I use transdermal estradiol (Estrogel), 1.5 mg/d and oral Prometrium, 200 mg

x 10 days/month. If I didn't have a uterus, I wouldn't use any

progesterone. It is the make-you-fat, make-you-cry hormone.

Valarie, what type of HRT do you use? I'm hoping my new dr. will have some

alternatives for me, because I know I need estrogen.

It is amazing how differently women respond to hormones.

I take twice as much estradiol and less than 1/4 the progesterone, mainly every other month. After just a few days on 100 mg oral, I lost control of my eye muscles first thing when I woke up, among other unpleasant side effects that was the scariest.
