Deficient in estrogen and progesterone, you say? Well, that could be causing a bit of problems! Before the other meds can work, this has to be dealt with.

The way I take my hormones is a sub-lingual customized preparation of natural plant-based hormones. They're prepared by a compounding pharmacy from a doctor's or naturopath's prescription.

However, it's hard to find a doc that knows much about the subject. I was lucky to find a compounding pharmacist that does patient counseling and then faxes her recommendations to my primary-care doc (who is very grateful for her expertise). She's very, very knowledgeable and I got more out of this consultation than with any of my doctors. My husband and I are both taking hormones this way and it's been great. Her consultations are around $60 and worth it.

The prescription info is faxed to your doc and can be filled through this, or any other compounding pharmacy, and mailed to you. Here's the info:

Denise, PhM (don't know her last name)
Creative Compounds
Wilsonville, OR 97070
877-585-6111 or 503-685-6111

Hopefully, your current doc will be open to this. Most docs unfortunately don't know how to handle hormonal issues and don't even know about natural hormones. They're so tied into the major pharma companies which are not about to divulge competitive remedies .
