    The breast cancer risk chart on the British Menopause Society education page clearly indicates the risk goes way up with a BMI of 30+, so substantially more than the risk of breast cancer with HRT. This video states that the risk is similar.

    Progestin is important for other things…including sleep. Regardless of whether you have a partial or full hysterectomy if you aren’t sleeping you may need progestin!
