menopause and HRT

praises1139 · 12-08-2011, 11:15 AM

My question is for my MIL, who does not have PCOS but has been struggling with exhaustion and depression. She felt great when she was on PremPro for HRT but then quit because of the breast cancer studies--her mother had breast cancer so she is at risk. I read in the book It's My Ovaries Stupid! that not all HRT is bad, all the studies were based on the one drug PremPro, and now there are more natural options that are also lower dose. Has anyone had any luck? I hate to see my MIL so tired and unhappy.
