What are your choices Over-the-counter, there are products containing phytoestrogens, and topical products containing low-dose progesterone.

What is Biologically Identically Equivalent Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Biologically Equivalent Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a prescription alternative to conventional hormone replacement therapy (conjugated estrogens, medroxyprogesterone, etc.). Bioidentical medications are plant-derived, and chemically changed in a laboratory until they are identical to what your body would naturally produce. BHRT is customized for each individual and their personal needs. It can be adjusted to fit your needs, unlike conventional HRT, which has a few standard dosage strengths.
