Pros- keep you sane, regulates your entire system

cons- breast cancer, bone degeneration, heart disease

i personally take the hrt, I currently use the estridol patch. I have to, though. I am miserable without it. I was tried on the cocktail of estrogen and testosterone first. It was great at first. I had never felt better. My husband loved the new sex drive. But, I started having to shave my chin daily, I lost all high pitched tones in my voice, and I grew a "happy trail" just like a man's with the same hair pattern on my chest. That sucks. Only you can decide if you want to take it or not. It is not recommended to take hrt longer than seven years. I had a vag hyst at 24 and had my ovaries removed at 27 last year. I cannot see myself taking hormones for the rest of my life. Especially since breast cancer and heart disease runs rampant in my family on both sides.

Bnot everyone needs hrt - what do you think women did before hrt??

To let those of you in on al little secrect I had a partial hystorectomy last year. One day my best fried and all of my friends were telling me that I was moody and I too felt not right. I had the night sweats, breast hurt and tireds you name it I was feeling 10 times worse than when I got my montyly periods so I went to longs and bought this product over the counter where you would find tampons and such and found the product called hrt it is a once a day disbursement of cream you rub on your body and it is a bio-tech product and what a difference as far at my sex drive and moodyness I now do not have any night sweats and my sex dirve is really great again and people say I seem less moody. But I still can not get the stupid 30lbs off I am dieting and exercising. Any good sugestions please help
