[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m shocked that in 7 pages, only one person brought up birth control pills, which have MUCH higher doses of hormones. So many women pop them like candy for decade of their lives without thinking twice. Any HRT warnings should be threefold for BC pills. [/quote] Well that is because pregnancy poses a much bigger cardiac and stroke times that hormonal BC. But sure, if not taken to prevent pregnancy, then women should be informed of that different risk-benefit calculation. I took hormonal birth control for many years when my primary goal was to prevent pregnancy with full knowledge of the risks and benefits. But I will not be taking HRT unless my menopause symptoms (so far mild) get much worse. [/quote]
