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 Postmenopausal Symptoms "I have been on Bijuva for 2 years. I decided on HRT because I couldn't take the hot flashes, mood swings, and brain fog any longer! I literally thought I was going crazy. I'm 48 and dealt with perimenopause effects for 10+ years. At 45, I was told I was postmenopausal. I started with meds from a compounding pharmacy. It worked for a while and stopped. The progesterone pearls kept me wide awake at night. Anyway, Bijuva has been a lifesaver for me. I still cramp and feel bloated, but all the other things are gone. I recently noticed a little weight gain, which is huge to me. I will be looking further into things. Good luck to all in this journey."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "Been taking Bijuva for 3 weeks. I have gone up an entire pant size. I am retaining fluid in my legs and feet, and my abdomen is very bloated. I love that all of my menopause symptoms are gone, but the body change is uncomfortable, and I am not buying new clothes. Have call in to doctor for different plan or going back to no HRT and all of the wonderful symptoms of menopause."
