    This has been the best medicine for me since my hysterectomy. It's helped with the hot flashes and moodiness. Published: September 23, 2007 ::

    After my hysterectomy, I tried two different patches. I still had symptoms, the estrogen delivery was not even. After being on the estrace pills, I feel like a new woman, both mentally and phyically. It alleviated all of my symptoms. Published: November 11, 2008 ::

    At age 50 I had a radical hysterectomy and began estrogen replacement therapy. Seven years later I had DCIS (non-invasive breast cancer surgery) and was taken off my estrogen for seven months. I elected to start it again and had been fine. Last year I stopped, thinking at age 67 I was past needing estrogen. WRONG!! Insomnia, warm flashes, mood swings all came back. Just started back again on 1mg 3 times per week and looking forward to feeling better again soon. I'd rather live 10 more years feeling good than 20 more years feeling like I've felt for the past few months. I've been cancer free for 10 years and have yearly mammograms. My doctors say the benefits outweight the risks. Published: March 06, 2009 ::

    I had a hysterectomy in Janaury 2009 in order to take estrogen to stop my bone loss. It was the only safe way to take this medication without the risk of cancer, as it runs very highly in my family. I also have had severe reactions to 4 osteoporosis medications, and my doctor and I have decided that I should not take any more of these medications. They have caused lasting medical problems for me. So far I am very satisfied with my estrogen treatment. Published: March 05, 2009 ::

    Comment from: Sunny, 25-34 Female on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)

    Currently taking Depo (Verva) for birth control the first time. no problems after 8yrs i decided to choose this method again. Not the same results. I was constantly spotting no a good thing in a new relationship! My doctor suggest I take it for seven days to stop the spotting. So far so good and i must admit that my interest to "participate" in bed was restored as well. Hope you find this helpful. Published: December 10, 2008 ::

    I have been on the medication and now I am having hot flashes really bad - alternate between hot and cold. They occur day and night. Worse problems since I started hormones. I am going to change right away after contacting my physician. Published: May 26, 2009 ::
