Many thanks for the post, Kris. I'm afraid to come off the pill cuz I worry that my endo will abandon me. Also, I'm afraid of not having periods cuz of the cancer risks. And, my endo put me on it because my estrogen levels were "undetectable" on testing and I had developed bone mass thinning. Are you using the creams? Do they give you periods? Any other benefits? Did you read Dr. Lee's books and find them helpful? And, yes, I've got PCOS and am a 45 year-old. I have no idea whether I'm premenopausal, menopausal, or neither. Indeed, I have no diea whether having PCOS means you basically become premenopausal from onset. LOL (assuming I've got that acronym right!) and cheers -- Alina
