cBHT has truly been a lifesaver for me, in a literal sense. Prior to taking cBHT, my symptoms were so severe that, at one point, I contemplated suicide (something that I never would have done prior to the onset of perimenopause). Within a week or so of being pelleted and supplemented, I felt happy, vibrant, energetic and balanced again. I must use a compounded form of progesterone, however. The FDA minimal approved dose is much too strong for me. I need a lower compounded dose and I am very glad that there are compounding pharmacies out there that can deliver customized medications. Each person is unique and so are our dosing requirements.
