For Menopausal Disorders "I went through full-on menopause at age 44 and was absolutely miserable (severe hot flashes, sweating, mood swings, brain fog, etc., not to mention potential uterus and osteoporosis dangers), so my doctor prescribed Duavee, which I loved. Then Pfizer stopped making it (?!?), so we decided to try Bijuva. Right away I noted stomach bloating but decided to stick it out for 2 months. It helped, but my vanity wanted slim jeans! So I went off. Well, the hot flashes kicked in right away in 2 days. Back to walking around with a fan, icing my neck, sweat dripping down my face and back in meetings. Not sleeping. Being irritable toward my family. After 2 months of that hell, I went back on Bijuva. Within 2 days I was back to calm, no sweat, no flashes, sleeping well, got a promotion, family time is pleasurable. I have resigned to going up a pant size (bra and tops are the same) & trying to be healthy with eating and exercise. I am also diligent about yearly exams and blood work. Hope this helps."

For Perimenopausal Symptoms "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."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "Been taking for 6 months. I have cramps often. Seems like I’m angry and irritable often. I feel heat under my skin in areas. Calling my doctor tomorrow. I want to stop taking this. I took another brand called Duavee for a couple of years with no side effects. I just got tired of paying $125 a month. These are $50. I think I’d rather pay more and get off of Bijuva."
