It all seems really odd as years ago when HRT Was first invented so to speak women were on it for 20 years or so. Even those who went on it at Meno rather than those like yourself you went on due to having a hyster, so presumably it wasn't unusual to be in it from 50 to 70.
It's almost like there are fashions and trends in these medicines where the medical profession is concerned, I guess thinking changes over the years.
I'd love to ve to see some stats on what difference it has made to life expectancy or certain illnesses, these shifts in thinking, but there won't be any as I guess in the sixties and seventies Etc they weren't studying the effects of HRT, they thought but was the new miracle drug.
Also for yourself you don't have the added complication of needing progesterone like so many long termers need which I though was the breast cancer risk, or have I got that the wrong way round?
Plius you gave a very low dose of oestrogen.
Anyway glad they have sorted you in the short term.
So many factors come into things as well, people's own underlying physiology, other meds they take, lifestyle etc I guess that's why it is so complex
