Hello Ladies,
I was talking to a lady I know that’s a midwife and she recommended bioidentical custom compound hormone therapy to me. She is 70 years old and said she will be using it for the rest of her life, she swears by it. She given me a name of a local doctor who takes your blood and they work out what you need and basically it’s a custom HRT.
I google and the Australian Menopausal Society do not recommend it. Just wondering if anyone used it and your feedback.
Thanks Lyncola
The UK doesn't recommend bioidentical compounded hrt either as there's no guarantee of quality or reliability, so in other words you don't really know how much of anything you're getting and what the quality of the ingredients are because this industry is not regulated. I did try it myself, falsely believing that it was safer than traditional hrt but just ended up spending a lot of money unnecessarily.
You can get bioidentical hrt from your primary dr/GP, and it has a proven track record, so I believe it is safer and more reliable. Did the midwife explain the facts to you? I would hope so, as she's a Healthcare professional.
However it's your menopause and your choice. Good luck with the decision you make!
