Hello everyone. I was just after some advice/opinions/personal experiences of HRT. I find myself post menopausal at the grand old age of 26 due to a pesky little spot of leukaemia 18 months ago. After a meeting with my Dr yesterday I am currently deciding whether or not to proceed with HRT and if I do, which "route of delivery" to go with. (Can't help but think that if men also experienced post menopausal symptoms we wouldn't be left 18 months without the option of HRT, but maybe I am being cynical). I am definitely leaning more towards going ahead with it as I don't have children and my husband and I haven't decided whether to go egg donor or adoption route; my Dr said that HRT will keep my uterus "healthy" in the short term and will be beneficial if I did decide to carry (if that is indeed a possibility, haven't really looked into it yet). So as I have a uterus I would need oestrogen and progesterone, I believe the former usually comes in pill and patch form, and the latter I can choose between continual patch, a tablet four times a year or a mirena coil. There are just so many decisions I don't really know where to start! Any help is much appreciated...
