Early menopause/osteoporosis
Posted , 3 users are following.
hi everyone,
i went through an early menopause at 40. Other than thinking I'd lost my mind, I didn't have any other symptoms and didn't take HRT. I've had a bone density scan and my bones are good. I'm worried that not taking HRT will affect my bones in years to come. Is there anybody here who had an early menopause and didn't take HRT? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
many thanks

i also take many other things too .. Not just Natecal 😃
if your not sure about HRT then look at the naturals too..
decide whats best for you..
remember HRT boosts the hormones back up then when you stop HRT they decline again and menopause kicks in again as the hormones decline again ..
also .. If they give you Premarin , Prempak C or Premique ..
do your homework as this is Equine HRT ...
Pregnant Mares Urine .. best to know as they dont tell you..

please do let me know what your doctor says. Mine was quite happy for me to not take HRT. Make sure you have a bone density scan so you know exactly what state your bones are in. I waited until I had the results before I made my decision. X
