I don't have a huge number of symptoms tbh except shorter period cycles, some (blerg) vaginal dryness, worse rosacea and I run hotter and miss cold pyjama nights (I'm 44).

Anyway, tried some topical oestrogen cream yesterday and feel really good today and kind of chilly in a nice jumpers appreciating way and I know they say it's not really systemic but I wonder if even a tiny bit is seeping in and giving me a boost because I'm short

I don't feel tired or brain foggy or anything like that so I don't want to upset the apple cart and tbh my pmt has all but disappeared which is amazing but would you ask to get on it now?

The benefits of HRT need to outweigh the risks. I’d say in your case the probably don’t.

I think the risks are pretty minimal
