Has anyone used Cenestin for HRT?

I am 17 mos. post op and just switched to Cenestin for HRT, had hysterectomy 5 years ago. I was taking Premarin but due to increase in headaches my doc switched me to Estratest at 4 mos. post op. I've had all the menopausal symptoms - hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, crying, headaches, hair loss plus I had some side effects from the testosterone (having to shave my legs daily!)so my doc put me on a NEW PLANT-BASED estrogen hrt called Cenestin. She said it is absorbed in the intestines not the stomach therefore I would absorb more. (not in the first 2 feet of intestines) Question: has anyone pre OR post op tried Cenestin? has anyone tried any of the over-the-counter soy isoflavone supplements (Revival brand comes to mind) that are supposed to help with menopause symptoms. I currently take in at least 30g of soy isoflavone protein daily. Thanks! kate open rny 6-14-01 pre op: 268lbs goal: 135lbs current: 126lbs
