Might be safer to post on the "Tell us how you cope without HRT" forum.
I have used an estrogen patch and I make no apologies for using Natural Progesterone Cream now and then, another subject that seems to cause an outcry, along with supplements.
I do defend the right for all women who post and those who only read them, to be be able to talk about whatever they use, and how they get through menopause and beyond.
MM is not just for women who use HRT but I know that quite a few women in the past have left MM because they feel that that it is and they don't feel they belong.
This an open forum as has been pointed out, but using discretion keeps it a happy one.
