What I have read is bio identical hormones do not give you the same risk as the synthetics. That is why I am trying them. She did say my estrogen was abnormally low 11.2 when it should be between 100 to 160 so that would explain the hot flashes, insomnia etc. Also progesterone and testosterone is compounded in the cream with the estrogen by a compounding pharmacy.
