I had a complete hysterectomy at the age of 32 due to Stage 4 endometriosis. Because of the endo - I ended up having, in addition to the complete hysterectomy, a partial bowl resection, left ureter replacement and a nephrectomy of my left kidney. I was unable to save an egg to save my chance in hopes to become a mom. Without the bioidentical hormone therapy, I would not be as healthy as I am today and as a female all aspects of being a female (skin, hair, etc..) and quality of life would have been severely impacted if I had to go straight into "full menopause" at such a young age. PLEASE FDA do not take away the remaining awesome years from me. I have already experienced enough emotional and physical trauma. My hormones are what keeps me feeling like a "female" and normal.
