[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 60872, member: 3626"] I did for a long time. Had a complete hysterectomy in my late 20s and really didn't want to go through menopause that young. I finally quit estrogen about 5 years ago. I hate the menopause symptoms, especially the hot flashes but cannot go back on HRT because of questionable mammograms and a history of breast cancer in my family. If I could, I'd go back on an HRT treatment in a heart beat. However, I admit to being pretty relaxed about my health and willing to take chances. I've always driven fast, smoked most of my life and love carbs to death. Given the fact that your cholesterol is increasing it almost sounds like you're exchanging a known risk factor (high cholesterol and all that is put at risk by it) for a potential risk factor. You might want to try one of the homeopathic treatments (St. John's Wort, etc.) to see if it helps before going the HRT route since you have concerns. [/QUOTE]
