Thank you so much for your insight again!! Like I said, every woman is different. My mom-in-law, for instance, has been on HRT since her periods ceased when she was 35. Now she is almost 70 and doing well (for more than 3 decades now, she's been on HRT). For some, hormone treatments are a blessing and for some, well, it's not a blessing. But it is worth showing those thousands of women like me out there who do very well without any kind of hormone therapy. Like CharlotteSal, my doc told me that the pills were safe. I trusted her (CharlotteSal was lucky to refer to another practitioner unlike me). For me and many others, progesterone or estrogen- our bodies just don't accept synthetic hormones. Our bodies have been designed like that naturally!
About the info out there, I agree. There is lots to see and read- especially on the internet. We need to validate the information and verify our sources. But HRT is definitely known to increase breast cancer and cervical cancer risks- let's not ignore that. However, this may not be the case with every woman who uses the HRT (for instance, my mother-in-law). If you ask me- synthetic hormones do me no good and I share my experience with all those who are like me and are ignorant about the contraceptive pill usage effects. :-)
Every woman is different... unique in her own way... physically, psychologically and spiritually...
