You can get bio-identical hormones (for now) in topical cream form. The estriol in capsule form needs to be prescribed for you and supplied by a compounding pharmacy.

Googling "micronized estriol" will yield a number of suppliers of cream.

Certainly talking to your OB/Gyn about prescribing hormones is also a possibility.
