United States
In the United States, millions of people depend on compounded medicines to live normal, productive, healthy lives. Their first-hand stories speak directly to the power of this important therapy. As the FDA considers removing access to certain medicines like compounded hormones, their voices must be part of the conversation.

I had very bad menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, couldn't sleep, brain fog). Non-compounded alternatives did not work for me. Believe me I tried, as insurance does not cover compounding. Compounding has afforded my physician to fine tune the exact doses I need. Without this, my quality of life would be extremely poor!

I need a dose that no manufacturer makes. My dosage is halfway between what is available. The quality of my life would be greatly diminished if compounding becomes unavailable. Insurance does not cover what I am taking, but it is worth it for me to have this as an option. Please please do not allow this option to be taken away from me!

Before I started taking the hormone cream, I was getting constant bladder infections. I have had one since I started taking the cream probably close to 8 -10 years ago. I was very dry with intercourse and having pain. The dryness has improved. It also improved my sex life with my husband. Prior to the cream, orgasms were few.
I am very grateful for this type of treatment!

I was having a very hard time getting a full night's sleep, to the point I was struggling getting through the day without napping. I was having a horrible time with my job as I could not focus, I was having disturbing hot flashes with bouts of rage/anger feelings. After just six weeks of treatment, all symptoms have disappeared and I feel normal again.

20+ years ago, I was bleeding uncontrollably, exhausted, and frustrated. Traditional medicine told me a hysterectomy was my only option. With a family history that could have me benefitting from additional years of normal menstruation, I tried hormone replacement. Within a few months, I was feeling great and back to normal. PLUS, I had 15 more years of normal menstruation to help benefit my bones and heart. This therapy has been a godsend. Thank you.

Without BHRT, I would not be able to function, would have lost my job, and I would have experienced tremendous undue physical suffering. My body was extremely sensitive to synthetic hormones and I could not tolerate them. Before BHRT, my pre-menopausal symptoms were so severe, I visited the emergency room approximately 19 times for life threatening symptoms. BHRT gave me my life back. Women deserve choices and options.

Prior to taking the compounded hormone therapy, I was always tired, slept terribly, had severe joint aches and had no vitality for life. The hormone therapy was an enormous benefit for all of the above.

I have been using compounded hormones for almost two years now. A dexa scan, just before I started on them, showed osteoporosis. A follow up dexa 14-15 months later shows enough improvement to take me out of osteoporosis and back to osteopenia. I believe that I will continue to see improvement.

Michigan Wyoming“Having two forms of estrogen compounded together has worked ...”
Having two forms of estrogen compounded together has worked so much better than using the straight estradiol patch. The estradiol in the patch is way too strong for me even at the lowest dose. On the patch, my ovaries ache and throb from developing cysts. The compounded estrogen has a partial mixture of estradiol and a weaker estrogen called estriol. This combination resolves my menopause symptoms without causing ovarian pain and cysts. Please do not take this option away from those of us who depend on a customized compounded prescription.

Prior to using cBHT I would have spotting in between my menstrual cycle several to most days of the month. Since using the cBHT for the last few years, most months I have no spotting. It has truly impacted my life in a very positive way!
