"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."

"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 my 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 started taking Bijuva for post menopause symptoms. Was on it almost a month. At first I did ok other than it causes vaginal bleeding. Then I noticed that my heart was racing after taking it. I went to the dr 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 a very high blood pressure and very high heart rate. I was told it was caused from taking the Bijuva. My dr along with my pharmacist daughter researched this medicine also and it can cause heart palpitations and tachycardia. My dr 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."

"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 vit d was supper low so I’m on prescription dose . Going back in a couple weeks to check levels."

"I started taking Bijuva 21 days ago for premenopausal symptoms. At first, it did ok 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 hrs after I took it. I had been noticing a week or so before that , 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! The 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 worse things I have ever experienced!!"

"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 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 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"

"I am finishing up my 3rd month on this medication. It did stop my hot flashes but I started getting back pain by my kidney's. Blood tests showed nothing. Now I'm feeling it in my gallbladder. I'm hesitant to stop because I do feel better, but have been worried about this medication hurting my body. My doctor has no idea about the medication, so to ask any medical professional about 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 does 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. Didn't say if it was growing but they did spot another small one. I'm on the fence at this time."

"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."

"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 I 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."
