A member asked:

Can a 19 year old take bioidentical hormones instead of conventional birth control pills to regulate hormones?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Simple answer: No....bioidenticals are not meant to be taken for hormonal control in a woman of childbearing years.....if you wish to take it when you are menopausal...it has an effective 30% reduction in hot flashes.
