“I started to notice that I was not quite feeling like myself...”

I started to notice that I was not quite feeling like myself. I was very irritable, being very short with my family, having hot flashes at night and therefore not sleeping well. I typically am not an over emotional person, however, I was noticing that I could cry at almost anything! On top of all of this my periods were becoming more frequent, happening more like every 21 days instead of 28 to 30 days (which was normal for me in years past). So, I went to my provider, told them of all of my issues and well how I was just not liking myself/my actions towards others, etc. We did blood panels and a saliva test to determine that I was low on progesterone (all other labs were normal). We started compounded progesterone because it is closer to what my body makes and I feel more comfortable using a more natural approach. With my treatment of compounded progesterone, I have noticed I am no longer short with my family...my fuse has become much longer! I am able to sleep better at night with no hot flashes. My periods have went back to normal. This is life changing not only for myself but for my family as well. I am no longer super short with my kids. I feel more comfortable with not having a period every three weeks, this also has helped with being able to be more intimate with my husband. I can honestly say this has been a life changer, please do not take the accessibility of this away from not only me but for the sake of my family as well.

Hear their stories. Protect their own words. Protect their access to compounded medicines.

On this page, we can only touch on the data that demonstrates the importance of compounded medicines to the lives of millions of people in this country. While the decision to take this vital therapy from patients and physicians might be profitable for big pharmaceutical companies, it will be disastrous for the millions of patients that those same pharmaceutical companies cannot serve!

We encourage the appropriate committees in both the House and Senate to hold hearings on this critical issue.
