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.

Michigan Grand Rapids“I had to get a total hysterectomy because of endometreosis. ...”
I had to get a total hysterectomy because of endometreosis. My OBGYN said I had it so bad it looked like a bomb went off. I also have a chronic constipation problem. Whenever I take anything in a pill form, the binders and fillers make it so bad that I get constipated . Sometimes for five days. This is not good for my health as toxins are building in my system and can kill me. Plus it is very painful. This is why I need my hormones compounded or any other meds I might need in the future. I'm sure there are thousands if not millions of women, for one reason or another that have to get there hormones compounded. So please don't limit our access to hormone replacement.

Several years ago, I began developing a lot of health problems relating to menopause and hormone loss. When I was tested, I had almost no hormones in my body and my doctor wondered how I could even get through my days. Fact was, I really couldn't. It totally affected my energy, sleep, mood, the quality of my life. It took some months, one of my meds compounded, but my doctor and I were able to rebalance my hormones and I was able to regain my energy and my life. It would be a travesty if I could no longer have access to these drugs I depend on. PLEASE do not discontinue. I don't know what other options I would have! I can't imagine losing these drugs that help me on top of all the difficulties of Covid.

Prior to compounded hormone replacement therapy, I felt very fatigued, especially during my workouts at the gym. I also had low libido along with monthly cramps and mood swings. Post hormone replacement therapy, all of those things have greatly improved. I am more energized and my libido is fine. I also no longer experience severe cramping as I did previously. It has been a blessing to me and I think my husband would agree!

After my hysterectomy, I couldn't sleep and had horrible hot flashes and night sweats. Some people who don't experience these symptoms tend to think those of us who do have these symptoms are exaggerating.
I had to change my bedding 2-3 times a night because I would sweat so profusely that the bedding was soaked. My hair was so thin, you could see my scalp. I was going bald.
It's difficult to be making a presentation at work while having a hot flash. It's extremely difficult to look professional while sweat is pouring down the sides of your face.
Due to family medical history, traditional hormones are not an option. Without the compounded hormones, I feel disabled. It would be a horrible life.

I had very bad menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, couldn't sleep, brain fog). Non-compounded alternatives did not work for me. Believe me I tried, as insurance does not cover compounding. Compounding has afforded my physician to fine tune the exact doses I need. Without this, my quality of life would be extremely poor!

I need a dose that no manufacturer makes. My dosage is halfway between what is available. The quality of my life would be greatly diminished if compounding becomes unavailable. Insurance does not cover what I am taking, but it is worth it for me to have this as an option. Please please do not allow this option to be taken away from me!

Before I started taking the hormone cream, I was getting constant bladder infections. I have had one since I started taking the cream probably close to 8 -10 years ago. I was very dry with intercourse and having pain. The dryness has improved. It also improved my sex life with my husband. Prior to the cream, orgasms were few.
I am very grateful for this type of treatment!

20+ years ago, I was bleeding uncontrollably, exhausted, and frustrated. Traditional medicine told me a hysterectomy was my only option. With a family history that could have me benefitting from additional years of normal menstruation, I tried hormone replacement. Within a few months, I was feeling great and back to normal. PLUS, I had 15 more years of normal menstruation to help benefit my bones and heart. This therapy has been a godsend. Thank you.

Without BHRT, I would not be able to function, would have lost my job, and I would have experienced tremendous undue physical suffering. My body was extremely sensitive to synthetic hormones and I could not tolerate them. Before BHRT, my pre-menopausal symptoms were so severe, I visited the emergency room approximately 19 times for life threatening symptoms. BHRT gave me my life back. Women deserve choices and options.

I have been using compounded hormones for almost two years now. A dexa scan, just before I started on them, showed osteoporosis. A follow up dexa 14-15 months later shows enough improvement to take me out of osteoporosis and back to osteopenia. I believe that I will continue to see improvement.

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. While the decision to take this vital therapy from patients and physicians might be profitable for the big pharmaceutical companies, it will be disastrous for the millions of patients that those same pharmaceutical companies cannot serve!
We encourage the appropriate committees in both the House and Senate to hold hearings on this critical issue.
Preserve compounded hormones.
