I was surprised to enter menopause at 38, in the middle of adopting our second daughter. Symptoms included trouble sleeping, hair loss, and depression. I tried every form of HRT, and learned too late that synthetic Estradiol caused me to develop benign fibroadenomas throughout my uterus and ovaries.
I needed a full hysterectomy, and thankfully switched to compounded sublingual troches. Paired with progesterone, my hormones stabilized and I could sleep again.
2 years ago I wanted to save money, so I switched to an oral capsule. The results were DISASTROUS - unstable depression, anxiety, and loss of sleep.
I went back on compounded troches, and it took months to restabilize.
Compounded bioidenticals gave me my life back!!
