ve decided to stop estrogen therapy. How should I do it?
If you have ever had hot flushes, I would recommend stop estrogen very gradually over three or four months and while taking full dose, daily progesterone. If you have osteoporosis or low bone density, you need to start etidronate or another bisphosphonate anti-bone resorption medicine before tapering estrogen (see Stopping Estrogen Therapy). When you have been off the estrogen for several months, if you have no reason for progesterone (such as night sweats or low bone density) you could also stop progesterone.
