“Without compounded hormones I would not be here today”

I am a woman in surgical menopause for 18 years. No one explained to me the grave impact on my body and mental well being that having my ovaries removed
would cause me. A woman’s ovaries that produce all sex hormones are incredibly necessary for a plethora of functions in a body. I fell apart after my surgery. I no longer was the woman who I once was and I did not want to live. I started hormone replacement therapy and unfortunately, I was one of those women who are difficult to balance hormones and tried EVERYTHING out there that was FDA approved. I settled on compounding hormones because they can be custom made for my needs and additionally do not give me the side effects that the more potent FDA approved hormones gave to me. I have gone on to live a very fulfilling life another 18 years on hormones and cannot function with my compounded hormone therapy.
