For Perimenopausal Symptoms "I’ve been on Bijuva for about a month and a half, and it’s been so-so at best. I actually came here looking for reviews but decided to leave one since there aren’t many. The first two weeks seemed great - my skin looked better, I lost some weight, no brain fog, etc. However, after that, it’s been annoying to say the least - I’ve had near-daily spotting (usually 2-4 good days, then a day of irritability, and then 4-6 days of spotting with cramps - anything from brown to small clots). My skin is starting to look dry again, and I am incredibly sleepy about an hour after taking the pill. All in all, I’m considering just going back to the pill."

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 Postmenopausal Symptoms "Been taking for 6 months. I have cramps often. Seems like I’m angry and irritable often. I feel heat under my skin in areas. Calling my doctor tomorrow. I want to stop taking this. I took another brand called Duavee for a couple of years with no side effects. I just got tired of paying $125 a month. These are $50. I think I’d rather pay more and get off of Bijuva."

For Perimenopausal Symptoms "I have been taking Bijuva for 2 months now, and suddenly I have bleeding. At first, it was like spotting, then would stop, and a few days later come back. Now I have severe cramping pain in my right side, and the heavy bleeding started. This lasted about 4 days, stopped, and the bleeding came back. It has really helped my hot flashes a great deal, so I’m not sure if I want to continue taking this medication or not. My doctor says that the bleeding is not from taking the Bijuva."
