>Ed I'm being treated by an ob-gyn who feels that bioidenticals after blood testing and levels. That the compounded hormones are fine.

Many standard HRT products contain bio-identical hormones. EstroGel is an example. Bio-identical or not, a problem with all of these products is that high estrogen levels are not natural beyond a certain age. This is why the risk of breast cancer is elevated. Other potential risks include ovarian cancer, DVT and stroke.

>I chose this option as being the least dangerous of the options.

I wouldn't say that HRT is safer than standard bisphosphonate therapy eg. alendronate 70mg once weekly. The risks are simply different. I understand that bio-identical HRT is very much in fashion at the moment, but this does not change the fact that bisphosphonates remain a first-line treatment for many.
