Another point to clarify is that I started estradiol only AFTER my total hysterectomy. I took estradiol at that point.
BTW I advocated for myself for a total hysterectomy after menopause b/c with hormone replacement, the uterus and ovaries do not offer any benefits but do pose a risk. In fact, ovarian cancer is often silent in that you get no warning till it is advanced.

Years ago, I remember saying to my GYN that I was done using all these lady parts and I'd be perfectly happy getting rid of them. She laughed and said they don't do surgery for no reason.
So that was that....I don't think I could get insurance to pay without a better reason than I was done using them! :))
