Bio-Identical Hormones are much safer. They are derived from all natural ingredients and are not considered to be a cancer risk.
Bio Identical Hormones work first by measuring a woman's hormones and their levels to find any deficiencies. Her clinician then brings balance to her hormones by mixing together those that she lacks.
Bio-identical hormones are derived from plant estrogens and are bio-identical to the ones our bodies produce. They are helpful in menopause treatments, andropause treatments and other hormonal imbalances. For more information talk to your doctor or read more online.

The hormone replacement therapy pellet lasts about 3-4 months, and the pill is taken daily. Both must be prescribed by a doctor, typically one specializing in hormone replacement therapy. Natural bio-identical hormones are the best, not synthetic ones. The therapy is needed until your hormones are in balance. The length of time for this therapy is best discussed with your doctor, as it is specific to your needs & your body’s ability to produce the correct amount (not over or under) of hormones.

Impacting our mental and physical health, imbalanced hormones can also lead to weight gain. And losing weight when your hormones are not in balance can even be harder. I have placed a link in my bio that you can check out!
Call your Ob/GYN and make an appointment. They may do a hormone level blood test and ask you a few questions. I have been on it 8 years and it is great ( don't care what the news accounts tell us. They said the same things about birth control in the 1960's). I'd like to add that there are compounding Pharmacies that have Bio-identical Hormones if you can't tolerate the hormones given by your OB/GYN. There are places to do saliva tests, often right at these pharmacies... consider reading Suzanne Sommer's books about aging and HRT. As our hormones decrease we begin having many degenerative effects since hormones run everything in our bodies. I found a place to get help by searching online... since my doctor wanted me to not take anything and just allow my hormones to run down. I'm so tired... here comes the wrinkles, poly-cystic disease starting, all related to this run down of hormones. There is help for men too going through andropause, as long as they have no prostate cancer cells. Men shouldn't wait until their testosterone drops too low, get the bio identical hormones, it is said to protect the prostate from cancer.
