I was unable to tolerate birth control pills as hormone replacement because I have a history of migraines and blood clots when I take them. They contain medroxyprogesterone, which tends to cause those issues. But my bone density was so poor that I started on compounded estrogen and progesterone and I have had no problems. Not only has it improved my bone density significantly, but also my sleep quality and clarity of mind. I have great confidence in my compounding pharmacist. They are very knowledgable. Please do not impede their ability to treat people like me.
