Should I go on HRT

[NotBasically]

My last proper period was November 21 then a much lighter one in October 22. Apart from the lack of periods I don't have any other symptoms but wondering if HRT will prevent other health conditions in the long run. I have history of early menopause in the family and I'm 42. Blood tests and a scan have confirmed peri menopause. I'm trying to weight the pros and cons of HRT. Has anyone been in a similar situation?

I was at the same age with you when I had my meno. Actually at 42 it was a terrible shock for me.
I took almost immediately hrt and I am on it five years now.
I had the same fears about breast cancer but the quality of my life is my priority. Hrt gave my life back and I am grateful for it.

Thank you @Emerald13. What were your symptoms and when did they start? Also what kind of HRT did you take?

I had fatigue, body aches, depression, no motivation and no sleep. I am on cyclical type hrt, femoston 2/10 for five years now.
