-- PLEASE SEND ME THE ANSWER TO BETH'S QUESTIONS IN REFERENCE TO ESTROTABS AND THE WEIGHT GAIN PROBLEM. THERE IS NO PROGESTRONE IN ESTROTABS WHICH IS A CONCERN OF MINE FOR THE PROTECTION FROM STROKE AND HEART DISEASE, WHICH I'M A HIGH RISK SINCE MY MOTHER HAD A SEVERE STROKE AND OPEN HEART SURGERY. I HAVE HAD BLEEDING WITH SEVERAL ESTROGENS MY GYN HAS TRIED ON ME, ONE WAS PREMPRO. I"M MORE THAN HALF WAY THROUGH MENOPAUSE. IS ESTROTABS A SAFE ESTROGEN FOR ME TO BE COVERED FOR HEART DISEASE AND STROKE? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!.
