I'm 57 going through menopause and my doctor recommended hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to manage symptoms. However, I heard HRT has a potential link to breast cancer. Has anyone been on HRT? And how is it going?

One user mentioned that they have been taking estrogen daily and giving themselves a progesterone shot 4 times a year. Another user shared that they have been on a low-dose birth control pill for about 6 months and use micronized progesterone cream, which has helped with mood swings, heavy and erratic periods, trouble staying asleep, and anxiety. They plan to stay on the pill for 3 more months and then switch to Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) as they transition into menopause.
