I have great difficulty tolerating pharmaceutical medications. This hormone therapy cream that I have used for almost two decades now has greatly enhanced my quality of life. It is golden! My prescription is as specialized as my individual needs. It gets tweaked frequently so that I can be feeling my absolute best. I am not opposed to pharmaceutical medications; my husband works for a pharmaceutical company, however there is also a great need for this compounded hormone therapy. There is not a one size fits all when it comes to hormones. This compounded therapy allows an individual approach. I am the ONLY one that is on my prescription dose! That is how specialized it is and how very necessary this compounded hormone therapy is! My life quality would definitely not be the same without it.

Bioidentical hormone replacement has balanced the hormones in my body to the healthy levels. The only kind of replacement I would consider is bioidentical replacement. FDA and NASEM please go away and STOP trying to control every part of my life. Leave me alone and stop trying to regulate things that do not need regulating. It's not broken so don't try to FIX it. GO AWAY!!!!

cBHT has been quite beneficial in giving me a better quality of life, both physically and emotionally. Before using this form of hormone replacement, I had been a victim of mood swings, hot flashes, weight gain, low libido, lethargy, and severe brain fog. Now thanks to cBHT, I'm no longer the victim of my hormones. I am mood swing and hot flash free, and my other symptoms have lessened significantly. I would not want to live my life without these compounded hormones or the pharmacists that compound them. These pharmacists take time to talk to you personally and create a plan specifically for you based on your bloodwork and the exhibiting symptoms. Before cBHT, I was treated as a one-size-fits-all approach; this is not something I want to return to.

I started using cBHT (testosterone and progesterone) because my sex drive and quality of life was suffering. It gave me back my life. I have since had a hysterectomy and after six weeks, the results of zero estrogen started taking a huge toll on me and my health. I added estrogen to my pellet therapy and feel better than I did in my 30's. I will be 50 in two months! I will not use any synthetic hormones and will suffer horribly if I can't get the cBHT.

I went to a specialist that deals with hypothyroidism because of my heath problems. He was able to determine, through testing, what my deficiencies were. Going to a compounding pharmacy was the best way to go. Taking only one pill instead of two; also, the doctors are able to easily adjust the dosage as I progress through treatment, which helps immensely.

I started using the bioidentical hormones because I had zero energy, a bad attitude for no reason, zero enthusiam, and I felt like I could not do anything. I was brain foggy. I could not make decisions. I felt like I did not have a purpose. As long as I can afford to take the hormones, I will be able to function like a productive member of society. I have tried but cannot funtion without using them.

I started bioidentical hormones at age 60, after 8 years of Premarin (horse urine), to correct the negative side effects of elevating blood pressure, swollen ankles, headaches, etc. I needed support of my cardiovascular system and mental health, as I was dealing with a spouse who suffered a stroke at age 52. I was his full-time caregiver for 29 years. He passed at age 81 in January of 2019. I have had and still am having sleep and anxiety issues from the stress that lingers. My natural hormone troche remains essential to maintaining my health and well-being. I own and help my daughter in building the main, essential high-tech laundramat in our town, in spite of Covid-19. During my husband's stroke episode, we gave him cBHT also to mitigate the affects of medications and treatments to help maintain his quality of life. He was cognant and communicative to the end. I can't live without this compounded prescription for hormones, as well as the compounded thyroid prescription. I remain a useful, functioning member of society and my family at age 83.

I'm only willing to take the bioidentical hormones, so if they weren't available to me, I'd be without the hormones at all. The bioidentical hormones I take are nothing less than a miracle for me. After years of mental insanity (no exaggeration) due to hormone imbalance, I'm finally living a sane and happy life.

I love the fact that compounds can be changed. Mine needed more of certain things and now I can see they are working!

I never worry about concerns people have when they take Premerin.

I've tried several different methods of controlling hormone levels: Androgel, shots monthly or twice monthly, and now this amazing cream from RC Compounding. The only treatment that has given me truly consistent levels of testosterone, which never exceed normal, is the cream from my compounder. There is never a spike nor a valley of extremely low testosterone. I maintain a level of about 245-325 and never go through any of the inconsistent mood swings or energy levels.

My hormone cream allows me to feel normal, healthy and live life to the fullest.

It has improved my hormone imbalance and is affordable. I could not fill my prescription without a compounding option. I would be unable to fill it because it is prohibitively expensive. I would have to go without my medication and without having compounding as an option, my quality of life would be severely impacted.

My life has improved with the help of compounded hormone therapy. I cannot deal with injections or implanted hormone treatments. The compounded cream has been very useful. I would like to continue the convenience and success of these compounded hormones.

I began cBHT about 12 years ago. At the time, I was in my mid-50's, a couple of years into menopause. I had struggles with depression starting in my 40s, and menopause made the depression worse. Severe sweats and hot flashes kept me from sleeping. Although I was concerned because of a family history of breast cancer, I decided to try hormone therapy because my quality of life was so bad. I first tried FDA-approved hormones. My mood and hot flashes improved a little, but the doctor prescribing the medications quit her practice, and I had to find a new doctor. The new doctor I found used cBHT. She was able to customize dosages in a way that was life-changing for me. My depression disappeared. I slept soundly. I was actually happy to be alive. It was amazing. Because of concerns about the breast cancer history in my family, my doctor felt strongly that I should decrease my estrogen dosage and rely more heavily on estriol. My depression returned. I tolerated the depression for many months, but eventually decided that my quality of life was worth the risk of breast cancer. I gave my doctor written assurance that I understood the risk, she increased my dosage, and the depression disappeared. A short time after that, because I had moved, I changed doctors. The new doctor was not comfortable with my estrogen prescription and switched me to biest. I lost some joy in life, gained some weight, but he kept the dose high enough that I didn't fall back into depression. Then, 4 years ago, I was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer. This was not a surprise given my family history, and there's no way to know if I would have gotten cancer had I not used cBHT. After much research; discussion with my hormone doctor, my surgeon and my oncologist; and a lot of agonizing and tears, I decided to have both breasts removed. My cancer was hormone positive, but I decided to pass on SERMs and to continue cBHT at the lowest dose that would keep me from becoming depressed again. As I explained to my oncologist, I would truly rather die young than live a long life chronically depressed. After my surgery, my doctor and I actually cut the cBHT dose too much, and I against was depressed. He was able to raise the dose just enough to pull me out of depression. It's a compromise dose -- I miss the joie de vive of the higher estrogen dosage, but I'm not depressed, and I feel the lower dose is less risky. I've had no cancer recurrence. As my story illustrates, a big advantage of cBHT is the ability to customize dosage to address individual situations. As my health has change, so has my cBHT. One-size-fits-all would not had addressed my needs. I would also like to add that in the over a decade that I have used cBHT, as well as compounded thyroid medication, I have NEVER had a problem with inconsistencies in quality or dosages. Believe me, if there were changes each time the prescription was filled, I would notice. That has never happened.

I couldn't sleep and was having hot flashes so I started hormone replacement therapy and my sleep normalized. It definitely improved my life.

I have not only been on HRT, but also bioidentical T3T4. I could not take regular estrogen as it made me sick. I have no thyroid and need T3 besides T4. This is the only form that can regulate me properly. It makes me feel like a new person.

I have quit having night sweats and mood swings.

Without this therapy I was greatly depressed because my hormones were not right. I was just laying on the couch and not able to move most days. This therapy allowed me to be normal.
