My body functions best and I finally feel human again after taking compounded estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. I have worked my entire adult life as a medical professional taking care of others and going above and beyond for them . I should be able to choose what is best for my body. This is sickening especially after I have worked so hard for others! 

I really need my bio-identical hormones because my body doesn't produce what I need. Without them, I can not sleep and would be a mess. They help me to be more productive and happy.

I was in my late 20s when I became very ill and housebound. For 7yrs no doctor could figure out what was wrong with me. The lack of progesterone was causing a lot of secondary illnesses. I had no life. I was unable to work or live a normal life. I did my own research on my symptoms and realized I had a hormonal imbalance. I pushed for testing but my gynecologist said it was a waste of time because of how young I was. I did get tested and I had little to no progesterone every time I was tested. I was in my late 20s and wasn't ovulating. A GP took sympathy on me and introduced me to compounded bio-identical. My life completely changed. I even became a nurse. In my late 30s, I got covid and it made my hormonal imbalance worse. I searched high and low to find help. I found out I have a rare condition called Premature Ovarian Insufficiency. I found a doctor to help me. Without them, my life would not be worth living. I would be unable to be a nurse or have a normal life. I desperately need my compounded hormonal treatments. I see a doctor every 3mos and have a test done. It is safe and carefully watched over. It is not just women going through menopause that need treatments. I am so thankful to be able to get my hormones.

I have been using bio-identical hormones for the past 10 years. I initially looked into using them because I was having sleep issues. Not only do they help with sleep but also have a positive effect on my mood, energy level, and weight issues. I think it's important to get just the right dose of each hormone since everyone"s body is so different. I've also read that they decrease my chances of getting breast cancer and having cardiac issues, which have affected some of my family members.

Never in my female life did I feel as energetic and productive as I have felt since taking bio-identical hormones. I run a business and employ five people. Without compounded hormones, I may not be able to do that. Why would anyone want to take this away?

I am on 2 medications that are compounded. I need them so much for my health issues. If it was not for my compounded hormones I would have many other issues. I need this type of drug. They are more effective in my issues. I feel better about these. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THEM AWAY!

I was implanted with a bio-identical hormone pellet after having an emergency removal of my ovary. I had already tried estradiol and a progestin IUD. The traditional medicines failed with horrible side effects including migraines, nausea, mood swings, weepiness, and insomnia. The bio-identical pellet along with Prometrium did the trick. I felt like myself again. The misery lifted. The panic and palpitations were gone. The hot flashes and night sweats were completely eliminated. I was calm, cool, and collected. Just as if the emergency ovariectomy had never happened.

Compounded hormones are a lifesaver, and I can’t fathom them being taken away for no reason. Please do what you can to protect our right to good health.

I have suffered several bouts of vulvodynia in my life, and have only found relief when Estrogen Testosterone was given as a compounded vaginal treatment. Simply using estrogen alone was not helpful. The pain I felt was like having hot coal in me 24/7. Only proper hormone treatment by my certified menopausal medicine doctor has helped. Please consider that 1 out of 4 women has this condition.

I have used bio-identical hormones for approximately 35 yrs. The synthetic progesterone caused acne and did not alleviate my other symptoms. When I was put on Synthroid for my thyroid, I had a racing heart, rashes, and intestinal issues. I overdosed on Prometrium and synthetic Synthroid. Since on natural progesterone, estrogen, and armor thyroid or T3/T4 all the other symptoms are gone. I have managed my health much better through natural means without all the side effects from synthetic drugs minus all the other prescriptions for the symptoms the synthetic(unnatural) drugs cause. My body and mind are good, now. Dr's say Synthroid is natural, no it is not.. It is synthetic. My body does not like it!! My body knows what it needs and responds accordingly and has negative reactions to unnatural drugs. The dosage can also be made to what I need not a pre-stamped dosage that is incorrect for my body. My body, My choice.

When severe bleeding (that could not be stopped) left me with a complete hysterectomy at 30, my doctor placed me on Premarin. After 10 years and a move, I met a doctor who suggested I try bio-identical hormone therapy instead of Premarin, because of side effects and risks. After a few months of tweaking levels, I was placed on a cream of estrogen blends and an oral progesterone capsule. These medications have treated me very well, eliminating migraine headaches, dense breast tissue, and a much better emotional outlook. Now in my 60’s I continue to have my levels tested and adjusted as needed, without the fears and side effects associated with a synthetic or horse derived product. My compounding pharmacy works well with my physician to assure my levels are balanced to keep me healthy and happy.

I started and continue taking compound hormones to treat menopause. Traditional medicines did not work. I have been taking them now for over 8 years and it has given me a quality of life again!

I have been using compounded hormones (progesterone, estrogen, testosterone) and it has made such a difference. I feel more energetic and it has increased my sexual drive. I go to the gym 3 times/a week now. The doctor checks my hormone level twice a year and the lab report shows a hormonal level according to what it is expected to have due to my age after taking the hormonal treatment. I am glad that after menopause we don’t have to feel depressed, down, and have low libido.

After years of suffering from recurrent UTIs, I've found a solution using compounded hormones. Over the years, I've developed allergies to most antibiotics, putting me at risk of having no alternatives for treatment. This could lead to hospitalization, sepsis, and worse! I depend on compounded hormones!

I have been using compounded hormones for 5 years now, and I do not appreciate the FDA trying to get involved with MY choice of where I purchase my hormones. Compounded hormones are made with the powder form of hormones that are compounded into various forms like creams, gels, troches, suppositories, capsules, etc.

I started HRT two years ago. I cannot imagine life without my compounded pharmaceuticals. I attempted to use patches but quickly discovered that the lowest dose was too strong for me. It caused migraines and severe emotional distress. Since switching to the compounded creams I have regained my life.

At least 10 years ago I had my Thyroid removed, and spent another 7 years feeling terrible, hardly able to get out of bed with no energy. Then I was diagnosed with Addison's Disease and things got worse. I then found a Doctor to work with me and was able to put me on compound hormones. It was LIFE CHANGING. I finally felt good with lots of energy and for the first time in years, I felt like myself. Without compounded hormones, none of this would have been possible for me and I would still be in bed and feeling terrible. Compounded Hormones cannot be taken away.

I had a radical hysterectomy 11 years ago. I have been taking bio-identical hormones after the surgery. I could not live without them. They are a blessing from God!!

The right combination and individualization of hormone therapy saved my life and helped me to become a more productive member of society. Betting being able to get the right formulation was critical to balancing my hormones during the pre-menopausal and now post-menopause stages of my life.
