Hi Lorraine. No, so far no symptoms. But I've got to be in that category. My sister stopped having perimenopausal symptoms when she added soy to her diet. Then after chemo and radiation for breast cancer she had one horrible, almost hemmoraging period and none after. So I attribute two glasses of soy milk a day to my lack of symptoms. But I don't know whether I would even consider estrogen replacement for my depression. My pdoc brought it up when I saw him on Monday. I think I would want to talk to my gyn. According to the statement coming from the estrogen study, it would not be a first line treatment for me. Did you consider estrogen replacement when your depression began?
BTW, how are your treatments going?
