If you ever consider HRT, you may be interested in taking Estriol (not
Estradiol) and progesterone.  Estriol is available in the U.S., but must
be compounded by a pharmacist.  It is the one form of estrogen that is
supposedly "safe" for women in that it does not cause cells to divide
rapidly - leading to cancer.  I've been on Estriol for almost a year
with excellent results. Kath


I have no plans to use HRT, except for progesterone replacement, which I
have already started to block xenoestrogens.  Still in perimenopause and
not particularly symptomatic.

I think the whole production of Premarin is offensive, although I am not
a "horse lover" per se, just a lover of the natural order and dignity of
living creatures.
