I think it’s an individual choice. I’ve been put off by the breast cancer scares. My mum died of it. I’ve also wanted to wait until my symptoms are” bad enough “, but not sure I’ve ever reached that point, although I know for sure I’m a different person to 3 years ago. I feel below par all the time is probably the best way to explain it. Like you suefone, not overly bothered by hot flushes, but I am just generally hotter all the time. The worst for me I think, has been morning/ travel type sickness. I can’t do anything until that goes off, and medication just makes me drowsy. It’s hard enough to think as it is! If it’s worked before, then go for it OP, sounds like you’ve nothing to lose.
