[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it is SO FRUSTRATING.
I dont want to be an old twisted hag when i could have had magical youth potion. But my dr says evidence still strongly points to cancer risk. who is right? what to believe? halp.[/quote]

Sorry, I haven't read everything, but I wouldn't rely on any doctor's advice without researching.  As it happens, I have a doctor who is a proponent of HRT, and we do it the right way with regular blood work and check-ins.  My doctor also has me on specific supplements based on blood work.  I'm comfortable that science is on my side.      I'm at my ideal weight again, I can focus at work, and I sleep 8 hours through the night, which is a significant shift from where I was a year ago before I started HRT.  [/quote]

To be more specific, in case it is helpful to anyone else, progesterone (plus melatonin and ashwagandha at night) gave me my sleep back, testosterone helped me build lean and it restored my previously nonexistent sex drive, and a low dose of semaglutide plus T3 and T4 helped me lose the twenty lbs I gained due to kids and stress.  Had I not gone to this doctor, I'd still be suffering from symptoms of a low thyroid because no doctor had ever tested it for me.  I also take other supplements because my blood work revealed some deficiencies.  Sadly, this is not covered by insurance.  But I'm not exaggerating; it's life-changing in middle age.  [/quote]
