I began bioidentical HRT at the suggestion of my OBGYN, after I completed a saliva analysis. These results suggested to my doctor that I could be helped with my symptoms of being premenopausal. In fact, the creams did decrease my symptoms. I have continued on different forms of this therapy for 20 years. Of course, I have continued to monitor what level of HRT therapy is right for me at different times in my life. I believe that this level of individualized care has aided me in being as healthy and functional as I now am. I have heard many stories from my patients who have either used non-bioidentical pills and/or pellets. I feel fortunate to have doctors that understand the value of this form of treatment/supplementation.
