I will stay on it for as long as I get the benefits from it!

My GP said if it was keeping symptoms at bay & my BP etc behaves itself, why not. He said quality of life is important. So until he says "NO" I'm staying on it.

Well I'd love to, but with my issues with progesterone, and having to stay on a cycle, I'm not sure how long I will be prepared to do that.

I went to a menopause clinic at the hospital and was told I could stay on it indefinitely 😀

Interesting reading. I wonder if the doctors were not so keen for us to come off it if more of us would stay on it for life. I am having such a struggle coming off HRT its a nightmare,

I'm counting the days till I'm 50 and I can try coming off it!  Having said that, if my quality of life is very low when I get to that stage, I will stay on it, it's just that I hate taking stuff so I am really hoping I can wave goodbye to it in another 9 years!
