Apart from hot flushes happy to say no real problems, I do take herbal tablets so may be that has helped the flushes ect.

I am so glad to be done with that! I do take hormone therapy 3 times/week.
It's a very low dose too.

Hang in there. It will stop, and then you can never worry about keeping all that equipment in your bag.

Can you share your hormone therapy? I take Premarin 0.3 MG everyday. Would love to not have to take it everyday.
