Went through menopause without HRT because I was scared of the risks
The one thing nobody tells you
I lost four years of my life to symptoms I could have managed. The research I was basing my fear on was outdated. I wish someone had pushed back harder.

The conversation
I went the same route and regretted it. Eventually started HRT at 54 and wish I'd done it years earlier. Everyone's different though.
