Hi Did anyone see the new report on estrsogen/progestin homones and now they are saying cause deep thrombosis. Blood clots that get in the lungs. I now feel even more afraid to try a hormone. I am still waiting for the saliva test I sent off. It should be to the pharmacy tomorrow. it seems like all the reports on hormones keep getting worse.

I have not seen the report. I will look for it though. I just started with Prepro. I was very reluctant but my doctor said the HRT thing was over blown in the media. He gave me copies of the WHI report. Its like this: 30 hearts attaches vs. 38 per 10,000 women.

He gave me copies of the WHI report. Its like this: 30 heart attacks for non HRT women vs. 38 for those on HRT but is per 10,000 women.

Hi The saliva test will take another week the pharmacy said with Suzanne Somers book everything is taking longer.
I like you all don't really know what to think now. This last doctor told me the same thing about the previous test. I hope this report gets onto the the big news programs so maybe someone can tell more about it. It didn't mention in the report if it was only synthetic hormones or not.
