			Can't help with an answer.  I had a hysterectomy at 36.  Hang in there.

			I'm 52 too.  I started to stop a few years ago and was put on Prempro for the mood swings and started back up but when I went off of it I quit completely.  I haven't had a period for 2 years.  Everyone is different and I guess your body just isn't ready yet.  I will tell you that it's nice that I don't have to worry about that any more.

			I'm 54 but had a complete hysterectomy in 2001.  I take Premarin to help with the hot flashes.  I tried going off of them and it was hell.  So I'm taking them again, but the lowest dose possible.

			You don't want to hear my answer.. I was done -Totally done- at 42 or 43... took me two years from beginning to end.. pretty smooth it was. I don't take any hormone therapy. I heard years ago that the sooner you start (monthly) the longer you go, and the later you start (monthly), the sooner you stop. Good luck! Hope it ends for you soon!! |
