That's OK: No one has to take estrogen if they don't want to do so. However, if you are menopausal, you should make sure you have testing for osteoporosis risk as bone loss due to lack of estrogen can be prevented by other means as well.

What if?: Question is a little confusing. The bottom line is that hrt (hormone replacement therapy) is not appropriate for everyone. It would not be advisable for general, overall health. If there is a specific reason such as osteoporosis, severe vasomotor symptoms, this is a different story. Ultimately it is best to have a detailed discussion with your doctor detailing the pros and cons.
