I was prescribed a compounded non-hormonal vaginal cream to treat vaginal dryness. Its primary ingredient is hyaluronic acid with vitamin E and vitamin A. It has worked wonderfully and I hope to use it from now on. No pain during intercourse anymore.

“After a hysterectomy in my early 40's, I was prescribed Prem...”

After a hysterectomy in my early 40's, I was prescribed Premarin. I had no problems for a few years, then began to have hot flashes and night sweats, with some mood swings. My doctor then had my hormones checked, and prescribed topical hormone therapy. It made all the difference. No more flashes or sweats. I am now 84 years old, and continuing with the therapy. People usually think that I am much younger. I'm active and healthy. My prescription has been adjusted from time to time. I would not ever want to stop using it.

“I was in a bad place, suffering from anxiety and not sleepin...”

I was in a bad place, suffering from anxiety and not sleeping. I was edgy and had major headaches. I went six months feeling like life was ending for me. My doctor tried the HRT pills but they made me extremely sick; I lost 35 pounds in six weeks. She took me off all meds. 4 weeks later, she prescribed progesterone creme. It was a game changer. I am sleeping better, eating better and suffering less anxiety. Life has been much better using a more natural creme that goes through my skin rather than passing through my liver. Please consider these things before taking away a good thing for me.

“Compounded bioidentical hormone therapy is a safe and highly...”

Compounded bioidentical hormone therapy is a safe and highly effective alternative to the one size fits all patented drugs from the pharmaceutical industry that often contain uniquely toxic components such as progestins. cBHT has helped me maintain my health and I can highly recommend this approach. Perhaps pharmaceutical companies should try to offer similar products rather than seeking to take away cBHT that works so well for so many of us.

I cannot take mainstream prescribed hormone therapy. I get migraine headaches when I take them and I've tried every delivery method. I can only take compounded medications because they can be formulated for my sensitivities. They make a huge difference in the quality of my life and I cannot imagine life without them.

“There is just no way I can function without a miracle from G...”

There is just no way I can function without a miracle from God without these hormones. I have tried synthetic and they put me in a mental tailspin. I have been able to reduce my level of SSRI (although I still need some) and help keep me at a healthy weight otherwise I am extremely underweight and unhealthy without them. Taking these hormones away would be a travesty to my mental and physical health. I beg you to consider the testimonies that come to you regarding how important these hormones are to women who are struggling more than the "average" woman with pre, current, and post menopause.

The symptoms of menopause were driving me crazy, which in turn was causing me to drive my husband crazy. I researched several options and tried several over the counter symptom ease, but nothing helped all the time. I finally decided that it was worth the cost to try the cBHT. It took a while for the relief to get here, but after about three months, I started noticing a difference. My night sweats went away, I started having fewer bathroom trips during the night, and my mood swings stopped. Best part is I am finally sleeping through the whole night. Also, have more energy and starting to show signs of weight loss. I have not noticed any bad side effects. I started March 2020 so have been on them almost a year now.

“I started cBHT just over a year ago in January 2020. I was ...”

I started cBHT just over a year ago in January 2020. I was 51 and struggling with menopausal symptoms. I am a nurse and was having trouble concentrating at work, and my stamina for work was nil. I have always been active and exercise, but it was not helping me. I was gaining weight, losing muscle, and still having sleep problems after daily exercise. I would barely get to sleep and wake up at 2 a.m. for hours. I had been to gynecologists about female dryness and libido issues, along with the above mentioned symptoms. I was told that there was nothing short of synthetic hormones that would help me. I eat whole foods, try to ingest only what will benefit my body - I was concerned about the synthesized drugs that I would take if I chose this therapy. After much research, I found a cBHT provider who changed the outlook of my future. I started receiving implanted pellets and taking cBHT progesterone and have not felt better in five years. I have energy, my thinking is clear, and my memory is better. I have been able to gain back some muscle mass. My partner and I both are so happy with the physical and emotional changes that I have experienced with cBHT. The thought of this therapy being taken from me sends chills through me. I finally, after five years, have my life back. This is my choice. It works, for me, and for so many others.

I have been taking the hormone in troche form for the past nine months.The quality of my sleep, my mood and overall well-being has immensely improved since I started taking the hormones. I wish I had started five years earlier. My health was rapidly declining, I could not sleep. As a result my entire day was messed up. I had terrible hot flashes, my mood swings were out of control and affecting my marriage. I wasn't functioning well. Thanks to hormone therapy my overall health has improved among other aspects of my life. Right now I think of my life before and after hormone and I remember about my life before the hormones as a terrible ordeal.
