My mom was on a very low dose of HRT but she developed breast cancer and her doctor thinks that this was the cause. When I start needing to take something, I already told my doctor that I'm going the natural route. A co-worker of mine went through early menopause and she's almost over it. She also went the natural route and she took Estroven for it and also started taking flaxseed oil and black cohosh. They now make different formulas of Estroven and here's the link: http://estroven.com/. I've also heard that eating foods with soy in them will also help. Good luck.
