[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hormones in birth control are designed to stop ovulation, so they come at a higher dose than in hormone replacement therapy. This increases your risk for breast, endometrium and ovarian cancers and it's usually not recommended. Hormone replacement therapy is specifically designed for perimenopause symptoms, and is considered safe for some, but not all women. Your doctor has to go over your family history of cancer and blood clots to determine if you can safely take it.

This is completely false info. BC pills are a higher dose but your risk of breast cancer is less than that of someone who has a glass a wine a night. HRT was designed for women IN menopause because it adds estrogen on top of what you already have. BC pills during peri are meant to stop the hormone swings by giving you the same dose of hormone every day. I have been taking it for two years  now (I'm 45) and it has really helped. It's helped my heavy periods, bad PMS, terrible anxiety, etc. [/quote]
