I took small dosages of compounded progesterone for about a year during perimenopause then added compounded bi-estrogen after menopause. It has been a safe, bioidentical, natural method for this tough life transition, for both my physical and mental balance. I do not like taking any drug for various reasons- as many would agree, but I am thankful to have the option to choose with my doctor what is best for me.
I implore the FDA to leave bioidentical hormones alone.
