My friend who had her ovaries removed around 40 went on it right away. |

| Unless your friend is a gynecologist, I’d ignore her. I wouldn’t have told her in the first place. |

No. You aren't wrong and if you aren't sure, get a second opinion. Not from your friend but from a specialist. |

| Most doctors no longer recommend HRT. I've asked 3 different doctors all said the same thing. |

+1 million Even the lead scientist said that the link wasn’t statistically significant. Name was Rousseau I believe. |

Three doctors does not equal “most.” |

| I’m GenX. I’m in HRT. Think it’s a no brainer. My mom’s convinced it would have given her cancer. I don’t argue with her but I am sad for her. |

I trust the doctors in my life, who say it is safe (meaning small risks) for most women, and that it can lower some risks.
However - I was in such misery that I’d reluctantly take increased cancer risk as a trade off. I couldn’t sleep - like, COULD not sleep for more than short stretches and never deeply - had terrible hot flashes and was flooded with rage at random intervals throughout the day. I wanted to die I was so exhausted. That went on for over a year. So yeah. I’ll take the HRT. THC helped a lot, actually - with the sleep, anyway, which helped with the rage. But I thought HRT was probably the better option. |

| Can someone explain to me - does HRT just delay in the inevitable? You can't stay on it forever, so what happens, when you go off it, say at age 70? Is it a steep drop-off in wellbeing at that point? |

Certain drugs increase the chance of cancer like birth control and HRT.
Everybody has to wear the risks. |
