The topical creams have greatly improved my libido and relationship with my husband! They completely halted terrible hot flashes, relieved overwhelming fatigue, and improved my mood tremendously! I NEVER want to be without these biomimetic and bioidentical hormones. My fasting lipid levels have actually improved as I have gone through menopause. My HDL is 72, which I attribute both to my daily walking but mostly to estrogen's benefits which have not decreased since I went on BHRT. DO NOT take these away!
