A) "Estrogen replacement therapy is at such a low dose that side effects are very unusual."
B) "Estrogen replacement therapy has several side effects,including fluid retention,breast tenderness or enlargement,and vaginal bleeding."
C) "It would be very unusual to have breast tenderness with estrogen replacement therapy,and I suggest you contact your doctor immediately to have this evaluated."
