More important than it initially looks like. Usually it would be a big "deal with it", but in the two weeks I need to go off HRT, I'll still be working 8.5 hours. I have seven days to be at work with both low E and T. On the surgeons notes, I only need to stop "Estrogen hormones, blood thinning medications and NSAIDS". No word on Cyproterone Acetate or Dutasteride, so I'll keep taking them.
So far, I've only had one bad day without E, having what seemed to be my first hot flash, plus a lot of headaches. I've never had migraines. But that happened on a weekend and I just laid in the couch until I could dose again
So, what can I expect? I'm supposing I will be getting menopause-like symptoms, but at least I won't get aggressive and smelly. It would be ok if it happened on vacations, but I need to be the same pseudohappy person in an open office environment (no cubicle to hide in).

I stopped cyproterone 4 or 6 weeks before SRS due to its effect on blood clotting and long half-life. Kept on taking bio-identical estrogen since it was non-oral and effect was non-significant, same as estrogen in genetic women when they go for surgery. Never went through PMS or menopause symptoms. :) Continued bicalutamide, finasteride and bio-identical progesterone
