For Menopausal Disorders "I have just stopped this drug Bijuva. Took it for 4 months, and it did help greatly with my menopause issues. Then, about a month ago, I began feeling unwell. Headaches, fatigue, tension, weight gain, and even had a TIA at work! I almost died. The ER did every test they could think of... CAT, MRIs, heart scans, bloodwork, heavy metal tests, vitamin levels, thyroid, hormones, etc... Perfectly healthy! I still have brain fog, a constant headache, weakness, and moments of nausea and faintness. I truly have no idea if it is Bijuva, but I am not taking any chances."

For Perimenopausal Symptoms "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!"

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 Menopausal Disorders "I've been on Bijuva for 5 months. Hot flashes gone; however, I get severe migraine headaches. They remind me of the ones during perimenopause when progesterone levels dropped. I'm thinking about cutting it in half, but it is an odd-type capsule, so unsure if that will work. But it is a higher dosage than 'low dose' estrogen therapy. Early on, brain fog improved, but it appears to be coming back. It's still worth it for me to be on! I'm looking at other anti-aging treatments. Feeling well, being alert and sharp, reduced pain in joints, and no hot flashes are my priority. My insurance will not cover it, but I used the coupon on the website and pay $50 per month."
