Effects of HRT: Alone, in Combination or Sequencing

My mother was on HRT into her nineties. She didn't break any bones and her mind was as sharp as a tack until she went off a few years before she passed away at 97. I'm a believer in HRT. Like so many things in women's health, there is a lot of misinformation and nonchalance about doing what is best for us!

It’s very hopeful to hear about the benefits of HRT, and your mother’s story with HRT is truly inspiring. May I ask at what age your mother started HRT, the method of delivery, doses, and whether she was on estradiol and micronized progesterone?
I’m 57 and have been on BHRT for about a year now, but I’m still trying to get the doses right. I occasionally wake up at 3 or 4 a.m. due to nighttime hot flashes. From what I’ve heard, once the doses are correct, you should feel much better, but I’m still not quite there yet. I do have a mix of good days and bad days. Thank you for sharing your experience on HRT.

My sister-in-law (retired MD) told me I should be on HRT’s until I die. Some women need it, for others the risks out way the benefits. It is true that we all need to be addressed as individuals with different treatment options. I’ve said it on this forum before; that the Women’s Health Initiative study in the early 2000’s set us all back. Flawed study that scared the health care industry regarding HRT after menopause. If this were largely a male disease we would have it solved.
