"I had a hysterectomy in 1980 and have been on Premarin 1.25 mg for 33 years and have no problems at all. I love my Premarin. I hope I can keep getting Premarin because there have been times doctors give you a hard time and I need to keep taking it. I have terrible withdrawals. So I need it. I get awful headaches and pain."

"I have taken 0.9 Premarin (natural estrogen) for 23 years (after my uterus was removed at 34 and symptoms developed), and I am just fine (unless I don't take it). Any attempt to use any oral artificial estrogen made me very sick, and the patches left red welts that lasted for months. So I have stayed with oral Premarin, and although I don't appreciate the way horses are treated in order to produce it, I am very grateful that it stops the severe sweating, hot flashes, shakiness, and weakness that comes if I miss it for a day or two. It did not prevent osteoporosis. I do look 15 years younger than I should - a possible good side effect. 23 years and no problems."

"I suffered from endometriosis after my 1st born baby girl, 1980 (natural birth). Treatment from South Africa's fertility specialist (1983-1989) helped me through x 3 miscarriages and hopelessness. Eventually, I fell pregnant; cesarean baby girl, 1988, and my son was born in 1989. Still suffered endometriosis. My son was 3 days old when I had a hysterectomy done; left ovaries intact and put me on Premarin; weakest dose. Over the years, changed to 1.25 mg, which I've used for the past 11 years. Never had side effects EXCEPT a fair shade skin blemish on my chin. I've remained slim/trim, yet I've lived a healthy, active lifestyle. NOW, however -- I'm now 61 and no clue whether to stop using Premarin. I did for 2/3 months but had hot flushes & strong mood swings. Google info warns of danger to health if taken longer than 10 years. I've taken it NOW FOR NEARLY 30 years! ANY ADVICE / must I stop?? Love to hear of anyone else's experiences in a similar situation."

"I had cancer twice, and my ovaries are not producing hormones because of it. I'm now an adult and still have not started my period. I'm only on 0.3 mg, and it makes me eat more, and my doctor says I'm growing, so it's working so far."
