I have used compounded hormones to help balance my menopausal and post-menopausal symptoms for almost 10 years now. They have been successful at keeping the uncomfortable symptoms to a minimum and allowed me to be a rational wife and mom as I navigated through this difficult time of life. I started menopause at 40...early...which was not easy for me to accept as I was hoping to have another child. These compounded hormones have kept me sane and managed to keep me balanced and sane.
