I’m 10 wks into my HRT regimen, estradiol patch 0.05mg + cyclic oral progesterone. I’ve been noticing some improvement in hot flashes, but breast tenderness is still an issue.
I’m wondering, for those who’ve tried both, what’s the difference between HRT and supplements in terms of effectiveness for perimenopause symptoms? Are there any supplements that you’ve found to be particularly helpful for breast tenderness or other symptoms?
