Ive been using HRT compound since December 2015 and it has been wonderful! Before, I had many hot flashes, was moody and miserable. I did not want to take hormones in pill form because of the side effects, such as weight gain) and this is a perfect solution. I will continue to use this as long as my doctor prescribes it. My insurance does not cover this, but I pay out of pocket and it is still worth it. I have recommended this to many of my friends.
