Thanks all

Hi Spanky

HRT when you say roller coaster, can you elaborate on that for us all ?

Julie

The roller coaster has mostly been the decision-making part.  I have not been cognizant of major mood swings or anything like that.  What I do notice is that when I am off HRT, after a couple of weeks I really miss the way it makes me feel, both physically and emotionally.  Like I am a little bit empty, or desensitized.  I then start to count the days until I can start up again.

Stoppages have generally been tied to work that I am doing (having to work outdoors, in tee shirts, in a hot climate, and in a very macho culture).  I may be kidding myself about this, but I think a few weeks off results in a little less pronounced boobage.
