Mel; I think the diet will ba a great stabilizing influence in your
hormones. I would also do careful workups for progesterone levels, which
can be easily and naturally supplemented. Progesterone is normally produced
as part of the cycle when eggs are released, IIRC, and surely is a powerful
mood- and metabolism stabilizer, as it balances the effects of extra
estrogen.

BTW, I concur with your position re children. This is your decision, and it
is rare to be so proactive about making a good choice for yourself. Any
such decision will imply regrets, either way, but that is why it's "choice".

Cheers,
