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.

“Bio-identical hormones saved my life!”

I am a 58-year-old menopausal woman from Wisconsin. I have generally lived a healthy lifestyle and work as a Personal Trainer and Physical Therapist Assistant so my health and the health of others are extremely important to me. When I was a few months from turning 51 it seemed as if my brain and body stopped working and I was living in a shell of my body. The most horrible feeling I had ever felt. My health was under attack. I immediately showed up at my gynecologist and was tested to confirm that I was officially menopausal. During the first 2 months after I had 50-70 hot flashes per day at work which led to migraines lasting days and weeks and extreme exhaustion. I was put on bio-identicals: estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone at my request due to my sensitivities to chemicals. Within 2 months my symptoms were getting under control. I also did more testing and had an MRI done on my brain and then the Cancer MD reported that I do not have any tumors or cancer that I had severe menopausal symptoms and I needed to be put on HRT and anti-depressants. The MD refused to discuss any other options. Migraines continued at a moderate pace even with the bio-identical however this did get better over time and now they are managed by OTC pain medicine. I currently get tests 1 x per year for my hormonal levels and living a normal life in which I am able to work and be a productive part of society and family life. Please do not take this option away from women. Menopause is a major physical and psychological and mental shift and women's bodies are sensitive in nature that needs supportive treatments. Even though I had a severe case I believe I made the right choice for the future of my health.

“Life changing”

Please listen to us women who are benefiting from compounded hormone therapy. My provider is an expert in her field of medicine. The apothecary that makes my bio-identical hormones are also experts. I have been using their services for 20 years. I believe in the hormone therapy I receive because it works!
A great testimony is when my orthopedic surgeon told me that I have the bones of a much younger woman. He was unaware of my hormone replacement therapy.

Please do not take this service away from us. This is our choice and a huge benefit to a healthy life.

“Extraordinary healthy mind, body and spirit because of compounded HRT.”

My treatment began in the late 1980s. I was too young to stop producing eggs. My treatment for PMS went until 2018 after my OBGYN retired from medical practice. The biggest benefit I received besides HRT is having healthy organs. HRT compounding is all that I am prescribed to take until now I’m a victim of “ceasing continued need for HRT” and going back to pre-menopausal condition would be detrimental to my overall health for good cause showing I need balance.

“Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy Helped Me”

I was prescribed and took Bio-identical Hormone replacement therapy for menopause. I did not want to take traditional HRT as my aunt ended up with breast and bone cancer after taking traditional. I was not at all reluctant to try it, but I certainly was skeptical. I was amazed that I did not have one menopausal symptom during my entire course of the therapy. I have recommended it to many of my younger friends. It would be a shame if this awesome treatment was to not be available to other women.

“I noticed results within a week or less”

Having had a total hysterectomy with ovaries and everything removed, at age 36, I took Premarin for 10 years. Afraid of the risks of cancer, I just stopped it and a wonderful nurse practitioner put me on Triest--a compounded bio-identical. It totally changed my life from having to use moisturizers because of dryness. Premarin did nothing for me.

“Bio-identical hormones are very beneficial”

I had bilateral ovarian cysts with torsion in my early thirties after having two children. Surgery to remove the cysts left me in early menopause. I researched the benefits of bio-identical hormone replacement and successfully began daily use of HRT, compounded from a trustworthy pharmacy. I have been able to maintain my quality of life for almost twenty years with the use of compounded hormone replacement therapy.

“I thought I was crazy...”

This hormone treatment saved my marriage and my life. I started full-blown menopause during COVID…anxiety, and heart palpitations were through the roof. I was crying all the time and I really thought I was crazy. Nothing helped. Doctors were unavailable and I suffered for a year. Patch didn't help, estrogen pills made me feel very strange, and I was still having joint pain, wasn't sleeping and had more than 20 hot flashes a day. THIS THERAPY SAVED MY LIFE!

“This totally cured my health issues!”

Once I began applying compounded hormone creams the daily migraines went away, I lost weight (good loss) and I now have more energy. I have MTHFR and I had a total hysterectomy (appendix, cervix removed, and part of my bowels due to endometriosis at age 26). I have difficulty absorbing nutrients due to my health issues, and my hormones were non-existent until I started the compounded hormone creams. I do not take regular HRTs in the form of pills (equine estrogens) due to my delicate system and the potential risk of cardio issues due to the MTHFR I have. If compounded hormones are removed, I will have DAILY migraines, gain unwanted weight, and feel sluggish.

“Complete Change of Life”

When I underwent treatment for a myriad of deficiencies, one was for low-T, requiring testosterone therapy. The only effective treatment for this required a compounded hormone prescription.

Once I started this therapy, my life dramatically improved. I will probably need this for the rest of my life. This is not a prescription I can just fill at any pharmacy--it must be made to my specific needs.

Please stand up for those you represent and not those corporations who stand to just make more millions on top of millions.

“I am sensitive to fillers and compounded hormones help!”

Compounded Progesterone has helped my terrible insomnia while soothing both my gut and maddening urinary frequency. I tried regular oral progesterone pills but the additional ingredients upset my stomach. I now use compounded transdermal progesterone and I would be absolutely miserable without it. Please do nothing to change what compounding pharmacists can do.

“Life changing”

In 2021, at 33 years old I developed autoimmune issues that affected my life in many ways but one of the worst ways was my natural testosterone production just halted. I couldn’t sleep. I gained weight that no diet or exercise could help me lose. I became moody and impatient and angry. My sex drive died and put even more strain on a rocky relationship. It wasn’t until I finally got prescribed compounded testosterone that I started to feel like myself again. I didn’t find myself having meltdowns over every small thing. I could sleep more than 3 hours. I could feel my body changing with the work I put in. I can’t live without my compounded testosterone. It helps me be the best version of myself I can be for my family.

“I would be just a blob if not for compounded hormones...”

I spent 2 years not moving, dead to the world. Doctors would not do anything! As in giving me a blood test or any kind of test to see what was going on. I finally spent the money to go to a functional doctor who had me take a hormone test. I was very low in all of my hormones. Taking compounded hormones gave me my life back!!!! Please please don’t make this any harder than it is already 🙏🏽

“Bio-identical compounded hormones saved me”

For years I didn’t understand why I was exhausted and unable to work full time. I was only in my late 30’s. I didn’t drink or party ate an organic and paleo diet was at a decent body weight and was otherwise healthy. Years went by… eventually in my mid 40’s, some friends suggested it could be hormone related (my conventional doctors in Boston were useless and couldn’t help), I found a hormone specialist to see who is a functional doctor in Pasadena, CA. She did blood work on me and said my testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen were basically non-existent and she asked me how I had been able to function. I told her “barely” and my quality of life was terrible. She put me on a cocktail of an estradiol patch, testosterone troches, and progesterone capsules. It took a few months to get my levels right but the results have been miraculous. My night sweats went away, my constant, debilitating hot flashes went away, my sleep improved immensely, my depression disappeared and I was able to work full time again. It had been YEARS since I felt this good. In the last 4 years since I went on Bio-identical compounded hormones, I met the love of my life, got married, started a business, and bought a home. Prior to being on these compounded meds I basically had no social life or interest in anything. It would be really awful if the FDA made these options go away. For someone like me, these really are the only viable option. My “conventional medicine” options would be an IUD or birth control pills which is ridiculous because I am in my late 40’s and in menopause now. I have tried “the pill” to manage my symptoms prior to being put on Bio-identicals and the pill made me feel awful and did not help. If anything, it created more unbearable symptoms and mood disruptions. For all the toxic meds and vaccines out there that are allowed and encouraged, it is astounding to me the FDA wants to take away meds that are good.

“I, and many others like me, do not feel well taking synthetic thyroid medicine.”

I developed thyroid problems approximately 12 years ago. I was prescribed Synthroid. My doctor continued to increase the dosage, but I never felt well. I was so foggy-headed, I would get lost going to the grocery store. I had to ask my husband how to get to places that I had been to hundreds of times before. I was afraid to drive alone. I was so forgetful. I usually did not know what day it was. My quality of life was miserable. My doctor would not change my medication, he wouldn't listen, so I went to an endocrinologist. She prescribed Armour Thyroid. I took a dose, and the effect was amazing, after all that suffering I finally felt normal again! Please do not restrict my access to this medicine. If this happens, I will attempt to move to another country where I can get this medicine. If I am unable to move away, I will most surely consider ending my life, I just can't go back to being a foggy-headed vegetable of a person.

“Thyroid hell”

In 2014 my thyroid went haywire. I had developed a toxic nodule that caused my thyroid to become overactive. There are a litany of symptoms that go along with this condition and it makes one miserable. Once diagnosed, on the recommendation of an Endocrinologist, my thyroid was treated with radioactive iodine, rendering me hypothyroid for the remainder of my life. Thyroid medications were prescribed and helped some of the symptoms, but I still felt awful. My doctor prescribed a compounded, time released Liothyronine (T3) medication, to go along with my other thyroid medications, and within 30 days I was feeling better. Within 60 days I was myself again. It would be tragic if our government restricted use of these kinds of medications. My doctor also prescribed compounded B12 injections due to a deficiency, a condition that a supplement didn't help.

The use of cBHT has restored balance in my life. I sleep better, my moods are more stable—I just feel better. I love the fact these are made just for me—custom for my needs. Regular pharmacies are not able to do this and it would be a great loss for me—and a number of other people that I know—to lose this valuable resource!

“Compound Hormones Changed my Life!!!!”

Compounded Hormones changed my life from depressed, moody, with hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and irritable all the time back to a normal person with none of the above symptoms anymore.
My quality of life has changed so much…I am able to sleep and I have the energy to do my work again and with a clear mind.
I cannot imagine having to go back to those days before I found the wonderful doctor who prescribed the Compounded hormones I am using now.

I cannot imagine having to go back to those days without the Compounded hormones I am using now!!!

Please stop them from restricting the use of compounded hormone therapies!! Compounded hormones work and millions of women depend on them!!!!!

Hear their stories, in their own words. Protect their access to compounded hormones.

On this page, we can only touch on the data that demonstrates the importance of compounded hormones to the lives of millions of women in this country.
