I am 34 years old and have gone through menopause already. Prior to this I have tried multiple synthetic hormones and birth control over the years, my body did not tolerate any of them that I tried (different brands, different levels and methods). They all caused extreme symptoms; nausea/vomiting, significant personality changes, bleeding every day of the month, etc. Enough that my doctor and I decided that I should not take them. But then I went through menopause early and have been on bioidentical hormones since we figured it out. I feel so much better since starting them, my life can go on with me feeling like myself again. For my health I need to have hormone replacement therapy for many more years, but if these hormones were taken away from me I would be greatly affected. Taking synthetic hormones is not a viable option for me. These hormones are individualized to what my body needs, please don't let anyone take that away from me and all of the other women out there whose lives are improved by using them. Thank you for listening to people's stories.
