One thing at a time is a very practical and sensible approach. Remember that hormone blockers are recommended but not forced on you, if the side effects are too difficult you can stop. There is insufficient research on whether shorter periods of hormone blocker medication has some benefit- even after five years I could not find any research that said seven years (for example) was better than five if not as good as ten years. Side effects vary immensely - joint pain and aches are quite common and I had none at all. Other side effects may vary with age or your own health levels. One of the better side effects of bc is trying things you never thought you would - same applies to hormone blockers. Good luck and best wishes.
