I have experienced positive results using compounded hormones. They are easy to use, agree with my body, and have not caused negative side effects. When I tried other hormone prescription medications from my primary care physician, I had issues, and the estradiol cream that is inserted vaginally caused my fibroid cysts to grow larger.
Since using the compounds, I have not experienced vaginal dryness, mood swings, hot flashes, and menopausal symptoms so severely. It has made the transition much easier. I have used both cream and Lozenge or troche. The cream works best.
