I don't know about that at all.. I tend to agree with Aunt Kelly about the side effects as the result of so many years of hrt was a contributing factor to my fiances death. Though not the primary , it would've led to his death in the near future without medical intervention( this was part of the medical examiners notes ) but he was so convinced he needed it that he never would've checked anything like that.

A few years before total meno, I had HAD to be on progesterone I had such severe problems so this was mandatory to avoid hysterectomy, I was just way too low. Yet my ob/gyn was adamant I stay on no longer than 5 years due to side effects.
