At almost 50 years of age with hyperthyroidism my thyroid gland was totally ablated with RAI. At that time my peri-menopause became menopause. A physician prescribed Premarin and a very negative experience followed with multiple side effects. Obviously my body was not accepting the Premarin so I discontined this drug. A friend introduced me to the cBHT. After beginning this therapy there was a feeling of calm in my body with absolutely zero side effects. To this day at 74 years of age I continue to take this hormone therapy and will until I die. This natural estrogen and progesterone balances my body and has enabled me to gracefully grow old .......more youthfully than many peers not taking natural hormone therapy. I am blessed.

I began om cBHT in 2014. I wanted natural alternatives for hormone replacement; not something synthetic ot synthesized from animal product. As a vegetarian, it's important to me what i put into my body.

Since starting my cBHT, Ive maintained healthy hormone levels, successfully treated insomnia and lowered my blood pressure.

Please keep CBHT as a natural option in medical care.

The personalized compounded hormones benefit me greatly. They level my moods and have greatly helped with bladder leaks. These hormones compounded especially for me have given me a much improved sense of well-being.

When I had a hysterectomy 11 years ago, I was placed on synthetic hormone replacement therapy and became extremely depressed. I was then introduced to bioidentical hormones or compounded hormones that were made for me specifically based on my scientific needs. As a result, I have been able to live a much fuller life without extreme mood changes that were a constant interference in my life. I cannot imagine my life without them and I implore you to continue to allow my pharmacy to make these essential medications.

I have a lot of health issues with hormone imbalances. I was not functioning until I started NATURAL hormone therapy. The FDA does not need to be in control of everything we do! It is one more thing they want to control and manipulate for profit reasons to line they’re own pockets. This is still a free country but barely anymore because CDC and FDA are trying to control Everything! Please do not allow them to say synthetic hormones are allowed. That is allowing the drug companies to monopolize on purpose! We are not stupid! It isn’t their business.

My gynecologist recommended this to keep the vaginal tissue strong and prevent infections. It has worked very well for me and I want to continue using it. Please do not prevent me from using it.

My journey to relief with compounded hormones began in 2016, when I developed intermittent pelvic pain seemingly overnight. After significant testing, I was left with no answers and told that I would just have to deal with it. This pain got progressively worse to the point that there was not one minute that I wasn't in severe, debilitating agony that only opiate pain medication would relieve. Over time, I began experiencing other symptoms consistent with perimenopause which prompted my doctor to check my hormones. They discovered I was suffering from premature ovarian insufficiency.

My research led me to a urogynecologist and hormone specialist who prescribed compounded hormones for me. Within weeks, I felt brand new again! All my symptoms went away, and my pelvic pain was 95% better. I literally cried with relief and felt hope again for the first time, because I hadn't really believed the hormones would help that aspect of my suffering. With continued use of compounded hormones, I am functional again and can live a full life. I do occasionally have a pain flare, but they are mild and short-lived. I can honestly say compounded hormones saved my life as I would not have been able to continue on living with that level of pain.

I am a 51 year old women who suffered from body aches and pain. The prescription that I am on has helped me so much that I ni longer suffer such pain. I have more energy and my brain function is more clear than before. I cant imagine not being able to continue with my treatment. I am prone to side affects with many medications and to finally find a medication that balances me is just wonderful. I ask for your support to not restrict my access to the current hormones I am taking. I thank you for your support!!

I started with my hormone therapy just a little over two years ago. It has been excellent for me in regards to my bone density. I’ve got scoliosis and with the bone density improvement it has shown to improve my situation.
I feel a lot more energetically and my blood pressure has been completely regulated to normal! I strongly believe in hormone therapy for both men and women!

I had a hysterectomy when was I was fairly young and needed hormone replacement because I had persistent hot flashes and insomnia. After getting on compounded hormones, I felt back to my old self, strong, balanced, well-rested, and energetic. I have been on cBHT for more than a decade and would like to continue to be able to use them to stay healthy and fit.

Progesterone Cream has made a difference as I deal with hormonal imbalance. It also makes a difference with my night sweats. I feel better knowing I'm not adding to my issues because I am using safely compounded hormone therapies.

I have been on hormone replacement for a few years and my OB switched me from the compounded products I was prescribed by my wellness doctor and prescribed commercially available product. It simply is not for me. I was so well managed and after trying several commercially available products, the compounded formulations just worked so much better.
Talk about a woman's right to choose!!! Why would anyone want to take this one away. It must remain my body, my choice.
I want the right to choose the option of compounded treatment.

I was afraid to try synthetic hormone replacement because of cancer risks, but my post menopausal symptoms were making me miserable!!!
I am so thankful my doctor was able to get me on Bio Identical Hormone Therapy (naturally compounded). It has made a big difference in my life!
Please fight to keep this for patients!
Thank you!

I have Hashimoto's hypothyroidism and tried a multitude of regular meds, basically all of them, to try to feel better. None worked. When I was able to add compounded Lio-thyronine I felt great and I finally felt "normal" again.

I'm also using compounded meds for hormone replacement - bio-identical compounded meds which work phenomenally much better than the regular hormones that come in a one size fits all model. I'm here to say that one size does NOT fit all. Again, my life is much better now that I'm on compounded hormones.

It's crucial for me and so many others that compounded medication remains available. I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't get the medication I need.

At age 50 my periods stopped. I began bioidentical hormone replacement which eliminated many of the typical symptoms which were greatly affecting my job performance-- brain fog, low energy, etc.

In my late 50s I altered my dose to mimic the 28 day normal female cycle. To my great amazement, I was inadvertently cured of my Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) that had plagued me from puberty. This is considered an uncurable illness and it is extremely painful and debilitating. I had tried every treatment under the sun for decades to minimize my HS with very little success. I will NEVER stop taking this rythmic HRT supplementation. I will NOT go back to having HS with its embarassing groin and buttocks deep, excruciatingly painful cysts! HS is a progressive disease with stage III leading to death sometimes. Furthermore I have had much cancer death in my family so I will not take synthetic off the shelf hormones.

I understand the pharmaceutical industry opposes compound hormones because there is no off the shelf prescription, but must be custom blended, so they have no way to profit. Shame on them for trying to prevent this remarkable miraculous alternate therapy.

I am a 76 year old retired registered nurse. In 1983 I underwent a hysterotomy and left oophorectomy (removal of the ovary). Following surgery blood supply to the right ovary was impaired and it's function was largely lost. My hormones crashed causing me to have premature menopause. The symptoms were terrible leading to have visual hallucinations, hot flashes, mood swings, low energy and night sweats. My OBGYN physician put me on monthly injections of estrogen and testosterone to restore my hormones. This worked somewhat but did not follow the natural dynamic of hormonal increases and decreases my body was accustomed to and did not alleviate the hot flashes and night sweats. I tried several combinations of oral hormone supplements which were no better and perhaps not as good. I tried not taking anything at all and became extremely irritable and anxious along with all the other symptoms of menopause. I was introduced to compounded hormones about 10 years ago, had a saliva test to determine my actual available levels and was prescribed a combination of estrogen and testosterone in a cream that is easily applied to the skin each morning along with another cream containing progesterone witch is applied at night. This application of compounded creams has relieved all symptoms completely and has no ill side effects. Periodic saliva tests have resulted in mInor adjustments from time to time. I would be devastated if I could no longer have access to this wonderful biological treatment. synthetic hormones are far inferior to these bio-identical hormones.

Please do not allow the pharmaceutical industry and FDA to eliminate these products.

When I reached menopause at 50 years old I began having issues with sleep, weight gain, and hot flashes. My doctor sent in a script for compounded hormones. I am now 60 years old and have annual blood work and check ups to monitor my hormone levals. Compounded hormones have helped with my sleep, weight gain, and hot flashes. I cannot imagine having them taken away from me. I would not want to go back to the misery that I suffered before.

That is what happens when women lose all their hormones (which started happening to me at age 35!) Assuming they have a sex drive at all, the pain prevents them having a normal intimate relationship with their love. It’s bad enough that insurance doesn’t cover female hormone replacement. If a man is in need of testosterone, his insurance pays for it. Most women taking hormone replacement therapy are not doing it casually as a “beauty regime”, they are doing it to improve their health!

I had a hysterectomy 3 years ago and was very stressed about taking traditional hormones. When I discovered the bioidentical option, I was so relieved. It did take a while to get my prescription right, but once we did, I felt better than I had in a long time. Still doing great!
