I tried black cohosh and it did nothing for me. YMMV on that. I'm going to talk to my doctor about HRT this month. I'm over all of this.
Are you in menopause, or peri?

Much as I hate beans if it works it’s worth it! I am not a fan of HRT, studies are all over the place with whether or not it is safe. I am a research librarian so I am not a novice researcher, I understand about meta analysis etc but I don’t feel comfortable taking the risk.

Does anyone take black cohosh AND HRT?
