Hi I've decided to take HRT after having a surgical menopause at 48. I've looked up the pros and cons of taking it and I'm having the patches. I've still got my womb so it is the combination one at a low dose. There isn't any breast cancer history in my family,but there are mental health problems which have tended to get worse around the time of childbirth and menopause. I have decided to take the low dose as a patch as I have read that the risk of blood clots is lower in the patches. I also decided to take it because of having an episode of feeling terrified in the middle of the night and because of my hair coming out. A lot.

Thanks for replying Jackie. I had too severe physical symptoms, brain fog and forgetfulness. I do believe that's a correlation between menopause and psychological disorders and Alzheimer's disease. I just want to use HRT for my quality of life and don't want to suffer.
