[quote=Anonymous]Re: HRT - Both my mother and grandmother died of breast cancer post menopause. My 40 something cousin on that side now has it - she had premature ovarian failure. I also did 3 rounds of IVF in my late 30s to conceive my child. In addition, I have heart disease in the family as well. I get migraine with aura and have (treated) high blood pressure. As a result of these things, I was advised to stop taking birth control pills at 35. For these reasons, I am not pursuing HRT. My doctor says that it would be ok for a short time if my symptoms were really debiliating. I am 48 and in the stage of peri where my periods are like every few months. I do have hot flashes, but they are no debilitating. Avoiding alcohol and getting exercise have seemed to help me. HRT is not for everyone and there are valid reasons not to take it. [/quote]
