Can't tell you about the OTC stuff, but the topical hormone cream my doctor has me on is doing the trick.

I just came from an intense three-day seminar on bio-identical hormone replacement. Fascinating info, very cutting edge, but also very well supported by the science. That was great, because my experience before with "alternative" medical conferences was that people "believed" a lot of things but couldn't show the science to back it up.
