I have been on compounded hormones since I was 41 years old and plan on staying on them for the rest of my life. They have made all the difference in my quality of life as I went through perimenopause, menopause, and now post-menopausal. It would be a crime if compounding was restricted or compromised in its current state. I have tried the one size fits all hormone therapies and they do not work and are not compatible with all people's body chemistry. Compounding is essential to a balanced system!
