Over seven years ago, I had to have my ovaries, tubes, uterus and cervix removed due to severe medical issues and potential risks of cancer. Thus, the need for hormone replacement therapy. I have pellet treatments four times a year. There are no side effects. The horrible mood swings, hot flashes and night sweats are gone. The mood swings were the worst prior to the surgery and the start of the cBHT. I was horrible to family, friends and co-workers. I work with my doctor and we adjust the hormones as needed. Having access to the pure form of the hormones makes this balancing so much easier; again with no side affects or potential for cancer due to unneeded chemicals that are in other medications. I will never take a pharmaceutical version of hormone therapy.
