DH and I (Well mostly him) have been reading a lot about female HRT. This is what we came up with. The study showing danger to women who take HRT was flawed.
The only HRT they used were with Synthetic hormones. Bio Identical or Human Identical Hormones might not be better but? We think they can't be worse and probably are better.
The study gave a lot of women strong doses of hormones who had been in Menopause for 10 or more years. DH likens this to pouring dragster fuel into a engine that has been rusting for 10 years and being surprised it blew up. The type of replacement was ALL Estrodiol none used the weaker form of Estrogen. In fact in the US the company that makes the Synthetic hormones is asking the Food and Drug agency to stop anyone from using the weaker form of estrogen. Even tho its the same hormone in the female body. So....
If your going to go on HRT do so early. At least don't wait 10+ years!
If you go on HRT see about using non synthetic hormones. And replace only those you lack and do ALL of them. Including Progesterone and female levels of Testosterone. It does wonders for you sex drive!
Good luck!
