Pellets became unavailable so I transitioned to IM weekly. It was too painful so I transitioned to transdermal dose cream.

These applications have contributed to saving my daughter's life. Literally! She has been on a course of psychoactive meds for nearly three decades and they stopped working after doing so much harm to her body - with the addition of topicals and suppositories (bypassing the GI tract) the improvement has been stunning. The thoughts of suicide and self harm are almost gone!

Replacing my hormones is helping my brain, bones and quality of life.

I've been using bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for 2 years to deal with the many symptoms of perimenopause. I know for sure that it has greatly minimized my symptoms and improved my quality of life. I have energy throughout the day and no longer need to nap. I sleep better through the night. My mood is actually much better, presumably because I don't wake up exhausted and I actually feel like doing things during the day. Please don't restrict people's access to BHRT. It's very important to keep compounding pharmacies available to all who rely on them for BHRT and other medications that meet our unique needs.

Without the cream I use I would have constant irritation. Also it would be more difficult to be intimate with my partner.

I have been using bioidentical hormone replacement for 16 years now. My formulas are tailor made for me. Only what I need to replace and keep in balance. I have had no adverse effects and am very pleased with my compounded medications. I did not want to use a one size fits all drug made for the masses. Please don't let Big Pharma have their way and discontinue the compounded medications that have been a big part of my health and well being. I am 66 years old and very active. I feel great. Thank you.

It is a wonderful alternative to many hormonal imbalance issues and is invalluable to keep as a resource. PLEASE- access to all cBHT must be preserved.

I became an educated consumer after much reading which started with a very short book I found in my mother's house that she had read and highlighted more than 1/3 of the book on very relevant information that holds true in today's readings from non mainstream doctors, labs, professionals and the more enthusiastic health and wellness individuals who are concerned with aging and OPTIMAL health. My mom was born in 1925 and she was reading about how, when and where hormones worked. She was reading on the natural sources for getting these hormones from plant sources which have been used throughout Europe and has shown to be more advanced in their natural approach to wellness without using chemical pharmaceuticals that are NOT compatible with the human body. I repeat..... Europe has been so far ahead in their use of natural ingredients for optimal health and wellness. Big Pharma is in business to make money. They are protected by the FDA. I want the choice to make my own decision on what goes into my body, not what the pharmaceuticals promote to their sales force who in turn promote to the physicians and others. So after much reading and talking to sources, I decided to do a trial run with bioidentical hormones. That was almost eight years ago. The results have been bone density going from osteopenia to normal. Regaining of muscle mass. Total stopping of bladder leakage without ever doing Keigel exercises. Return of my natural vaginal lubrication, better quality of skin and a great outlook for the future just to name a few things. I am an advocate to anyone who shows interest in a better quality of life. I am older than 50 and younger than 100. Maybe somewhere in between.....take a guess. The quest to find someone knowledgeable and understanding in this field will be the challenge. Always make the important choices for yourself. YOU ARE WORTH IT and you will not be sorry.

I have an extremely painful condition (intersistal cystitus/BPS (bladder pain syndrome). Getting a UTI takes the pain from a four to a 10 very quickly. I had one UTI in my life before perimenopause. Once that started, I was getting them all the time. Because of the pain, I spent most of 2019 in agony. Once my doctor started me on the compounded hormone cream, I have not had agonizing pain due to healthier tissue (no UTI's or or any other issues that has made BPS unbearable). I can confidently say that without the compounded cream my quality of life would be zero! This is a very personal problem and I would not choose to share it in cyberspace if I wasn't desperate to keep this treatment an option. Please please do not take it away!

I was in severe unrelenting pain that greatly impacted my life. All currently non-compounded formulas contain alcohol or something similar that just exacerbated my pain. The compounded formula allows my prescriber to customize my treatment so I can be a positive and productive role model for my children and in my work environment. PLEASE continue to allow customized compounded prescriptions!

I have been using cBHT for 20 years, beginning in my early 50's, post-menopause, to deal with the 40 hot flashes I'd been having every day for several years. It saved my life, my sanity, and I believe has contributed to mental and physical health, youthfulness, vigor, clarity ever since. I have never had a single negative effect. I use a topical cream application, so I know there are no liver toxicity issues or other bodily tissue issues. For "fun", I tried stopping about five years ago just to see if I'd feel any different: within 2 weeks, I experienced hot flashes and palpable brain fog and loss of mental focus! I would be devastated if I had to stop using my HRT. Thank you.

It made me feel normal again. I had pre-maturely gone through menopause at the age of 34. I was lucky enough to be helped by a very smart, caring woman by the name of Beth Moran, who's put up with me for 3 years. Please don't take my cBHT away.

It helped with lichen scleroses and somewhat with vaginal atrophy. Helped my overall well-being.

I've taken compounded HRT for many years. I started out with both estradiol and progesterone until my hysterectomy. Now I take estradiol drops. I don't feel as well on the non-compounded hormones or I would be taking them as it would be covered by insurance and cheaper.

I started having a very hard time sleeping in my early 40's. Sleep is everything. Lack of proper sleep has been shown to advance Alzheimer's disease, affect insulin levels, increase anxiety, and affect the body's ability to heal. I refuse to take any FDA drugs for sleep that have clearly dangerous side effects of making me want to kill myself or other people. My hormones have given me back my ability to sleep peacefully at night. I have not experienced any ill effects of my hormone levels being at a healthier level than that of a typical 53 year old woman who would normally be overweight, be pre-diabetic, have nasty mood swings, horrendous night sweats, and have their hair falling out. It's disgusting to me that the FDA wants to eliminate my ability to choose a safe alternative to the myriad of dangerous drugs that I would have to take to try and duplicate what my natural hormones already do, and safely.

For 15+ years and counting I have been on E and P. My heart, brain, bones, etc. have not declined but increased in health as per my lab tests. I would encourage all women post-menopause to use these Rx instead of heart meds, brain meds, and bone meds. Natural therapy is the way to go. Wiley Protocol is my method of health. I am on no other meds at 71 years old.

After suffering with perimenopause symptoms for six years, my doctor prescribed bioidentical hormones. Within two weeks I felt like me again. I actually felt like a better version of myself. The symptoms lessened and finally disappeared, allowing me to focus on my family, work and personal life. The symptoms were so severe that panic attacks made me not want to leave my bed. Bioidentical hormones have changed my life for the better.

I had a bad dry vaginal condition - itching, skin cracking, and some bleeding. I use a very small amount of cream just on that area nightly and I am fine!

I began hormone replacement therapy over 30 years ago post hysterectomy and removal of ovaries. I was on high doses of premarin for many years. When I ceased the premarin my menapausal symptoms returned in spades - severe hot flashes, inability to sleep and to focus. I began using bioiedentical hormone creams 10 years ago and all symptoms abated. I am currently taking estradiol and testosterone cream as well as progesterone troches. I am healthy and feel totally normal. I feel the compounded hormones are eay to use, easy to adjust doses to minimum requirements and healthier.
