Then what was your point in bringing up IVF?

Again, your statement:

Estrace is used, as I said. You were wrong on at one.

I listed the other hormones used, which I doubt fall into your classification of bioidentical hormones.

All of them fall into your "patentable junk" category.

What are these bioidentical hormones of which you speak that are used in IVF?

Have you actually looked at the vast amount of peer-reviewed studies on HRT that are not sponsored by drug companies? I appears that you have not.

She is forcing standardization in compounding, at least in the pharmacies that carry the WP. That is how there will be a clinical trial in 2007.
Not sure I'm following the first sentences there, but the final point comes across. Haven't you kind of put the cart before the horse, so to speak, in advocating an untested hormonal regimen to who knows how many women?

Do you really need us to do this for you?
