If anyone has personal experience with this or can direct me to the right thread I would appreciate it.Hi Cynthia,
I was on hrt for 16 years. I was put into medical menopause by the methotrexate at 38. I developed 3 stress fractures in 3 months in both legs. I was also showing with severe osteoporosis at that point. My gyn looked at the problem and said I was going on hrt. We stayed with it due to other health issues and I was doing ok. A side benefit was that the osteoporosis reversed and went back to normal levels. I went off the hrt the first of the year. I have done ok so far, a bit of adjustment, but nothing major.
Would I do it again? Yes. I felt better on it and my gyn felt it was worth the risk. My mammograms have all come back ok. My gyn issues have a long history and it was keeping them on an even keel. So, for me, it was the right choice.
