Mary, here's a link to a section on hystersisters.com that deals with HRT. They are neither pro-or-anti-HRT.

On the page, you will see purple columns just right of centre. Those are links to the discussion boards, where you will see a bunch of selections. You might want to bookmark this page and read through the forums one at a time. It's all first-hand experience, just like you are getting here. ON the hyster board, you will get many more of them, and maybe some interesting tips.

When I had my hysterectomy last year, I kept my ovaries. So - I will still get to have menopause one day (YAHOO! - not ). I'll likely do low-dose HRT at that time, for a while. Will cross that bridge when I get there.
