Tomorrow is the day I'm supposed to stop my estrogen until after my BA. That thought scares the hell out of me, because I vividly remember my pre HRT self, and it wasn't pretty. However, and it's a big however, my surgeon only said 'try' stopping estrogen. He says my mental well being is as important as my physical, and if I'm uncomfortable, I should go back on the E. This of course, begs the question...why even try?
He explained that stopping E is more of a precautionary thing, that the risks during a short operation (one and a half hours) were negligible, to the point of being unmeasurable. He even said the jury is out on whether stopping does more harm than good.
I trust my Dr. but it sounds like such contradictory advice, I don't know which way to go. Studying his words carefully, I take it to mean he was giving ME the descision.
Anybody been off E for three weeks?
Should I just say 'I tried' but went Neanderthal?
Should I girl-up, and stop the E?
