@Linkat,
Yeah, that was the downside. (No cramps for 20+ years, then ay caramba.) (Sometimes, not always.)
Read too many scary things about continuing the hormones for too long though. Didn't have any ill effects or anything, but didn't want to continue for preventive reasons.
Meanwhile it's just nice to not have to remember the pill every day, pack it for every trip, etc. It wasn't a
huge burden but still very nice to just not have to think about it at all.
