I took cBHT when I was in my late 20's. I am currently 60 years old. I first took cBHT to regulate my period. I had endometriosis and had one miscarriage from an ectopic pregnancy and could not conceive again. I was generally in pain each month from the effects of the endometriosis. I took troches then, to suppress my cycles and help them to become regular. I felt better; the pain went away and I had two successful live births- boys. I did not begin cBHT again until I started into pre-menopausal. I started suppositories for that treatment. I really didn't care for the troche method. The suppository is great. I have been on those for five years. I took them to stop the hot flashes that keep kept awake at night, leaving me totally exhausted. I tried many other things naturally and nothing seemed to work. I needed all the benefits from the estrogen.
