Hi Lisa, I have been taking HRT for 5 months I'm so glad I did I had heard so many bad things about it and refused to even consider it for well over a year and I realised that life was becoming miserable night sweats, hair loss, feeling tired and and a change in my overall personality very bad mood swings.. I did lots of research and on the topic and decided enough was enough, I couldn't take herbal supplements as most have soy in and I also have an underactive thyriod.. the difference is amazing I like my husband again 😊 No sweats no hot flushes my hair is growing back and I feel like me again.. it's a personal decision but I'm glad I did it.. good luck don't suffer

Thank you Kazzaxs, I'm glad you found relief! How long do you think you will stay on it? Are you still getting a period? Mine are 4 months apart still.

Hi I struggled without HRT trying every natural method I could but couldn't cope anymore within 3 weeks of being on HRT I felt back to normal I'm so relieved that I made that choice, its taken almost a year to get the dose and delivery method right and now I feel great.I dread the thought of ever having to come off it as I would never want to feel that awful again.
Definately the right decision for me
good luck

Iv been on HRT for 15 years due to having a total hysterectomy at 42 I had no choice really.
Been on the same one all that time too.
Iv been fine on it, the last 8 years I take one every other day,
i think my skin and hairs benefited for being on it too.
good luck on whatever you choose to do x
