United States

In the United States, millions of people depend on compounded medicines to live normal, productive, healthy lives. Their first-hand stories speak directly to the power of this important therapy. As the FDA considers removing access to certain medicines like compounded hormones, their voices must be part of the conversation.

“cBHT has greatly improved my life. It has helped with my mig...”

cBHT has greatly improved my life. It has helped with my migraines and depression. Before my cBHT I had debilitating migraines 4 to 5 days a week. I was severely depressed and had anxiety. This has changed my life and has improved my quality of life! Thanks to cBHT I can function and don't have to worry about migraines!

“In my late twenties, I began getting severe and frequent mig...”

In my late twenties, I began getting severe and frequent migraines. In my teens I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid, and knew I had dealt with other illnesses during my college years that had disrupted my hormones. At my wits end, and crying, I called a local doctor who was well known for hormone replacement therapy. Within two weeks, I learned my body had virtually zero progesterone, was estrogen dominant, and of course, the underactive thyroid. Now almost six years later, I recommend it to women. I personally have helped three other women better their lives because they have sought out the help of doctors and hormone replacement therapy. They, like me, are so thankful to feel better and live better lives.

I am a trans man and I have been medically transitioning for almost four years now. I have an allergic reaction to cottonseed oil which is what testosterone cypionate is usually suspended in. Without compounding pharmacies, I would not be able to get the testosterone I need.

The Progesterone cream not only has helped reduce hot flashes, but has appeared to also help slow the process of my osteoporosis. I am not on bone medications, but have taken the progesterone along with a Calcium and Vitamin D supplement and have improved DEXA results. I am 64 years old.

“I am a female with low testosterone and low progesterone, po...”

I am a female with low testosterone and low progesterone, possibly related to a chronic pain condition. I have had great benefit from bioidentical hormone replacement, even after an endometrial ablation had not sufficiently dealt with the problem of Menorrhagia. After many years of paying exhorting prices for hormone replacement and other compounded medications, I learned that I have coverage through my OptumRX plan when filled at an approved NCCP compounding pharmacy licensed in my state. Please continue access to this life-improving medical care. It unfortunately is not an option now for many people, and it should be more widely accessible because there are many others who are limited financially or through lack of patient/provider education.

“Around age 40, I was having repeated UTI's. I would end one ...”

Around age 40, I was having repeated UTI's. I would end one antibiotic and within a week, I had another UTI. After starting bioidentical hormones, since my sex hormones were so low, my UTI's did not return. I went into menopause at age 43. I am now 51 and have started to lower my dosing. The hormones also improved my libido.

“I suffer from Fibromyalgia and was also suffering from going...”

I suffer from Fibromyalgia and was also suffering from going through menopause. After doing a lot of research on HT, I felt more comfortable and safer using BHT. I'm sleeping better and not dealing with insomnia which helps 110% with my Fibromyalgia symptoms which helps with my day to day living and not being bed ridden. The fact that my BHT pills are changed according to my hormone levels is a plus. FDA needs to stay out of this, especially because many women suffer from menopause. I do say suffer, because that's exactly what we go through as well as our mental state and many other bad symptoms.

After a complete hysterotomy, I needed some hormone replacement. At first I tried oral medications, but later switched to cBHT and it has been so much better! I would hate to think what I would do if I could no longer get the cBHT.

cBHT is very helpful for me. It allows me to have the proper hormonal balance. Proper hormone balance is imperative for me. I have had a complete hysterectomy and do not have hormone balance without cBHT. I had osteoporosis and cBHT help me with this. I feel a major difference when I am not taking my hormones as prescribed. I am also post-menopausal.
