Is *everyone* on HRT now?

I'm 56, last period 3 years ago. TBH I think my menopause symptoms haven't been too awful compared to some people (although with my terrible brain fog I might have forgotten them already 😂) but I'm still getting some. I still have night sweats and occasional flushes, I've noticed my skin is starting to feel very thin and itchy, and I have completely lost the ability to multi task - I'm getting really forgetful.

When my sister asked her GP about HRT she was advised not to as we have a strong family history of breast cancer, so I didn't really even consider it myself. But speaking to friends and coming on here makes me wonder if it's now the norm to be on it?

I am not on it, but surprised that the % using it is only 15%. Sometimes you do get impression that it is more like 90%.

The 15% who are on it seem.to be very vocal - nay shouty - about it so it seems like it's more, I think.
