My doctor says he has not problem with me continuing taking it, but it's up to me if I want to quit. I have had no side effects with it and feel great taking it, but need some guidance. I do not have a uterus or cervix, but still have my ovaries.
I'm post menopausal and have taken Estratest HS for over 15 years. Should I quit taking it now?

It is recommended that HRT be given for the shortest time possible and at the lowest dose possible... unless you are at high risk of developing osteoporosis or colorectal cancer in which long term treatment may be recommended.
If the later does not apply to you I would be thinking about stopping it now...
You can always restart if you feel you need to.
