I haven't hit this yet, but my mother went through this and her doctor recommended she take a daily dose of Vitamin B6.  This moderated her moods and her other hormonal issues.  She swore by this, and knew if she'd missed it even by one day.  Of course, my father nick-named it her b*tch vitamin, since that was what he noticed the most.  Her doctor said it was something that women could start taking anytime, as it helped with menstrating hormonal issues as well as the stopping of them, so I'm taking my daily dose.  For my mother, this was in addition to a multivitamin for her age.  I'm not into the multivitamin, so I just take the B6 and press on.  I do notice that during my cycle it's helped with my moodiness and cramping.

The one thing I do know is that each person has to do what they think is right for them.  Therefore I'm not saying I will or will not use HRT... when I'm crossing that bridge, I'll make up my mind and do what's best for me.  I'm glad to hear that you all are doing the same.
