Infertility is, most simply put, not being able to conceive a child despite carefully timed and planned intercourse over the duration of a one year period. The only symptom of this is, unfortunately, not getting pregnant. While it may be an easy concept, the result is destructive and heartbreaking, putting a halt to deliberately planned family growth.
Unfortunately, there are numerous and wide-ranging causes for infertility in women, some of the common culprits include:
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
- Endometriosis
- Uterine Fibroids
- Menstrual Irregularity
- Medications
- Cervical Mucus Problems
- Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
- Failure to Ovulate
- Early Perimenopause and Menopause
- Age and Weight Factors
Luckily, most infertility causes have a common factor: imbalanced hormones. Creating a life comes down to chemistry, and if the ingredients aren’t balanced, you won’t get what you’re hoping for.
Women are beings who are blessed with an abundance of estrogen and progesterone that provide them with the innate ability to cultivate and deliver life. However, those hormones can skew and the imbalance can work to prevent the necessary reproductive processes from functioning optimally.
Bioidentical Hormone Treatments have helped countless women restore their optimal balance, allowing them to conceive and have supported their healthy pregnancy, carrying them all the way through to a successful and safe childbirth. Bioidentical Hormones are the most organic and natural treatment, eliminating harsh and potentially damaging compounds that can harm both mother and child.

We are determined to discover the root cause of your troubles and provide a safe, understanding, compassionate environment for women to be able to discuss, ask questions, and restore your hope for your future family.

Find Answers To Frequently Asked Questions About BHRT
Beginning a Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) protocol typically comes with several questions. We’ve gathered some of the most common questions related to starting BHRT and answered them here below. If you have any further questions or need any clarification, please contact specialists at Fig Tree Wellness at (805) 586-3432.
How Is BHRT Different From Regular HRT?
The main difference between bioidentical HRT and other forms of HRT is the kind of hormones that are used. In regular HRT, the synthetic hormones used contain additional chemical components that allow the drug manufacturers to patent their chemicals. At best, these added components do nothing for you. At worst, your body may recognize them as foreign chemicals and they may cause unpleasant side effects.
In BHRT, the hormones used are bioidentical, which means that they are the exact chemical structure as the hormones naturally produced in your body. This means there is no risk of your body not accepting them. Plus, they are derived from natural plant sources such as yams and soy.
Can I Buy Bioidentical Hormones Online?
While you may find websites claiming to sell bioidentical hormones, there are many risks involved in purchasing hormones online. First, it is often difficult to trace the origin of these products, meaning they may not be regulated for accuracy. This leads into the second problem, which is that it is very hard to be sure of the ingredients of these products. You may not be getting hormones at all!
Even if you find legitimate bioidentical hormones online, without seeing a doctor you can’t know for certain which hormones you need, what dose you need them in and what form of BHRT will work best for you. Here at specialists at Fig Tree Wellness, you will receive proper care and treatment while experiencing minimal side effects.
What Form Does BHRT Come In?
Bioidentical hormones are prepared by a compounding pharmacy where they are produced into several forms including: pills, patches, subdermal pellets, creams, injections and more. Everyone responds to these various forms differently, and your BHRT doctor can help find the form that will most benefit you and your body.
What Is The Cost Of BHRT?
The cost of BHRT varies by the hormones needed, the doses needed, the form of BHRT, and the length of time that you receive treatment. For a more accurate quote, please call specialists at Fig Tree Wellness at (805) 586-3432 to schedule a consultation.
Is BHRT Covered By My Insurance?
Because insurance plans and providers vary considerably, there is no way for us to provide a blanket statement. Your plan may cover BHRT under certain circumstances. The best course of action is to call specialists at Fig Tree Wellness at (805) 586-3432 to discuss whether we accept your current insurance plan and provider. After you call us, we recommend contacting your insurance provider as a follow-up to ensure that your treatment is covered or to discuss how your treatment may be covered.
Are Bioidentical Hormones Safe?
When prescribed and supervised by a BHRT doctor, BHRT is generally safe. Any risks or side effects associated with your particular treatment will be reviewed thoroughly before you begin BHRT.
What Conditions Are Treated With BHRT?
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is used to treat a number of conditions caused by hormone imbalance or that result in hormone imbalance. In some cases, BHRT is used to treat the underlying condition while in others it is used to treat the symptoms. You can find some common conditions that BHRT may be used to treat listed above.
What If My Question Is Not Listed Here?
