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.

I was a surgical menopausal woman at 42 years of age. I am currently 58 years old. I fell apart physically and mentally when my ovaries were removed. I no longer was myself. I felt like leaving this beautiful world. I felt so horrible. It took me many years to get back up to something similar to the woman I once was. I have been on hormone replacement for 18 years and specifically bioidentical biestrogen cream and testosterone cream. It has given me 18 more years to live and experience life! My mother never used hormone replacement therapy and died with horrendous osteoporosis and several broken bones, two hip replacements and dementia. My bones at 58 are that of 20 year old as tested by bone density tests. I take creams because I cannot tolerate the patches or gels that are FDA approved. Those are way too strong for me. My hormone replacement is dosed to a dosage that I can tolerate and with being older, I do not wish to take my hormones in pill form for risk of stroke and clots. I need my compounded hormones to exist!

Bioidentical hormones work so much better than traditional hormone therapy, there is no comparison. Before them I thought my life was basically over due to menopause, now I can function like a normal human being and still enjoy intimacy with my husband. Traditional hormone therapy had me on a path to divorce.

Bioidentical hormones allow the patient (myself) to receive a treatment specialized to my body without the side affects of traditional hormone therapy. Traditional hormone therapy does not work the same on everybody. This allows the product to be custom made and well tolerated by each patient...like a custom tailored dress or suit!

I was depressed, sluggish and demotivated when perimenopause hit. For me it hit at 36. Every doctor I went to told me that my tests were inconclusive to anything wrong with me. I have been to 10 different doctors. When I contacted Integrative Medical doctors, that is when I was tested again and told that I could feel better on bioidentical hormone therapy. I started right away. I have been using compounded bioidentical hormones for over 10 years and it has saved my life. I am a healthy vibrant 51 year old. If this type of medication was taken away from me, it would devastate my health and my life.

For me, bioidentical hormone therapy was life changing. It's hard to explain how much of a positive impact it's made. I'd given up on Premarin cream and the estrogen pills prescribed by my previous doctors. I felt that my mental health was suffering along with the ability to enjoy life with my family. I experienced constant hot flashes, vaginal dryness, weight gain, depression, and severe insomnia. All of these symptoms decreased and then ceased after my first and then ongoing cBHT pellet treatments. All those I've talked to have had similar results with no negative side effects. I'd be lost if this type of treatment were no longer available to me!

BHRT has saved my life! I have been using this for the past 10 years. Initially I started using BHRT to control urticaria which has been a success! I have eliminated all vaginal dryness, my skin has cleared, and I feel absolutely wonderful with a high energy level every day. I have zero hot flashes or rapid heartbeat as I did before going on BHRT. This makes me feel like a young woman again!

I am a 64 year old woman who has been using compounded bio-identical hormone replacement therapy for approximately seven years. Hormone replacement therapy almost instantly resolved my menopausal hot flashes and sleep issues. Since then I have resolved migraines, my blood counts are all healthy and my energy is great. I think this therapy is VERY important to my overall health and vitality.

Over the past 10 years, I have use cBHT on and off. It has been clear to me that my quality of life is much better when I have used them. Additionally, I've found my recent move to pellets fits my lifestyle better and provides me with a more consistent dosage.

Compounded hormoens have worked for me for 15 years now. I tried the regular hormones, but got so many symptoms like depression, hot flashes, sleepless nights etc. ( I couldn't find the right balance).

I started using compounded bioidentical hormones after experiencing side effects from oral hormones, such as a cyst in my breast and fibrous tumors in my uterus. I need hormones because night sweats would waken me four or five times per night for 20 minutes at a time, severely impacting my sleep and my ability to function well the following day. I no longer have this issue since taking bio-identical hormones.

I really didn't understand how much my body was affected as I began going through perimenopause. I was lying in bed for up to four days during and after my menstrual cycle. I would force myself to work even though I was dizzy and light-headed. I had brain fog that affected my cognitive abilities. Hot flashes and restlessness made it difficult for me to get to sleep easily. I also gained weight even though I was eating healthy becoming almost borderline overweight. When I began taking bioidentical hormone therapy all my symptoms went away. I wasn't even aware how much my quality of life was affected until the symptoms disappeared. In order for me to have the full and productive life I have now, I need the bioidentical hormones. My career and my personal life have immensely benefited from my decision to balance out my hormones during perimenopause. This is a tremendous gift in the world and has greatly improved my life.

A lifelong bubbly, happy person, as I approached menopause the drastic change in my hormone balances created anxiety, depression and interfered with my family and work life something terrible. Within 3 months of being on compounded hormones, and tweaking the dose to fit my body's needs, I was quickly on my way back to being my normal self. Since then, being able to change my dose as my body evolves, has made all the difference between living a stable happy life and having to deal with constant problems caused by hormone imbalance including anxiety and depression, intestinal, muscle, skin and joint issues, as well as severe migraines. I can't imagine my life without bio identical compounded hormones that are specifically formulated for my body's needs.

cBHT was prescribed pre-menopausal for me around age 45. It was a life saver as far as menopausal symptoms that other women had using non compounded. I have NEVER had a hot flash, my energy remained even, and compared to other women I know mood swings were very rare. My doctor is a more natural type doctor and prefers more natural solutions. I am now 63 and I still use cBHT which has been adjusted as my body has evolved over the past 18 years.

I began using bioidentical hormones after having been on the usual pharmaceutical hormones. I became versed through the study made available by a local endrocrinologist. In understanding the value of both bioidentical hormones and the ability to compound these hormones for the patient specific
balance I was extremely happy to embrace this method. I have been impressed with the medical professionals who monitor the bloodwork and work to balance the hormones for my body. I have had
positive Dexa scans which I credit in part the hormones, and the near absence of headaches, most especially migraines, and also total vaginal comfort. I am happy...Thank you.

cBHT changed my life! I had severe symptoms from the midlife change. Severe sweats and painful sex. Nothing helped either of these until I began cBHT. It made me feel like a young woman again and I believe my overall health has benefited. Comparing myself to friends my age who are not on cBHT (but some are on synthetic hormones), I come out the winner in all aspects of life including overall health, youthful looks, and a satisfying sex life.

I have been taking cBHT for eight years. I had uterine cancer 20 years ago and was told to avoid hormonal supplementation. However upon researching cBHT I decided to try the therapy. I take estrogen, testosterone and progesterone via vaginal cream and my symptoms (vaginal dryness, low libido) have improved tremendously. In addition my bone density tests have showed improvement of my osteopenia. My practitioner also monitors my adrenal function and thyroid levels to ensure maximum effects from the cBHT.
