“My experience with compounded HRT has been such a sucess! I ...”
My experience with compounded HRT has been such a sucess! I have been using them for 17 years. When I started at age 47 years old, I was going through an early menopause due to an autoimmune disease. I had significant osteopenia. Now, at age 65 years old, I am currently stable. The hormones have been essential for the state of my bone health. This has been a miracle for me. They are safe. I have never had any negative side effects, only positive ones. I truly hope that these bioidentical hormones are protected and made available to all who could benefit from their use! This has saved my life!

I have received compounded bioidentical hormones from Custom Medicine for over 15 years. The service has been impeccable, the changes in treatment made immediately and the quality always excellent. Custom Med has always worked with me regarding timing of sending my meds that works for my schedule.
I would definitely not want to lose the option to have my hormone replacement compounded and provided by Custom Medicine.

I am using a hormone replacement from a compounding pharmacy. It has helped me tremendously after trying several other options through traditional pharmacies that I could not tolerate due to preservatives. The medication I now receive from compounding has very little in it other than the estradiol I need. Finally, I have relief.

After having a total hysterectomy at age 38, I was looking for something that would help me feel my absolute best. After trying gel and troches, pellets are by far the best as your body stays at an even keel.
I have estradiol and testosterone pellets and have been getting them inserted for approximately 16 years. My dosages for these have been adjusted based on how I feel and my blood test results. This is a total game changer in being able to focus, mental alertness, mood, energy and overall sense of well-being.

“Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy saved me. During pe...”
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy saved me. During peri-menopause and continuing into my menopause, I became anxious, depressed and irritable. I was difficult to live with and quite frankly did not like the person I became. Intellectually, I knew that my moods were out of control. I also understood, that as hard as I tried, I could not change or alter the emotional roller-coaster that I was riding. A friend that had endured similar symptoms told me about the compounding pharmacy in Beverly, "Custom Medicine" and how using this therapy helped her dramtically. I went to their website, filled out the symptom checklist and my PCP ordered the recommended lab tests and then I sat with the compounding pharmacist. This treatment saved my relationship with my spouse and corrected the hormone imbalance that was responsible for the dark side of me that I did not recognize. Additionally, my hot flashes ceased.
When my medical insurance refused to pay for my prescription, I decided to try a traditional "patch" prescription and asked my PCP to prescribe the lowest dose possible. This patch made me feel like I was premenstrual and I actually spotted blood. My breasts were tender. Despite it being the most minimal dose of estrogen/progesterone replacement, it felt extreme after my ideal individually compounded bioidentical dose. I immediately went back to it. Despite the out of pocket expense, it was well worth it!

It gave me a source of estrogen because my body needed it very much. I think with very careful tracking, patients like me should have an option to get the treatment. And it is safe because it is all plant-based which gives me peace of mind.

I had terrible menopause symptoms: bad hot flashes, dry vagina, and severe mood problems resulting in a near fatal suicide attempt. I was prescribed cBHT by Mehri Bashiri at Vashan Compounding Pharmacy. This helped me enormously to overcome the severe depression and other symptoms of menopause that I had, by restoring the proper levels of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone to my body. Anti-depressants don't work if your hormone levels are not right. Please continue to make this kind of treatment available to people who are suffering from hormone related issues.

“cBHT has greatly improved the quality of my life. Menopause ...”
cBHT has greatly improved the quality of my life. Menopause is a VERY real life disrupter. cBHT has helped me to take this type of disruption and put it in the proper prospective, which helped me to keep up with the normal and enjoyable activities of my life. I really would be a sad, lost person without it.

The cBHT reversed my vaginal atrophy and dryness. It also helped improved my libido. Blood tests indicated very irregular hormonal levels. My doctor recommended cBHT bc he could not prescribe correct dose of hormones for me.

Since starting cBHT, a number of years ago, I have lots of energy, a positive outlook on life, no pain or other signs of any type of inflammation! I had originally started out using synthetic hormones but was starting with side effects which disappeared after starting the cBHT treatment.

cBHT was a lifesaver for me. I was suffering with mood swings, high levels of stress, and fatigue to name of few of my most difficult symptoms. With BHRT, I have felt balanced, less stressed, and better rested.
Twice a year, I have testing done to check hormone levels and to assess symptoms. Based on those results, my compounding pharmacist will make adjustments. I trust her and know I'm being well taken care of.
Both my gynecologist and primary care physician recommended BHRT and the compounding pharmacist I see. I think that says a lot as to the results these physicians have seen in their patients.

The cBHT has given me back my life. Before starting cBHT I was suffering with fuzziness in my mind, difficulty with clarity, excessive fatigue, vaginal dryness, and a drooping urethra that caused repeated bladder infections and a non existent libido. Other medications did very little to alleviate these problems, but cBHT has helped them all. I no longer have bladder infections. My husband and I are both very happy with the changes to our romantic relationship. The skin on my face and body has responded to the medication as well and people think I am 10 years younger than I am! There is nothing I've ever had that works this well. Do not make any changes to this medication. It works.

In 2008, I started experiencing severe menopausal symptoms including extreme debilitating hot flashes. I tried a number of different therapies and nothing was helpful or effective. In addition, those treatments caused adverse side effects including breakthrough bleeding.
I began using cBHT in 2010 and within a few weeks started to notice an improvement in my symptoms. With continued use, the hot flashes ceased and I was able to finally get a full night's sleep which dramatically improved my quality of life.
I have continued to use cBHT and at the age of 59, I am in excellent health. I am closely monitored by my physician and all of my blood work continues to be optimal. In addition, I have had bone scans and have excellent bone density. I can honestly say that I feel better now than I did 10 years ago. In addition, I enjoy better health and vitality than anyone else that I know in my age group. Furthermore, I have never experienced any adverse effects with cBHT. However, if I were not able to continue using this product I am quite certain that my quality of life would be adversely affected and my health would suffer.
Please listen to the experience of actual women who have used these products and have found them to be not only useful but life changing.

cBHT has worked incredibly for me! I was genuinely missing these hormones which resulted in lack of sleep, severe got flashes, weight gain and irritability. After using cBHT, I returned to normal! This may not seem newsworthy to many, but it gave me back my QUALITY OF LIFE! I am confident when I share that I'm not alone in being positively impacted! I don't want my treatments determined by manufacturers and health insurers!

I had BSO several years into immediate menopause. Fortunately, I had already started cBHT a month prior, which facilitated the effect. cBHT continues to alleviate several symptoms that impact my every day life such as hot flashes, incontinence, dryness, sleeping and anxiety along with overall moodiness. With regular bloodwork analysis and compounding specific to my needs, I only see this as a benefit rather than taking a 'same size fits all' approach with regular preventative health measures such as mammograms and physicals are followed.

The topical creams have greatly improved my libido and relationship with my husband! They completely halted terrible hot flashes, relieved overwhelming fatigue, and improved my mood tremendously! I NEVER want to be without these biomimetic and bioidentical hormones. My fasting lipid levels have actually improved as I have gone through menopause. My HDL is 72, which I attribute both to my daily walking but mostly to estrogen's benefits which have not decreased since I went on BHRT. DO NOT take these away!
