I just attended a seminar by Suzanne
Somers on bioidentical hormone replacement
therapy. I would like to know more
information and input from ladies who have
tried it, if it works and the cost since
it is not covered through insurance.

Bio-identical Posted: 06-02-07 23:11pm
I started taking the bio-identical
hormones in February and I love them. I
have more energy and it helps with some of
the other symptoms like the mood swings
and the hot flashes. I am on bi-est twice
a day and testosterone once a day and I
have not had any bad side affects. I would
tell anyone to use them over the synthetic
hormones. Insurance does not cover them
and it cost like $85.00 a month but I send
a claim form to my insurance and they will
reimburse me about $50.00.

Bio-identical Hormones Posted: 06-17-07 22:46pm
i started taking bio-identical hormones
and i can say that i dont get the night
sweats or hot flashes.
Just started taking bi-id hormones about
2-3 weeks ago; DHEA, Progesterone (both in
pill form) and Testosterone (cream).
Some things have gotten better (energy
level, libido, complection)
Some things have gotten worse (hot
flashes, blurry vision, head hurts, and
ugly mood swings).
Dr. says the negative things should go
away in a couple more weeks.
If not, may need to add some estrogen to
the mix.

More about Bioidentical HRT Posted: 02-06-08 09:16am
Menopause is a natural occurrence and the
treatments also need to come from Nature!
One of the best agent that mimics the
body's natural hormones is the soy
isoflavone. There are also numerous
products available that mimic the feminine
hormones of the body.
There are some useful herbal products that
I have personally recommended to my
patients and they all report: Improvement
in hot flashes, improved mood, improved
libido and general feeling of well-being.
And of course it does not sost a bomb and
what's more the medicines are delivered to
your door step. I order for my patients
through the internet and I get it out in
3-5 days time everytime.

I'm 54 with a total hysterectomy 20 years
ago. I've been through the gamut of hrt. I
moved to AZ and in finding a new gyn,
found a doctor going through menopause.
She does bioidentical hormone pellets (and
has them herself). They are implanted in
my hip and last 3-4 months. They are the
best! I get estrogen and testosterone. My
body only uses what it needs and they are
closest to what we make naturally. My life
has changed drastically for the better
with regards to menopause and libido.
Almost like being on newlyweds again! I
hopefully will have these till I die!
