i take premarin 2.5 mg...been on it 6 years...no side effects what so ever.
i dont care where it comes from...as long as it works...your not actually going to taste the pee now are you??? so who gives a shit what its made of.
every type of hormone will have the same possible side effects. side effects are usually caused with combination of other medications and health related issues. they are triggered by something. if you are not healthy, if you are big and obese, if you eat poorly, if you dont exercise, if you drink or do drugs, and other things will cause the side effects to react.
a good endocrinologist will screen you first...some will deny you...and some will accept you as a candidate for HRT.
it is a must to be monitored regularly 2-4 times a year by an endocrinologist.
you should not smoke or drink AT ALL...NOT A..ZIP..ZERO. when taking HRT. i can not stress this enough.
i personally have a congenital heart disease and it took 8 dr's before i was recommended by a friend to the endo i had (until he retired). who was extremely knowledgable in HRT as it was his specialty.
dosage is a major issue. too much of it and your dead. i take about half of the recommended dose. body size, age, and health issues will be factors in finding the appropriate dosage. i started 1.25 mg prem, down to .675 and now the last 5 of my 6 years i am 2.5mg. normal is around 5-6mg. but is rare that people take such high dosages as they are lethal.
herbal does FUCK ALL and is a COMPLETE waste of money. estradial (progesterone) is ok but higher dosage and has even more side effects.
Then you should watch this..

Premarin is pure estrogen and hopeless in its given form.
I went through early menopause at 31 and I did a lot of research into how the female hormone structure works, especially as my mum had breast cancer at a young age.
What I learnt didn't seem to fit with what my doctor was telling me about HRT. Unopposed estrogen can cause breast cancer. Progesterone makes a hasty exit at menopause and it is a vital hormone because it stimulates bone building but why were so women who were taking HRT still getting osteoporosis? Because the balance of progesterone is actually very difficult to reproduce in menopausal women, mainly because its synthetic and our bodies reject it. Without progesterone our estrogen has nothing to team up with.
HRT is known to cause estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has all sorts of nasty side effects, the main one being breast cancer.
I did some research, in fact I did an awful lot of research and I discovered that we can get out hands on natural progesterone

This has made a huge difference to my life. I went from a moody, night sweating woman that had little interest in sex and who felt hugely unattractive to someone who was chilled, had a very high libido and felt good about myself. I have been taking this stuff for years now and my doctor who was so impressed, did his own research and now recommends it to menopausal women instead of HRT.

At 51 I seem to be right in the middle of the age range for menopause 
), but the crankiness i don't have. 
I was taking estrogen, but my head kept sweating, so my doc put me on estrogen with testosterone to combat that. Now my libedo is doing quite well!
