the interesting information in this read. One of my girlfriends and I were just talking about this issue yesterday. Have you written anything about pre-diabetes in postmenopausal women? Is this common? Or is there any information out there about this?
Secondly, I was on BHRT in 2016. But I gained 25 lbs and that freaked me out. So I discontinue the regime. I'm 60 now and I am reconsidering it again because I feel miserable. This article has helped with my decision process. But I'm wondering if my weight gain situation years ago was just a weird outcome? Or I wasn't on a good program? Or I wasn't a good BHRT candidate? My diet was strict at the time, meaning it was considered in the program at the time. Any ideas? Thank you again.
for some women it can be a journey finding optimal BHRT and great docs. But it's worth it. i have a new article coming soon on diabetes. stay tuned. thanks for comments.
there is no best it is often a balancing act for about year. it's getting the portions right and sometimes a patch, which delivers the most consistent E2 levels has to be added. But can't really answer here, as way too many possibilities and all depend on the individual and it is a journey. but often not for males, that is why some docs only do hormones for males. Often easier. Life! dlb
I am just learning about FSH levels in males and can't comment enough on it. The info is sparse but will get back when I know more. I have reached out to many male experts myself and we are discussing this. For females it is below 20. dlb

Do you have any recent research regarding the safety of transdermal estrogen application and cancer? Any links would help.
read the estrogen article here and also my ebook on estrogen vindication at my web site drlindseyberkson.com
thanks
Is BHRT estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. I am having a really hard time finding the balancing act, and which is best, cream, patch, oil?
Thank you,

If FSH is the magic measure for women what is the magic measure for men when they do HRT?
same
Thanks Dr. B. Are the ideal FSH levels the same for men and women?
