How long does HRT last? - January 10th 2012, 08:09 PM

So, im wondering, if i do decide to get "the change," how long would i be taking Hormone Replacement Therapy? Would it start before or after the surgery? Thanks!

Generally you do HRT for a few years. THEN get surgery if you still feel it is necessary. I don't think there is a specific one to start with, but allowing the HRT to take affect will allow your body to change more. So when you go for the surgery, you won't need as much done (generally).

So, I would say at LEAST 2 years of HRT is the general rule of thumb, but that is normally decided between you and your doctor.


So you have gray hair and you're only 26

that's just another reason I love you...
