At age 45 I had to have a hysterectomy. Thank goodness, my doctor at the time was knowledgeable enough to recommend the bio-identical hormones to help with abrupt side effects from the surgery. I did a lot of reading and research myself and I found comfort in knowing the bio-identical hormones were much safer to take. Over the 17 years since my surgery, I have moved several times and I’ve always had to search for a doctor who will prescribe them, even being over an hour away, because that’s how important it is to my well-being. I will definitely not ever take regular hormones and if the bio-identical gets restricted or banded, I will not sleep, will gain weight, get hot flashes and be a miserable moody person for sure!

Not sure where I would be without BHRT. Helped me get through perimenopause. With BHRT I can manage my weight, mood, emotional well-being, libido, skin, hair, bone density, and quality of life. Aging gracefully with BHRT!

I a 71 yr old woman who has ankylosing spondylosis and other comorbidities. Menopause made my symptoms tenfold. I have had 3 treatments of pellets. It has literally changed my life. No, sweats, better sleep, less pain , More energy. Most important to me is my vaginal area is finally comfortable and working as it used to when I was a young woman. I went from being completely unable to have and enjoy intimacy to being just like I used to be. My love life with my wonderful husband is restored and better than ever. I am a woman again! Don't hesitate to try the pellets your world will change for the better. I will never be without them again. I lost over 10 years of intimacy and love, don't make that mistake. My life is 100 percent better.

Depression, hot flashes, lost sleep, and anxiety were part of my struggle. Blood work uncovered how off the charts my hormones were. Within 6 weeks, and my doctor's prescription accuracy, the compound turned my life and level of happiness around. It is infuriating that something so beneficial is under threat by our government. I have an idea.....redirect the time, energy, and resources to the opiate epidemic

Prior to starting my HRT journey with compounded hormones, I was a mess mentally and physically. My doctor started me on my current regimen provided by a compounding pharmacy, and I haven’t felt this good in a long dang time. Please don’t take this away from us.

I had bilateral ovarian cysts with torsion in my early thirties after having two children. Surgery to remove the cysts left me in early menopause. I researched the benefits of bio-identical hormone replacement and successfully began daily use of HRT, compounded from a trustworthy pharmacy. I have been able to maintain my quality of life for almost twenty years with the use of compounded hormone replacement therapy.

In 2014 my thyroid went haywire. I had developed a toxic nodule that caused my thyroid to become overactive. There are a litany of symptoms that go along with this condition and it makes one miserable. Once diagnosed, on the recommendation of an Endocrinologist, my thyroid was treated with radioactive iodine, rendering me hypothyroid for the remainder of my life. Thyroid medications were prescribed and helped some of the symptoms, but I still felt awful. My doctor prescribed a compounded, time released Liothyronine (T3) medication, to go along with my other thyroid medications, and within 30 days I was feeling better. Within 60 days I was myself again. It would be tragic if our government restricted use of these kinds of medications. My doctor also prescribed compounded B12 injections due to a deficiency, a condition that a supplement didn't help.

Compounded Hormones changed my life from depressed, moody, with hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and irritable all the time back to a normal person with none of the above symptoms anymore.
My quality of life has changed so much…I am able to sleep and I have the energy to do my work again and with a clear mind.
I cannot imagine having to go back to those days before I found the wonderful doctor who prescribed the Compounded hormones I am using now.

I cannot imagine having to go back to those days without the Compounded hormones I am using now!!!

Please stop them from restricting the use of compounded hormone therapies!! Compounded hormones work and millions of women depend on them!!!!!

I am concerned about the FDA restricting my access to a Customized Compounded Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy that’s been described by the doctor.

I have benefited immensely from this prescribed therapy from my Doctor, and I could not accept the FDA limiting my access to Customized Compounded Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy.

I have been using compounded estrogen for many years as I am trying to eliminate chemicals from my food & medicines. The U. N. Environment Programme has determined that parabens are an endocrine disruptor & are banned in Europe. Please don't take this option & alternative medicine away!

I had a hysterectomy and oophorectomy at age 31. I am now 65. My body metabolizes natural hormones better than what is made in chemical pharmacies. I take a compounded estrogen and testosterone cream and a compounded progesterone capsule every day. It helps my body with all kinds of symptoms.

During the past 7 years, I have been experiencing challenging menopausal symptoms. I am so happy to have found a trusted and experienced OB/GYN, who helped solve my challenges with cBHT. I feel much better!
I think it is important for everyone to have options to choose from in regard to their health and to have the freedom to choose, with the help of their trusted doctor, what best suits them! My body, my choices!

I had premature hormone depletion from CML. When my hormones were tested when I was 55 they revealed that of an 82-year-old woman. Symptoms were pain from extreme dryness. The ability to access compounding HRT has been a quality of life issue.

Before compounded hormones, my symptoms were so severe that I didn't get a good night's sleep for years and had night sweats and hot flashes. Hormone replacement therapy is the best thing that I've done to regain my health.

I am a 52-year-old woman. I started on compounded hormone replacement therapy over seven years ago, which has been life-changing. I am so grateful to my provider and compounding pharmacist that they were able to work together to come up with the right formulation for me. One size fits all commercial products are not the answer, as each woman is very unique. Please do not take away compounded hormones. Thank you for your consideration.

Since practicing bio-identical hormone replacement, my health has improved drastically, and it has become a win/win situation. I feel great.  Our bodies contain more than one hundred different types of hormones which pour into your bloodstream at the rate of thousands of billions of units a day. Hormones regulate your heartbeat and your breathing. Hormones make men and women who they are. Hormones put you to sleep at night and they wake you up in the morning. They control your blood pressure, build up bone, maintain muscle tone, and lubricate joints. Hormones govern growth, they make the body produce energy and heat. Hormones burn fat. Hormones govern the menstrual cycle and allow pregnancy (and birth) to occur. They fight stress, prevent fatigue calm anxiety, and relieve depression. Hormones make and keep memories. Hormones maintain the correct level of sugar in the blood and tissues. They resist allergic reactions and infections. They soothe the pain. hormones control your sex drive, virility, and fertility. They stimulate your brain and your immune system. For all those reasons I am passionate about the subject of compounded hormones being under a very real threat. Compounded hormones are essential to a woman's health during and after menopause. Please, do not discontinue the use of compounded hormones.

Compounded Hormones changed my life from itchy, moody, bloated, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, pain, burning during intercourse, bone loss, low sex drive, and irritability to a real woman that's comfortable in her skin with none of the above symptoms.

For the first time, I have found an HRT treatment that has improved not only my night sweats and mood swings but improved my inflammation and therefore lowered my pain. Since I started taking it almost 3 months ago my energy is improved, my mood is balanced and my pain levels are dramatically reduced. I have never had this experience with other prescribed hormone replacement treatments such as oral estradiol and progesterone.

My health and quality of life will most certainly suffer if I do not have access to these compounded medicines.

I tried many medications, patches, and oral tablets, but nothing worked and I experienced many side effects, migraines, water retention, bruises, etc. I finally had relief with no side effects when I found the correct bio-identical for me. It is personalized, we are all different and we have different needs,
