I'm 54 but had a complete hysterectomy in 2001. I take Premarin to help with the hot flashes. I tried going off of them and it was hell. So I'm taking them again, but the lowest dose possible.

You don't want to hear my answer..
I was done -Totally done- at 42 or 43... took me two years from beginning to end.. pretty smooth it was. I don't take any hormone therapy.

I heard years ago that the sooner you start (monthly) the longer you go, and the later you start (monthly), the sooner you stop.

Good luck! Hope it ends for you soon!!

Oh, Brenda, wish I could help. I'm 55, but I had a complete hysterectomy in 1995, so never went through menopause. So hope that this all stops for you very, very soon!!!
