I am 80, have been on HRT since age 50. Using estradiol patch at lowest strength for the past 5 years or so. Have had many discussions with gyn doc about this and ultimately is my decision. I feel protective effects outweigh the possible negatives. I do not expect to ever stop it. I do not take for osteoporosis, I take for overall benefits.

I am 74 and have taken HRT for 20 years. Don't have any side affects. Check every year.

Same here. I am 70 and have taken some form of HRT since early menopause at 42. I recently switched from oral to the CombiPatch, within months a slightly elevated liver enzyme dropped to normal and my cholesterol readings improved. I plan to stay on HRT for life.
