"I went off birth control pills at 55 years old, and within 6 months, sex became too painful. I went on Bijuva, and within 3 months, I was able to have sex again without pain, and it’s only gotten better! Hot flashes are gone too. I have had no negative side effects, only positive ones! Life-changing for me!"

"I've just started taking Bijuva and it has helped with my sleep and anxiety levels. However, now I feel extremely tired and lack motivation. I also notice that I am more irritable and have a short fuse. I'm not sure if it is helping with brain fog. It feels like PMS. I'll keep trying it for the month, but I really don't want this mood to continue. Hoping it settles and works out."

"I’ve been on Bijuva for about a month and a half, and it’s been so-so at best. I actually came here looking for reviews but decided to leave one since there aren’t many. The first two weeks seemed great - my skin looked better, I lost some weight, no brain fog, etc. However, after that, it’s been annoying to say the least - I’ve had near-daily spotting (usually 2-4 good days, then a day of irritability, and then 4-6 days of spotting with cramps - anything from brown to small clots). My skin is starting to look dry again, and I am incredibly sleepy about an hour after taking the pill. All in all, I’m considering just going back to the pill."

"I started taking Bijuva for post-menopause symptoms. Was on it almost a month. At first, I did okay, other than it causes vaginal bleeding. Then I noticed that my heart was racing after taking it. I went to the doctor, and she heard heart palpitations, which I had never had before. Then I went into tachycardia. I had to go to the emergency room because of very high blood pressure and very high heart rate. I was told it was caused by taking the Bijuva. My doctor, along with my pharmacist daughter, researched this medicine also, and it can cause heart palpitations and tachycardia. My doctor told me to immediately stop taking it. As soon as I stopped taking it, I am doing better. I would rather have menopause symptoms than have a stroke or heart attack! I would not recommend this drug to anyone."

"Perimenopausal symptoms are now well managed thanks to Bijuva. I’ve been on it for 2 months, and it has significantly reduced the severity and frequency of sweats, day and night. I also had 4 UTIs in 4 months prior to starting Bijuva, and I have had no UTIs since. I feel like my body is back in balance again!"

"I've been taking this Bijuva for about 4 months. It stopped most of my hot flashes, but lately I am still getting them. It doesn't help with my sleep at all. I'm not sure about this drug. I also noticed that my nails are thinner. Isn't this supposed to keep you from getting osteoporosis? I'm not that thrilled."

"I am 54 years old. I started peri-menopause. I had severe hot flashes every hour for 1-2 minutes, no sleeping, migraine, brain fog, irritated, no appetite. I was miserable. I was recommended evening primrose, Estrovera. I would take them for 6 weeks and I was still suffering, they did not work! Because of the hot flashes during sleep, I got body aches, charley horse from stretching my legs. My OB-GYN recommended Bijuva, and in 4-5 days, the hot flashes stopped and I was able to sleep through the night. I do feel tired sometimes. This medicine has helped 99% better!"

"I started taking Bijuva 21 days ago for premenopausal symptoms. At first, it did okay, then things started going downhill. Three days ago, I first started passing out off and on, and my pupils wouldn't dilate. My husband almost took me to the emergency room, but I started feeling a little better, so I didn't go. The next day, after taking it, I went to the emergency room. My heart rate was 114, and blood pressure was 210/110. I have never had this happen to me before. I also went into a sudden rage. This was a couple hours after I took it. I had been noticing a week or so before that my heart was racing every time I took it. This is a dangerous drug. I was told it can cause heart palpitations and tachycardia. Well, that's what it was doing to me! They immediately took me off of it. Since I have stopped taking it, I'm doing much better. Please, people, be careful taking this drug. It's one of the worst things I have ever experienced!!"

"I’m in my 5th month. Back pain is so bad. I’m seeing my doctor to make sure my kidneys are okay. It started lower, and now it’s middle back and sides. Going in for X-rays. I do feel better with no hot flashes, but I need to find out why my back is hurting all the time. I’m not losing or gaining weight. I feel like I look better, though. It’s a toss-up to quit or stick with it. No doctors know about this medication. I did get blood work done, and my vitamin D was super low, so I’m on a prescription dose. Going back in a couple of weeks to check levels."

"I have been taking Bijuva for 6 months, it has helped hot flashes, joint aches, libido, and sleepless nights. The downside is I have gained weight, and I have had two episodes of quite heavy bleeding (the blood is clotted). I feel we are all guinea pigs at this time, as the doctors do not know the answers. I am not continuing with Bijuva."

"I am on my third month taking Bijuva. It stopped my hot flashes within 2 to 3 days, which was a relief. I feel like I look better, but I started developing back pain when I lay down, so I am in the process of finding out if my kidneys are being affected or if it’s a previous injury. I’m not sure which it is, and I’m also not sure I want to stay on this because of all the side effects that could potentially arise. I would like to find a more natural alternative with the same result. I already had a fibroid on my uterus before I started taking the medication, so I am curious if it’s growing. I want to make sure everything’s OK. I have a doctor appointment set for next week to do a follow-up. My main question is how do they keep track of hormone levels when you’re on this hormone pill? Usually, you’re going to get your hormones tested, and it’ll be taken up or taken down depending on your levels. I don’t see that with this pill. How do they know?"

"Has anyone experienced extremely high emotions while taking this? My best friend started taking it about a month ago, and she cannot complete a sentence without crying her eyes out. She has not ever been so emotional, and we were wondering if anyone else has had this side effect. Thank you all."

"I was experiencing night sweats and vaginal dryness. I have tried several medications for my symptoms, and Bijuva has worked the best for me with the least side effects. I was in denial at first and stopped taking the medication when my symptoms stopped. Within three to five days, I would notice the difference as the night sweats would return. This medication I would recommend for every woman to try."

"I used Bijuva only for 3 days, and already on the third day, I started having serious side effects like sharp abdominal pain, pain while urinating (maybe it caused a urinary tract infection), difficulty sleeping, pelvic pain. The only good thing, I lost a little weight. Did not help with hot flashes at all, in turn, only increased it. I have read a lot of studies, beware, taking synthetic hormones can cause a lot of serious illnesses. Read research on the subject."

"I have been taking Bijuva for 2 months now, and suddenly I have bleeding. At first, it was like spotting, then would stop, and a few days later come back. Now I have severe cramping pain in my right side, and the heavy bleeding started. This lasted about 4 days, stopped, and the bleeding came back. It has really helped my hot flashes a great deal, so I’m not sure if I want to continue taking this medication or not. My doctor says that the bleeding is not from taking the Bijuva."

"I am finishing up my 3rd month on this medication. It did stop my hot flashes, but I started getting back pain by my kidneys. Blood tests showed nothing. Now I'm feeling it in my gallbladder. I'm hesitant to stop because I do feel better, but I have been worried about this medication hurting my body. My doctor has no idea about the medication, so asking any medical professional does no good. I really think we are all testing this product for the side effects. Kidneys and gallbladder seem to take the hit with this. I'm going to try a low dose of an antidepressant, which was suggested by my doctor. I'm also going to research the Duavee medication that was mentioned before I switch. I just had an ultrasound to check my fibroid that was spotted a few years ago. They didn't say if it was growing, but they did spot another small one. I'm on the fence at this time."

"Been on Bijuva for days, and I don't notice any changes. Main reason for taking it was because of low mood and anxiety due to peri. I also had no get-up-and-go, so was really hoping this would help. So far, nothing.... It does say it takes 4-5 weeks before you experience the benefit, so I will stick with it for now."
