Downside of Bio-identical hormones

Dear All,
I went on bhrt and felt great, but smelled horrible. I went to a nurse practitioner who prescribed it per my suggestion and told her about the odor and she said she'd never heard anything like this before. I contacted the compound pharmacist in the midwest and was told that if you have a history of candida, progesterone, which is soy based, will exacerbate candida.

I hope this bit of info is helpful to you women out there!
