I have been on HRT 3 times over the last 15 years. Each time I have found a huge amount of relief as I have PCOS and now perimenopausal. My body does not produce the proper amount of hormones, sometimes I have too many of one or multiple, and other times I do not have enough. The emotional stress that puts on me is exhausting as I never know if I am going to be able to function or need to sleep. HRT has been a huge help in especially stressful times of my life
