Thank you for the explanations. Not using the term bioidentical makes complete sense to me. I'm still wrapping my head around the term synthetic.

That's exactly why I would've thought calling them synthetic progesterone/synthetic estradiol is correct, to distinguish them from a natural progesterone/natural estradiol. Chemically they are identical but how they're made is different.
