I followed medical advice after a lifetime of menstrual problems and had my last ovary removed at age 40. cBHT has produced a quality of life I had never experienced before. Pain, headaches and moods have resolved.

I had a complete hysterectomy at age 39 and was put on a low dose hormone patch. After developing blood clots in my lungs, the only form of HRT I was allowed was vaginal cream, initially being Premarin. Without HRT, I had been suffering from dryness, painful sex, frequent UTI's and severe vaginitis. For years, even with Premarin, I still continued to suffer from severe periodic vaginal burning which made me miserable and often unable to sleep. I switched to Vagifem and Estrace but still experienced the horrible symptoms. Finally I was told I may be allergic to ingredients in the base of these products (alcohol & glycerin, for example). I found a compounding pharmacy which gave me an Estradiol cream in a hypoallergenic base and my vaginal burning finally disappeared. I had my life back. I need this product to stay comfortable, keep UTI's at bay, and hopefully continue to avoid needing surgery for prolapse which has developed over the years. Until I can buy a vaginal hormone cream through Walgreens, etc., that is hypoallergenic and doesn't contain ingredients like alcohol and glycerin, I need to have this resource from my compounding pharmacy in order to avoid health problems which would be very detrimental to my overall health. I implore the FDA to not impose restrictions on compounding pharmacies which would deny me a product I need and cannot obtain elsewhere.

I struggled with infertility for years and had to use infertility drugs to get pregnant all three times. I also was on many forms of birth control from my freshman year of high school until I got married. After the birth of my children, I was a complete mess. My moods were unstable. I could no longer wear a tampon as it was too painful and so was sex. I believe a ton of women would benefit from hormones as I think when providers hear unstable moods the first thing they think of is antidepressants or other medications to prescribe. I have been on hormones since 2010 and I will not be able to go off of them. I refuse to go back to that horrible way I felt. My current regime has been perfect with no side effects at all. Please keep cBHT available as my quality of life depends on it.

I had a hysterectomy and wanted to help my health by a personalized med. Not a one size fits all. It has helped with hot flashes and has stabilized my mood and concentration.

I spent several years, and many doctor appointments seeking relief from chronic itching. Finally, my OBGYN prescribed hormone therapy compound for me and I finally have relief. I can't describe how much it has helped me. So much relief!

cBHT helped me go from barely surviving to thriving. It took away debilitating symptoms, without the need for costly surgery and improved my overall health.

I would NOT be able to function without bioidentical hormones! I couldn't sleep, couldn't lose weight, and my emotions were all over the place. I have a life now since I have been taking them. I also have heart problems and these hormones have helped that also!

The bioidentical hormones I have compounded monthly have literally saved my marriage. Prior to using it, I was unable to sleep due to aggravating, nagging night sweats. I have had absolutely no side effects from using it and I would be lost without the cream.

I went through several prescribed pharmaceutical HRT drugs that did not help me. I struggled with them for a couple of years. I decided to try a compounded formula and everything fell into place and my body is in balance with great results. I don't like to take prescription drugs due to sometimes long list of side effects. I prefer to take homeopathic over anything else. I take homeopathic for other health issues to avoid harmful side effects. Please don't take our right away to use these methods.

Since I took birth control when I was getting married, it depleted all of my hormones. It's been over ten years and I finally found the right doctors that were able to get my hormone creams from pharmacy solutions. My thyroid meds and over the counter supplements have truly been a lifesaver for me!

My night sweats have decreased.

Before I started using cBHT, I was experiencing multiple daily hot flashes that were interrupting my sleep and making me unable to function normally. It was difficult to concentrate at work and I was getting depressed. I was apprehensive regarding hormone replacement having heard about ties to cancer, but having an option like cBHT, where dosage was specifically tailored to my needs, has been a godsend. Although hot flashes still occur, I am able to get a good night's sleep and function like a normal human being, instead of a sleep-deprived zombie. I'm also comforted knowing I am not taking any more medication (as with a pre-packaged pharmaceutical hormone replacement) than my body needs.

cBHT is custom made for me which has helped me avoid any side effects and enhanced my life as I age from strong bones, great energy, an outward appearance that does not reflect my age and very good health.

Due to my plethora of symptoms, my doctor ran several tests on me to rule out various diseases. In the end, it was all hormonal. I cannot describe what a relief to have bioidentical hormone cream available to me. My painful symptoms are gone. A huge benefit to me is that the topical cream gets into my system. My gut does not absorb nutrients or medicines the way it should. If I did not have the bioidentical hormone cream, my life would be a mess. Please don't take it away!

I had to have a total hysterectomy when I was 32. I was on a FDA pill form that did NOTHING to stop my hot flashes and night sweats from surgical menopause. I was not going to take a pill made out of horse urine either. My doctor advised me to try natural compound hormonal replacement. It has been life-changing for me. I will never go back to that horse urine pill again. If you are a woman reading this and suffer from the side effects of surgical total hysterectomy, you will understand why you will go to what works for your body. I know what works for my body, please DON'T take away from me what works. I do not want to go back into the hell of the side effects again. I've been on the compounded hormonal replacement for 23 years. Now that should show it works!

I started taking bioidentical hormones about four years ago with early onset menopause, and I continue to take them now for menopausal hormone replacement. The positive effect on my health and my relationships with others is huge. I was specifically looking for a natural homeopathic solution and I found it in cBHT. The FDA needs to stop interfering with women's health.

Before using cBHT, I struggled every day with being emotional, hot flashes day and night, unorganized thinking, intimacy issues, and exhaustion. Once I started the therapy I got back to my old self, feeling much better, sleeping better, focused at work, and back to a normal intimate relationship with my husband. This therapy has had a very positive effect on my life.

I experienced UTI's after a hysterectomy about five times a year. The urgent care people already knew me by name! A Urologist prescribed me compound cream and I did not have a UTI for over a year. This has greatly enhanced the quality of my life.

Using cBHT has evened out my monthly moods swings, decreased my anxiety and made me feel like my old self again!
