After inquiring about HRT for hot flashes/night sweats, and brain fog, my doctor recommended Bijuva, and let me tell you, after only 2 days, hot flashes- GONE! I have done a ton of research on bio identical HT, and I knew that was the route I wanted to take, so I was happy to discover that Bijuva was bio identical. In fact, it is the first estradiol/progesterone combination in pill form (which I p...
I took this for perimenopausal mood swings. Didn’t help with that or sleep. I have gained weight. I checked side effects. Rapid weight gain is one. I have stopped due to this reason plus questioning any benefit.

I am 60 Years young -very active, very athletic. Last period was march 2012. Started Bijuva 7 days ago. I am having cramps and back aches as if I were on a period! I wanted some HRT to relieve painful intercourse, however I will not continue with this and look for alternative hrt.

Have been taking Bijuva about 2 years. It has been a life saver feeling for me.
Took away major fatigue, helped with sleep, hot flashes gone, aches lessened, and vaginal thinning and dryness improved! Highly recommend it! Others say weight gain bit for me getting my strength back to exercise more helped me to not gain! Felt like my old self again! ????????????????????

Sudden onset hot flashes had me in misery. About every hour. Lab work confirmed I had zero hormones in my body at age 51. I asked doc to do what she would do for herself. Within a few doses, hot flashes stopped. Hallelujah. No more painful intercourse. Fast forward a year, I had to see doc for a renewal. The med didn’t show up (mail order). I decided to see how it goes without it. Three weeks later I realized the headache I woke up with every morning, the fatigue and listlessness, and the weight gain (15#) were quite probably due to this medication. Haven’t had a headache since I’ve stopped it, feel alert, and have lost 11 pounds. Hot flashes are definitely still there but very light- like short simmer instead of full boil. Haven’t had sex since, but will have some remedy on hand in case of pain. Read More Read Less

It’s a miracle. I suffered with hot flashes for 3 years - 3 to 8 a night. It has changed my life.

I have been taking bijuva for 9 months. It has helped with general brain fog. It has also caused me to lose a few pounds and generally look better.

I started Bijuva to control hot flashes. I haven't had any hot flashes since I started about 5 weeks ago. It's such a relief. However, for the last 6 days I've had a headache and also occasional malaise with the headache. It's more of a nagging headache now. I very rarely have headaches so I will stop taking the medication to see if my headache stops. If so, I may end up choosing hot flashes over a nagging headache. Other than that, it's been great.

This has stopped my average of 12 a day hot flushes and in turn, I’m not waking up every hour so my sleep has improved. My joints are sore very rarely now and even following running, they are fine (knee, hips were regularly painful before).
I am tired, not so much yawning all the time but just feel a bit groggy at times and I’ve noticed a regular headache in the last six weeks or so when I’ve never had headaches before. Weirdly, it seems to originate behind my right ear and sometimes affects my whole head. This is when I’m more likely to feel groggy.
I’ve been on bijuve for 4 months now. I’d say it took a good month for hot flushes to stop completely but then I’d been without oestrogen for about 18 months and I believe the longer you’re without, the longer it takes for a response.
I’ve always been on the slim side and I’d say I’d started to gain weight around my stomach and thighs in the run up to starting bijuve but I feel like I’ve lost most of that again and feel more like my old shape so wouldn’t say I’ve noticed weight gain; more the other way. Read More Read Less

No hot flashes. I do have fatigue at times but not sure it’s from this drug. No vaginal dryness or painful sex which was a fear of mine entering menopause. I am nervous about the chance of it causing cancer.

Excellent for hot flashes , my hair seems to be shedding a lot more since I’ve started it and I’ve also gained a lot of weight but it does help with sleep and nite sweats.

On bujuva for 6 months. Excellent response. 20 years of pre menopause and menopause symptoms reduced significantly: hot flashes 24/7, bloating, sleep loss, dry hair and weight gain. No regrets!

Medication, over 2 months, put me into a severe depression and suicidal state. I had been on HRT before and I'm still on it, so it wasn't just HRT. It was specifically Bijuva. I have no doubt it's great for some, but if you're depressed, don't feel like yourself, feel despair, come off and talk to your doctor. I got 100% better in days. Also, it gave me gallbladder pain.

Started taking this medication a month ago, in hopes that it would help me sleep better. Not only has it not helped whatsoever, but I feel bloated and have gained several pounds! UGH! Who needs that? ??

The night sweats have disappeared, sleeping well but I have gained 8lbs in two months. I need to find a solution without gaining weight.

Hello. Has anyone else been prescribed this HRT even though they are still having a monthly cycle. The notes that come in the box say for women that have had 12 months or more of a missed period. I have all other symptoms except this part as I'm still regular. Thanks xx

Leg cramps, kidney and back pain, acne and emotional crying. It’s like experiencing all those PMS symptoms again. Not enjoying this medication. Still having hot flashes.
