I had horrible experiences with hormonal contraception, once while using it for birth control and again because doctors were willing to prescribe it for menopause while refusing to prescribe actual HRT.
I finally found a doctor who was willing to prescribe an HRT patch. All my menopause symptoms instantly vanished, with no side effects. The amount of hormones in HRT is waaaaay smaller than the amount in birth control, and getting meds via a patch is very different from getting them via a pill. I recommend the patch if you do try HRT.
