HRT Pros & Cons?

Just turned 45 last month and have been in peri for what I believe is at least 5 years, maybe closer to 10. The hot flashes, fatigue, and weight gain are no joke. I’ve even noticed my ADHD symptoms getting worse, especially around my period. I’m thinking of asking my doctor about starting HRT but wanted to get some insight from some of y’all. If you’re on HRT, what are the pros and cons you’ve noticed? I know there are side effects and risks from the research I’ve done so I’m trying to see if the benefits outweigh the risks. Would love to hear others’ experiences. Thanks!
