My thoughts will be with you! I've heard many more good things than bad of the after effects. Everyone is different and you'll discover your own coping tools for the menopausal symptoms (if any). Research and family history will predicate what is right for you. I've heard very good things about the homeopathic meds to help with things like hot flashes. Be sure to know and understand the long term effects of any chemical/hormone replacement therapy! Weigh the benefits and risks...and educate yourself to the hilt! Knowledge IS power!

Best wishes hun!
