    I had the same question, what will happen when I will stop my hrt and for how long I can take it. It is a very personal decision I think. What your doc say?

    he just said carry on taking and have a blood test every year and if any problems come back in.?!. its of course my decision to take as he has told me the risks involved but he does understand that i have been on them a long time. but to come off would be awful i think to my quality of life so am resigned to the fact on staying on them.
