I am taking estradiol (1.0 mg.)/norethindrone acetate (0.5mg) in tablet form. My physician gave me several options and I felt most comfortable with this one. I see on this website a strong bias toward bioidentical hormones. I prefer taking medications that have FDA oversight without that you are experimenting on yourself. Perhaps there are bioidentical hormones that do go through FDA testing; I do not know and I have not discussed that with my physician yet. As for bioidentical hormones that have not gone through FDA testing, I would not be comfortable with these. I am a Registered Dietitian and have seen upclose so many problems with nutrition supplements because they do not go through FDA testing. Good luck to you as you find what is right for you.
