Here form the proverbial horse mouth:

"What are Bioidentical Hormones?

Bioidentical hormones - or bio identical hormones - are derived from naturally occurring sources, such as yams and soy, and are designed to replicate the same chemical structure as the hormones that are produced naturally by our bodies. Based on your hormone levels, a specialized compounding pharmacy can individually tailor a bioidentical hormone regimen specifically designed for you.

On the flip side, synthetic hormones are intentionally different. Pharmaceutical companies can't patent bioidentical hormones because each regimen is specifically formulated to treat each patient on an individual basis. Instead, they manufacture synthetic hormones that are patentable

Now the stuff people inn the link above pander to the gullible is not regulated by anybody because they are not sold as prescribed drugs but as nutritional supplements. So you do not know really what they are giving you, so yes, I stand by my assertion that is a Russian Roulette

With a Masters of Science in Biochemistry, an MD in "Cancer", a Ph.D. in Biotechnology and a Masters of Science in Engineering, I am shocked you had to ask Wonderdyke what the definition of bioidentical and then had to google it.

This sorta of stuff is small fries to your academic profession. You should have known the answer.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy

I'm, uh, taking Estrace right now.  This isn't "an herbal supplement".  It's prescribed to me by an endocrinologist.

Micronized 17ß-estradiol is what "Estrace" is.  It's also available to be bought without a prescription by online providers.  It's also in no way perilous in a way that ethinyl estradiol (one of the more common semi-synthetic steroid hormones used in HRT) isn't.

It's misinformation to state that all providers online are giving you sketchy yam boob pills, because they're selling, online, right this instant, pills which are exactly identical to the stuff I pop in my mouth twice a day.

I guess i should have ask you waht do you mean by bioidentical ?

Whoa you're a doctor? I thought you ran some financial firm or something.

Seems people here don't believe you Jen...

I am hoping one of the moderators is seeing this posting because you are revealing information that I confided to you in a private matter conversation. relaying on your confidentiality as a priest of an Anglican church.

Now you are revealing that information without my consent, and using that information to try to shame me as in a personal attack on Christmas eve, shame on you.

[Annah]

Jen61, that isn't how one defines "revealing confidential information."

You may think of it as a personal attack; however, I see it as someone pretending to be a medical doctor and giving out HRT advice. That's not only unethical, but it can end up deadly. You could give someone advice here and say "trust me, I'm a doctor" and someone who believes you can get hurt. In real life you can go to prison for that.

Oh...I'm not a priest in an Anglican church although I use to be a children's pastor there. I am now with the United Church of Christ.

Don't act like a drama queen after she put holes in your arguement.

You were the one who said you were a doctor, financial advisor in some top fortune 500 company, whatever.

Why should we believe anything you say? Your attacks on other members reveal that you're full of it...and as an alpha (fe)male...go ahead and call me out. I dont' care.

I see right through you.

I agree there are dangers to self medication.  But as Wonderdyke said Estrace is available online at certain places and it is any not different than we can buy in the US.  My PCP actually told me to finish out taking what I had went I switched from self medication to being monitored by her.  She also just wrote the prescriptions for the same dosages of the same medicines that I had been taking myself because all my blood work came back great.

In today's world it is very easy to find a therapist/Dr. combo that will prescribe HRT if you have the courage to ask them so why risk self medication.  And on top of that it is much cheaper with a legal prescription.  We don't need to use FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) to scare everyone straight.

In the first world, in the privileged world, it's easy.  If you have the money to see a therapist, to see an endocrinologist or trans-friendly doctor (of which there are precious few, know that— I travel two hours for my prescriptions and I live in a metro area of two million people).

People self-medicate because they feel they have no other choice, most of the time, and they shouldn't be told they're risking their lives for doing so when, in most cases, they aren't.

Basically, I could care less what you lie about.

I'm serous. You could say you're the president of the PTA club or any other thing. But there are two things you have done that rubs me the wrong way and believe me, it's not personal' it's more ethical than anything else.

1. The pic of a girl u used as an avatar. This got my attention because someone used my pic as an avatar and pretended to be me. Trust me, it doesn't feel good when someone takes your identity. You feel violated and then you feel angry because you spend months fixing the things the pretender did "in your name." Thank you for taking it down tho.

2. When you pretend to be a medical doctor and then give out medical advice and opinions. Anyone can give opinions but when you attach yourself as a doctor, then some people may believe you and then take your opinions as medically sounding facts. This could get someone killed or disabled. Also, it's illegal to pretend to be a doctor. There's a reason why it's illegal. People can die from faulty information.

I understand why people self medicate.  As I said before I did for almost 2 years (most of that time was just Anti-Androgens).

WOW, I live in the buckle of the bible belt (upper north east TN - 1.5 hours to either VA or NC).  The first therapist I asked (admitted from a PFLAG list) and my PCP both were willing to help me.  This therapist is likely the closest to me of any around here even.  My therapist, PCP visits, and HRT are covered by my insurance (at least so far ).  I pay $25 for either office visit and my HRT is $10 a month for both E and AA.

The population of the biggest of the tri-cities is only 60k and the entire area is only 0.5 million and I have had no problems at all.  What general area do you live in that is worse than here even?  I want to make sure we don't move there when we finally get tired of how backward this area is.
