Is it okay to start HRT/HT?Updated a month ago
The decision to take HRT is a very personal one and one that warrants a discussion with your healthcare physician. It is generally considered safe to start HRT/HT within the first 10 years of menopause (defined as the 365th day you don't have a period).
One of the best resources on this topic is Estrogen Matters by Dr. Avrum Bluming. That, along with Dr. Haver's new book, The New Menopause, might offer you some insights to help you make the right decision for you.
