I have been using Bioidentical Hormone Therapy for a year now. I was diagnosed with almost zero progesterone, which threw me into an Estrogen dominance. My test was fine, just a little low. The treatment I use is a cream which is rubbed onto areas of thin skin 2xday. The difference has been nothing short of a miracle, at least in my mind. Mood swings have dissipated, foggy thinking is gone, I sleep thru the night (no insomnia), the weight has stopped increasing (I have dropped about 20 lbs. since starting treatment), depression is gone, hot flashes are gone (for now). I sound like a commercial now! 
I highly recommend getting a saliva test to check for all hormones. I did and feel 1000% better!
Oh and the hormone creams are compounded individually for each patient. So you will get what you need, not what everyone else is prescribed.

OMG- that sounds like a miracle. I've been thinking that I'm crazy. I'm at a major weight loss plateau, have developed belly fat, almost drown in my own sweat pools at night, and just sit at my computer in a daze most of the day when I used to be SO focused. Not to mention the fact that I cry all the time, am a complete bitch and have zero interest in sex. Hot.
Did you go to your regular doc or a specialist?

Find a doctor who will order a saliva test for you. I went to 5 or 6 doctors, from family physician to ob/gyn, before finding an osteopathic ob/gyn who specializes in hormonal imbalance treatment. I had everything tested. I was able to submit my testing to insurance for reimbursement but not all insurance will pay for it. Ask your regular doctor about it and if he/she will not order anything, ask for a referral to someone who will.
BTW, I noticed a dramatic difference in overall well being within the first 1-2 weeks of treatment.

Nice! I have an appt at a clinic on Weds. I'm psyched.
