“Post Menopausal Testosterone”
After menopause, my sex drive was so low it was causing a lot of depression and anxiety. I knew that some testosterone would assist and not wanting to take too much, my Dr measured my testosterone and then the compounding pharmacy was able to generate the appropriate amount. This has done WONDERS for me!
Compounding allows for the correct, custom dosage. It’s so important to me.
“cBHT has made a huge difference in my quality of life.”
I spent way too long feeling miserable—body temperature swings, severe mood swings, exhaustion, weight gain, bloating, depression, nonexistent sex drive, hair loss, insomnia, and the list goes on. Since my doctor put me on cBHT, I feel human again. I feel like myself for the first time in a very long time. I feel very safe taking cBHT as well. My physician and his staff are knowledgeable and helpful. They monitor my hormone levels and adjust them accordingly. I am also a home care pharmacist and I know my way around scientific research. I dedicated many hours to reading up on cBHT (almost every article was from Europe or other countries because the United States seems to be way behind in this therapeutic area) before I decided to try it for myself. I determined that not only was properly prescribed and monitored cBHT safe, it was effective. Four years later, I am living proof that cBHT is both safe AND very effective.

“Relief with compounded BHT”
I suffered for many years with heavy periods and hot flashes. I went to a OB/GYN who prescribed a drug - that only made issues worse. I finally found a great Dr who prescribed some cBHT and it changed my life. I no longer suffer from the hot flashes or any of the terrible menopause issues. Thanks to cBHT.

As someone who has a blood clot in disorder and a quadruple MTHF are mutation having BHRT available to me is the difference between a good quality of life and a poor quality of life as there’s no substitute for this product.

“My story”
I have been on compound hormones for awhile. They work so much better then the hormone supplements I h as be been on prior. The supplements were not able to keep my hormone levels even. I feel much better having used compound hormones. Please do not make it so I can no longer purchase. They are not covered by my insurance and I pay 100% out of pocket.
Thank you for your consideration.

“I have used compounded hormones for 25 years”
I began using compounded HRT implants when I became perimenaposel. These hormones greatly helped in relieving night sweats and insomnia. After a hysterectomy I was prescribed a big pharmacy estrogen and had horrible side effects. I returned to using compounded HRT and have been using them ever since. They greatly contribute to my quality of life by eliminating the symptoms of menopause, contribute to a healthy sex life, and maintaining energy.
In addition, I use compounded hormones for my hypothyroidism. I again tried the big solution with poor results.
Please quit trying to solve an issue that does not exist! These compounded hormones are safe, effective and have been proven so with decades of use.

“Compounded hormones helped with premature menopause.”
I suffered from hot flashes, night sweats, poor sleep and was a mess. I entered early menopause at age 43 and was told I was too young for this to happen. It was happening and my knowledge as a pharmacist led me to bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. I’m not sure where I would be without it in my life and I’m thankful for my knowledge about compounded hormones. I feel that being without estrogen, progesterone and testosterone at such an early age could lead to health problems later in life. I’m thankful to have hormones to protect my heart, bone and brain health. I’m also thankful for the knowledge and opportunity to help my patients choose the hormone therapy that is best for them. We all know that one size does not fit all.
“Estriol suppository manages vaginal dryness”
Vaginal atrophy is EXTREMELY common (as high as 85% per the National Institute of Health) in post-menopausal women like myself. I have been very successfully using compounded estriol vaginal suppository to manage the dryness caused by my vaginal atrophy. I am grateful for this product. And so is my partner.

“Compound hormones are safer”
I am wanting to express the NEED for compound hormone therapy to continue. It is a much safer option for us with very little to no side effects like other options have. It works much better with my body and is the ONLY option that works. Please continue compound medicine for the greater good !
“Bio Identical Hormones Give Quality of Life to Women”
I have safely and successfully used bio identical HRT for 12 years. It eliminated my brain fog, allowed me to get a good nights sleep, returned sexual desire to me and eliminated hot flashes. No side effects. No sleeping pills. Just blood work every year to make sure all of my hormone levels are within healthy range, adjustments made occasionally when needed and I appreciate them tremendously. I have quality of life without my hormones dropping off a cliff. Like men do naturally since their hormone levels drop slowly, not rapidly. Women's health is understudied, and too often not bothered with. Send your time getting this quality of life saving treatment to all women and getting it covered under insurance. Stop messing with things that help women.

“CBHT is a lifesaver”
I have been on cBHT since I was 45 years old. I am now 65 but told I look much younger. I believe that is due to the cBHT. I suffered from severe PMS for years and years. That is one reason I researched and found a Dr that did this type of hormone therapy. This cBHT has been a lifesaver for me. I was SICK. After months of talking, bloodwork to get levels adjusted, and all around care, I have sort of breezed through menopause and I feel good. I have energy, I go to the gym, I am not overweight. I give all the credit to cBHT. Please don’t take it away. PLEASE
“Customized Prescriptions”
With a sensitivity to Propylene Glycol, I am extremely enthusiastic to compounding prescriptions, which can be made into a more gentle and appealing base. With compounding, I am assured of a nonabrasive base compound made to my doctor's Rx instructions. In other words, compounding Rx offers personalized prescriptions while following strict guidelines as written by doctors. If my Rx was in pill form and a sensitivity arose, there would be another "one-size fits all" pill prescribed to relieve any sensitivity, increasing other reactions and, more than likely, more prescribed pills or liquid forms of medication. Compounding is secure, adjustable to each individual and a safe, personal choice for everyone. My Rx is an exquisite and gentle cream compound which keeps me succulent, flexible and libidinous, well into my 70's.
“Envision a world w/hundreds of thousands of hormonally imbalanced women”
I suffered from erratic mood swings, suicidal feelings, severe depression, debilitating anxiety,, bizarre menstrual cycles (which can cause infertility) chronic fatigue, hair loss and a dizzying array of other symptoms, Ive seen doctors often. I was, for decades, prescribed a slew of pharmaceutical medications to address these issues (if doctors could even FIND the problem), none of which worked. In a desperate attempt to find what was REALLY wrong, I tried a natural health practitioner who, very strangely, was the FIRST doctor in over a decade to think to test my hormones before throwing me on pointless birth control medications to regulate my cycle. What they found was that I was estrogen dominant and my progesterone was virtually non-existent. (Hence going without my period for months. My doctor prescribed bioidentical progesterone to treat my hormone imbalance (hormones that are chemically identical to what your body produces rather than some synthetic junk with horrendous side effects). My quality of life was improved DRASTICALLY. My decades long depression had completely disappeared, I was no longer yelling at everyone around me for using the good towels or leaving the butter knife out; I could concentrate at work and finally had enough energy so that I could actually start working like I used to. My hormones haven’t been completely balanced yet, but they are very close. Banning bioidentical hormones would cause all of my symptoms to return to how I was before I was taking them and leave me without an acceptable alternative.
Recently, after being prescribed a pharmaceutical medication, a side effect I later found out was lowering testosterone, I needed to be prescribed testosterone replacement therapy as a result- throwing another wrench in my hormones. Big pharmaceutical companies are more than willing to hand us things that imbalance hormones, but want to take away the solution
“I was having hot flashes, mild depression, and major sexual issues.”
After having blood work down my gynecologist was able to make a recommendation to a compounding Pharmacist. The Pharmacist then worked with me and my symptoms until we found the right compound for me. It was a gift from God!! I felt normal again! I would recommend this to everyone who is struggling with pre-menopause and menopause symptoms.
“The Compound Hormones Improved my Life”
For a number of years I have been using Compound Hormones and it has made my life much better. Prior to using them, I had numerous symptoms which often caused confusion, unable to think clearly, and feeling distanced from everyone. My OBGYN physician suggested I start on Compound Hormones. It made a world of difference. I am now in my 70s and I recently weaned myself off of them because I thought I didn't need them anymore. I found that I was confused, not clearly thinking, and feeling like I wasn't myself. I restarted the same prescription I had used and within days, I was doing much better. Please don't take away the only product that makes me feel and think better. I can't imagine having a life where I'm appearing to have dementia when the medicine helps me in many ways.

“I had a hysterectomy and have been on cBHT hormones for 10 years.”
I had a hysterectomy at 42 and have been on cBHT hormones for approximately ten years. They are so much better for me, healthier and enabling me to live a more active life without extreme mood swings and anger. I am a "happy camper". Please don't take these away from me!

“I tried all the standard FDA approved hormones...”
I tried all the standard FDA approved hormones for over THREE YEARS and they did not help. My specially compounded hormones are a lifesaver. Big pharma can go make money off something else. I should be able to decide how to treat my own body. I am an educated professional who consulted many highly regarded doctors before comng to my treatment conclusions. Compounded bioidentical hormones are what makes me feel normal. I don't feel depressed, fat and old, like most of my contemporaries. They don't use compounded hormones because they are simply afraid.
I will use these hormones the rest of my life. If I need to go to other countries for them, I will. Don't take away something so incredibly beneficial to so many women. They will have to pry my hormones out of my cold dead hands one day.

“I have been on cBHT 14 years and plan on using it the rest of my life.”
When I first decided to take cBHT I had flushing, gained weight, kept waking up at night and experiencing vaginal dryness. After being on cBHT all of the above were resolved. The flushing stopped, I lost weight, slept through the night and the vaginal dryness went away. I have been on it for 14 years and plan on using the rest of my life.
