Before cBHT I would wake in the middle of the night, every night, soaking wet from night sweats. It was as if I had had a large glass of water poured over me. I would have to change to dry pajamas, and sleep on a towel. The night sweats stopped as soon as I started cBHT. What a wonderful change for my life. I am also able to think more clearly. I don't feel like a scatter brain, and it keeps away the emotional ups and downs. I really like having a brain that functions properly. And I also enjoy having a healthy sex life. I really, really don't want to lose that. And I don't think the man I live with wants me to either. I am very, very happy with the cBHT in my life. Please ask the FDA to keep their hands off my hormones. Please ask them to not change the lives of millions of Americans who are very happy, and more healthy, physically, and mentally, due to cBHT.

I discovered, years ago, that taking a more natural approach to my health care was most beneficial to my overall well-being. The compounded estrogen cream and Natural Thyroid medicines have made a big difference in my emotional health even during my most stressful and depressing times.

When I turned 49, I had one ovary and fallopian tube removed, due to pelvic adhesion syndrome. It put me into IMMEDIATE surgically induced menopause. For one year I tried all manor of OTC remedies, home remedies, and suffered terribly throughout. Headaches, 24/7 sweats, nausea, insomnia, and a host of other daily maladies, brought on menopause. At 50, I sought out a practitioner that specialized in BHRT. Pellets for the estrogen/testosterone, and compounded progesterone in the cream form. In a few weeks, I felt better than I had in a very long time. At about the 2nd year of being on BHRT, for some strange reason, my Dr. decided to put me on traditional pill form of progesterone. I filled the script and after about 10 days of taking it, I suffered from horrible headaches. Blood pressure, musculoskeletal and all other causes of headache were eliminated and all that was left was the progesterone. I called the pharmacist and he informed me that yes, the progesterone capsules that are prescribed have headache as one of the top three side effects. I requested my physician immediately place me back on the compounded progesterone and after about a week, headaches went away and long story short, I am now 59, feel great and highly recommend to anyone that will listen that they, too, should consult their physician about BHRT. Its safe, effective, and if taken away, I will suffer, as I am sure many, many other people will as well. Please do not make compounded BHRT/HRT preparations unavailable or less available to patients. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and for considering my request.

I had previously used HRT via oral pharmaceutical route with ill effects. I went to an integrative physician who prescribed the topical hormone as well as compounded thyroid replacement. Those interventions made a huge improvement in my overall health and well being. My daughter had a thyroidectomy and could not tolerate the synthetic thyroid hormone. She would not have made it without compounded thyroid and alternatives to pharmaceuticals. My husband is currently on a very specific compounded thyroid hormone and it has made a significant improvement over Synthroid. He has been on the compounded hormone for years and doing very well.

I was given a full hysterectomy at age 42 as I had endometriosis. My doctor was very compassionate and recommended BHT. We started with a pellet, which was not effective enough. Next we tried patches which ended up on my husband during the night. Decided to go with estradiol for a few years before adding progesterone along with that. For several years I was taking these until my Oregon Naturopathic doctor prescribed me these troches in 2009. I am 75 yrs young and lead a healthy vibrant life. I have always had a healthy sexual appetite and still do. I really feel without this BHT I would have shriveled up into a prune over the years. Will be happy to send you a current pic as really feel that if you took away my hormones it would be disastrous. 

I would not be taking HRT if it wasn't for them being compounded. The Hormone Replacement therapies made by synthetic means are dangerous.

After going through chemo, I was having side effects. Always tired and lacked energy and libido. Since being on hormone therapy I feel like a different person. I feel it should be my individual right to keep having access to my prescription.

I was experiencing severe vaginal dryness that did not respond natural treatments so my doctor prescribed the Estring. The Estring did not work either. I had read online that sometimes using a little testosterone can enhance the effectiveness of the Estring. I discussed this with my doctor who agreed to order compounded testosterone for me to try. She instructed me to use a very tiny amount and it worked like a charm! I am a 79 year old retired nurse and have been using this medication for about 8 to 10 years with no problems.

I needed to get progesterone injections to help maintain my pregnancy and prevent preterm labor. Pharmacy Specialties in Sioux Falls, SD provided easy and quick access to high quality compounded progesterone and helped me sustain my pregnancy!!

I was in Pre-menopause stage at 31 years old. My doctor started me on progesterone therapy. Within the next year later I got pregnant, and was able to successfully deliver a beautiful, healthy baby girl. Five years later, it is still making a huge difference in my life. My menses is much more manageable, my hot flashes are non existent, and I'm sleeping much better. The therapy has been a wonderful addition to my life!

For several different reasons, including chronic stress and sever allergies, my immune system was depleted. I had unexplained weight loss and hair loss, as well as a number of digestive issues, and a lot of fatigue. After determining I was a good candidate for hormone support, I felt like a regular person again! My energy was back and I could make it through the day without a nap. My fibroids and endometriosis have held steady, allowing me to avoid surgery. I am very grateful for the compounding formulas, so that I can avoid the synthetic hormones that did not work for me. If synthetic was my only choice, I likely wouldn't be able to take them, and my health would once again be jeopardized.

cBHT provides my thyroid with essential hormones which help my body function normally. I need cBHT for my health and wellbeing.

I am very thankful of finding out about hormones. It has changed my life tremendously. I sleep better. I am healthier. Living a better life. Praising God also for being directed to hormone therapy!

Before starting on HRT I was experiencing significant weight gain going from 125 to 150 within a 6 month period after I got a hysterectomy. I have been a life time exerciser and still am and have a healthy eater. I'm also a certified health coach. Neither exercise of healthy eating was able to stop the weight gain. Eventually the frustration lead to emotional issues and marriage issues so I went to see an MD specializing in holistic medicine to check my hormones. My hormones were so out of balance with nearly zero estrogen and progesterone and very low testosterones. At first I tried natural products and over the counter products which didn't help. Once I started on the compounded hormones I started feeling like myself again emotionally and my quality of life improved significantly. I try to stay as natural as possible with food, supplements and medications so compounding is the best option for me. I stay on top of all my screenings as well and there has been no problems. At my age quality of life is everything.

I could not have sex without the use of this estradiol vaginal cream that is in syringe form. I used the other type of cream from a regular pharmacy and it irritated me and made me itch so bad that I couldn't use it. What I got from the compounding pharmacy works great with no burning or irritation or itching. I don't know what id do without it!

During menopause I started having trouble sleeping . I would wake up during the night numerous times with hot flashes . I soon became very tired and irritable! I would also have hot flashes during the day when I was trying to work. I had to wait months before I could get into PA who could prescribe Biest cream. I felt like a new person. I could not believe the difference it made. I recently drove 9 hours to babysit my grandkids for 5 days. Unfortunately I forgot my prescription at home. I could not believe how irritable I was without it. I felt bad that I was not as patient with the children like I normally am. I cannot imagine not having access to my prescription that is formulated just for me. I have been on my current prescription for probably 5 years.

I had an oophorectomy and salpingectomy during removal of a large ovarian cyst at age 49. I did not respond well to regular HRT after Estratest was removed from the market. I was prescribed the estrogen patch, which caused a painful rash everywhere I moved it, then estrogen/progesterone gel, then a different combination of estrogen and Prometrium, then a combo gel with not enough progesterone that resulted in a cancer developing in my uterus 20 years after the first surgery. Frustrated I was told I was too old to have HRT and to just learn to deal with it. After several months of feeling like I was losing my mind, vaginal dryness, crummy sex drive, tiredness, irritability and continuously feeling angry, I saw a naturopathic gynecologist who gave me my current regimen of compounded estrogen and progesterone and a testosterone supplement. It turned my whole world back to normal. It keeps my skin in good condition, gave me my sex drive back and generally put my life back on track. I have used compounded products since 2017 at age 71. That same physician prescribed compounded natural thyroid medication which I take also with great success.

I have been using cBHT for many years and it has made a tremendous improvement in my quality of life. I misplaced my prescription cream during a bathroom remodel recently so I can clearly attest to the benefits of using the medical vs. not using the medication. After a couple of weeks of not using the medication I felt much more depressed, lacked motivation to complete simple tasks, my energy level dropped, mental sharpness decreased and overall quality of well-being dropped. My husband noticed a clear difference as well. After the remodel was completed and I found my cBHT cream and starting using on a regular basis again, my overall feeling of well-being greatly improved!!! I have a much happier and positive outlook on life! My mood is elevated and energy level is back. I feel like doing my daily exercise as I did previously. I research products that I consume and I want to continue to take the bio-identical hormone as this is a natural hormone replacement. I do NOT want to take non-natural products! Please, please please do NOT restrict the use of cBHT! It has helped me tremendously in life! I have other friends that have had similar positive experiences!

Menopause gave me hot flashes, mood swings, inability to sleep, depression. Taking cBHT has caused a vast improvement in all of these areas.
