vkmov, first, no apologies! I'm grateful for your time and effort in providing detailed response and thoughts. I really like to read personal experiences or encounters, and compare them to those described in literature. I've just recently started exploring HRT as an option so I have lots of catchup to do. Coincidently I just got an appointment with my gyn due to a cancelation. Am very eager to hear what she has to say, mainly the risk factors in my case. I also have cardiologist apptmt lined up so I could make some sort of preliminary conclusion before I meet my endo.

Thank you so much for the links, I'll read them all and prepare myself to ask educated questions.

Best of luck to you with forteo therapy!
