cBHRT allows me to sleep soundly and undisrupted by night sweats and hot flashes that previously kept me from getting a good night's sleep. I feel well rested, able to think more clearly, and I have more energy. As a result, I can function better during the day.

I have suffered from severe symptoms of estrogen dominance for years. After many years of infertility, topical use of bioidentical progesterone shifted my hormones to the point of getting pregnant and having two healthy, smooth pregnancies! Not only did it allow me to conceive and maintain pregnancies, but I was able to eliminate menstrual cramping, paranoid thoughts, mood swings, breast tenderness, etc. Waking up to severe cramps mid-month was a thing of the past as well. About 10 years later my symptoms worsened and I realized my need for progesterone was increasing as my levels began to drop with age (I was 40). I was experiencing heightened anxiety and hypertension, menstrual irregularities, insomnia and irritability. Thankfully, my doctor was able to prescribe me a higher dose of compounded sublingual bioidentical progesterone drops. It was exactly what I needed! It leveled out my moods, made menstruation predictable and easy again, and restored a calmness to my disposition. I would never have used synthetic progesterone. I believe it has negative side effects and would not ever consider it an option. Compounding needed bioidentical hormones can make the difference between life or death for people. Hormonal cancers are rampant, in large part due to the increase in xenoestrogens in our environment. We are creating the perfect storm for hormonal imbalance. This leads to infertility, mental illness, autoimmune issues and cancers among other things. Without access to these natural hormones, in doses that are needed for each individual body, we will be in a dire situation. More women should be using bioidentical hormones. Instead of regulating them, we should be spreading the word far and wide about how much they can help. My mother, who also uses compounded progesterone and estrogen, has struggled with depression and social anxiety for years. After increasing her progesterone, she is depression free and able to interact normally with people. Her paranoid thoughts have gone away. If she stops the progesterone, they return. Compounded hormones are essential to our quality of life!

I overcame major depression. I'm at high risk for osteoporosis, and at 70 my bones are great! I had never been prone to depression, however once I started to go through the change, my mood seemed greatly affected. HRT has given me a great quality of life as I have aged.

I can't take synthetic hormones. They give me horrible, decapacitating migraines! For me, cBHT is the only hope I have at being able to balance my hormones and feel good!

I found cBHT to work better for me than the synthetic hormones I first used, which made my breasts swollen and painful. The BHT lifted my mood, helped my appetite and ended hot flashes and night sweats without any discomfort. It also increased my sex drive. They did NOT make my breasts swollen or painful. I found them mild and tailored to my system. I wouldn't want to go back to the synthetic therapy I first tried.

My bioidentical hormone cream has made a huge difference in my health and quality of life post menopause. I am getting quality sleep. I no longer have hot flashes that impact my ability to perform my job. The best thing about compounding is that it is tailored to your symptoms. It's not one size fits all like the various precription drugs. This has allowed my doctors to tweak my precription when needed over the last 15 years.

I have Hoshimotos disease. Doctors put me on a prescription that even over time did not help. In fact I got worse. I finally discovered compounded medications and have never looked back. Doctors generally don't want to support my compounded medicines so I had to look for one who did. I am the patient and I know how I feel and function... I would think that the medical field would support the patient, and listen to how they feel. When they say they feel better, believe them. We know. Without compounded hormone therapy, my life would be very different and I would not be as strong, active or involved in all the things I do in my life. I am grateful to have compounded hormones and grateful for my excellent provider! They are the best!

The cream I am using has given me my energy back. It has created a balance in my medical history and my personal life. Please keep compounding pharmacies. We need them.

cBHT saved my sanity! It brought back balance to my quality of life, as well as physical and emotional balance without side effects. As a female, I felt like my quality of life as well as sex life had diminished until I began my cBHT. My skin and muscle tone and positive outlook brought back my life and sex life! I depend on my compounds.

I initially had formal testing because of my mood disorder and the current medications were not working as well. It turns out I started menopause. After two years of being on hormone therapy, I've been able to have a fantastic quality of life, intimacy, and minimal menopausal symptoms. My mood disorder has stablized. Even though I am in full menopause now, I am still feeling great!

I first used a compound troche for menopausal symptoms. There were fewer side effects and I preferred this to traditionally prescribed treatments that contradicted my other conditions. I currently use a compound vaginal cream to assist with atropic vaginitis, vaginal prolapse, bladder prolapse, uterine prolapse and neurogenic flaccid bladder. This cream, as a traditional prescription, would not be affordable to me due to the high prescription cost.

Most importantly, cBHT has lifted the brain fog that came post menopause.

I would be a mess without the compounded hormones I take daily. I had early onset menopause due to a full hysterectomy. I started out with an estrogen patch. It wasn't enough. The natural compounded hormones are the only thing that works for me. I don't have hot flashes and night sweats. I can lose weight and build muscle. I don't have mood swings anymore. My family is much happier with me also. I did try and go off of them for a few months and was so miserable, I went back on. Please don't restrict these therapies!

Hormones gives me stamina, energy and helps my sex drive.

I used prescribed hormones for five years and continued to have hot flashes. Then my blood work showed that my body wasn't even absorbing it. When I switched to the biodentical hormones, within one week I felt dramatically better. I won't use anything else!

Being able to get my hormones in cream form from the compounding pharmacy is huge! Not only is my doctor able to work with them for my exact needs "for my body", it also is free from chemicals my body does not like so I don't have any reactions to the cream.

I was ready to end my life due to having lost all of what was familiar to me. I had trouble with hot flashes, mood swings, energy level, rational thought, focus, strength, stamina, and muscle maintenance. My quality of life has greatly improved with bioidentical hormone replacement. I cannot imagine my life without the ingredients and balance that I have with cBHT.

When my menopause experience worsened, I did try to take estrogen pills but that type of therapy has always had side effects for me. When my doctor started offering bioidentical hormone therapy, I started using a cream instead. That has worked so much better for the chemistry in my body. As my hormones ebb and flow, it is easy to modify the amount of cream used to better regulate the amount. I wasn't easily able to do that with pills. Everybody's body chemistry is different and it's been nice to have therapy regulated to my individual needs at doses that can easily be controlled. This is the future of medicine.

There are very few options for women for hormone treatment going through menopause. The medical field likes to prescribe a one size fits all hormone therapy, that we know has adverse side affects. I can work with someone who specializes in hormones to help me find the right amount of hormone therapy that is best for me as an individual using spit and blood testing. This has never been offered to me from a medical doctor. We are very behind in women's health- do not take this away. We are finally making some sense of the menopause struggles that are so unnecessary for women to fight through and the health risks that come along with no hormone treatment. Stop taking over decisions for my health and trust in the professional individuals that prescribe and compound these medications. They know a whole lot more about me and my health than the FDA or Big Pharma!
