Here is great article on the topic from Dr. Josh Trutt of PhysioAge. 'IS THE UNEVEN REPORTING OF HRT STUDIES A “WAR ON WOMEN”??' It certainly shines some light on an interesting topic, which needs to be further discussed. http://truttmd.com/is-the-reporting-of-hrt-studies-a-war-on-women/

Well, I wasn't depressed But I am now. The only thing that matters to my husband is SEX and I know that the only reason that this was pulled up on my computer is that. I wasn't researching this, but I guess he was. I recently has an hysterectomy and for some reason sex now hurts. It has been three months, and I don't always tell him no. I hurt and suffer through it for him.

You should be glad your husband cares. If you are experiencing pain during sex, it's probably because you are dry. Go see your gynecologist. You don't have to live like that.
