Early Menopause & Sex - Severe Need for Compounding Medications

I entered menopause at 40 years old. I had just had a baby and was breastfeeding him. Likewise, I did not want to take any prescription medications, and my OBGYN recommended compounded estrogen by a Compounding Pharmacy in Arizona. I was able to avoid the side effects of menopause with the use of these compounded meds. I remained on this course of treatment for over 15 years. As I aged, I am now 65, I experienced painful intercourse and was not willing to give up a sexual relationship with my husband. I now use a compounded testosterone cream that has helped me immensely, and I am able to feel again like a young woman.
I would be lost without these compounds. They are essential to my life. Please do not prevent me from my lifelines.
Thank you.
