Hello. I depend on my compounded hormones for a good quality of life. Due to cancer, I had to have my ovaries and uterus completely removed at the young age of 41. It sent me into surgical menopause. I could not function without my hormones. It was a nightmare!! Several months later, I started on compounded hormones and it has been a life saver for me. For 15 years, I have had a much better quality of life because of them.
