I was having hot flashes at least 30 times a day. Once I went on this, my hot flashes went to zero. It greatly enhanced my life.

I've been using HRT for about 10 years. I began using it to help with the vaginal dryness I was experiencing after entering menopause in my mid-50's. Intimacy was out of the question at that time. I was also struggling with UTIs a couple times a year resulting in regular antibiotic use. Since starting using hormone replacement, my vaginal dryness has greatly improved along with my sex life. But best of all, I have had no more urinary tract infections eliminating the need to use antibiotics. That alone has been a god-send which I do not want to give up. Witnessing elderly women in my family struggle with late-age UTIs that ultimately became factors leading to their deaths is not a path I wish to follow.

In my late forties I started to experience sever fatigue (sleeping 10-12 hours per night and tired all day), hair loss, weight gain, extremely dry skin etc. My physical health was deteriorating fast and my mental health was not far behind. It was depressing not being my usual active self, no matter how well I ate or how much I tried to workout, I was getting nowhere. I found a wonderful doctor that took the time to get to the root of my problem. I am hypothyroid, have Hashimotos, an autoimmune disorder and a few heart conditions. After confirming my thyroid wasn't causing these issues, she tested my hormones and they were a mess, I was clearly peri-menopausal. She started me on bioidentical hormone replacement and it changed my life. I am healthier now than I have ever been. I got my energy back and am not going to waste it. Starting on the hormones and feeling so much better gave me the energy to get back to living my life instead of sleeping it away. I do a boot camp workout four days a week and walk three miles 5 -7 days a week and try to fit in yoga as well. As mentioned before, I have a few heart conditions, mitral valve prolapse, a coronary anomaly (only one coronary artery), etc. I just had my annual appointment with my cardiologist and he said my heart has never looked better. The mitral valve leakage is unchanged but the leakage in my bicuspid aortic valve has actually improved and the pressurization in my heart is better. Thanks to the hormones I have my life and health back.

I switched to compounded hormones to get much more precise and customized treatment for post-menopausal symptoms. Pharmaceutical solutions are very generic, designed for a broad population. They are typically a single formula, meaning that to get as precise a dose, I would need multiple prescriptions. In addition, using a cream is far less invasive and more effective. Please do not stand in between a woman and her doctor by limiting these critical compounded fornication.

My prescription of cBHT has been tailored to my blood labs. It was tweaked when necessary. I experienced less aches, improved cognition, stronger physical stamina, and improved balance. One size DOES NOT FIT ALL!

Life changing is how I have described my success with hormone replacement. I am sleeping through the night for the first time since menopause (priceless). I have increased energy, stamina and strength along with better mental clarity getting rid of the foggy thinking. I have been shouting the benefits from the rooftops to all my family and friends that struggle with the same issues.

I'm a two time cancer survivor and the many years of chemo destroyed my body's ability to produce hormones like testosterone. My doctor tried injections, pads, under the tongue, ointments and such. My testosterone numbers were all over the place with no consistency which caused other health problems. When we switched to compounded testosterone, my numbers stabilized right away and have stayed consistent for years. None of the other forms of testosterone therapy worked for me. The compounded testosterone is a blessing.

I have more integrity of tissues, more energy, no hot flashes, and no brain fog.

I am very grateful cBHT has been available. I have used it for 20+ years for pre menopausal, menopausal and post menopausal symptoms. I have tried OTC products with poor results. It has helped me in many ways: balance the effects of my hormones, minimized painful symptoms, assisted in improving the quality of my pelvic tissues, to enabling a comfortable sexual experience. I found increased mental focus and clarity with fewer emotional ups and downs. In general, my quality of live life mentally, emotionally and physically have all been improved more than the OTC products I have tried. Bioidentical HT has more directly zeroed in on the issues.

Unless you are a woman, or directly work/help women going through the different hormonal stages in life, you will never truly understand the difficulties we face with changing hormones. BHRT has improved my life for the better, and I cannot live without it.

It has solved my mood problems entirely!

I was having major insomnia issues for over a year that was due to lack of progesterone during perimenopausal stage. Not having progesterone negatively affected my daily life, as well as my family's. But, since starting compounded progesterone I am able to sleep again. What a godsend this medicine has been to me and my family. I can now function again and enjoy life!

I take DHEA for my adrenals and testosterone which has given back my life. They test throughout the year when it is necessary. I had tried before with medical doctors and blood tests, and it did not work. The saliva test works best.

I have been using cBHT for many years and it's what keeps my hormones in balance. I struggled for many years after a hysterectomy to get my life back. Traditional treatment wasn't working, but cBHT got me back on track.

Compounded sublingual progesterone has worked so well when oral and transdermal forms have not. It has changed my life in a significant way.

After surgical menopause, I was besieged by nearly constant hot flashes. I tried all of the conventional therapies with absolutely no relief. I began using topical hormone replacement therapy about 10 years ago, and it has dramatically improved the quality of my life. Please, please, please, do not take this therapy away from me.

My experience with FDA approved hormone replacements versus compounded, is night and day. The compounded products are all natural, they work without side effects, and can be callibrated to what your body needs, as indicated by regular testing. I now eat a plant-based diet and now have an even better understanding of how the body is able to assimilate natural ingredients that are bioidentical. I am currently using an estrogen cream, with the dosing adjusted by how many clicks, based on test results, and a progesterone troche. The Premarin product, FDA approved, which was first pushed on women my age, proved to be dangerous. I have been using compounded products for probably 25 years, with peace of mind.

cBHT has provided a much safer and more specific treatment option for me. I am a Registered Nurse with a Master Degree in Health Administration. I have researched this and fully understand the differences. It would be harmful to prohibit compounded bioidentical hormone therapy.

It has greatly helped my vaginal dryness, atrophy, and horrible disease, lichen sclerosis. I would be miserable without it and would no longer be able to have sexual relations with my husband.
