I am considering particiapting in a research study regarding an investigation medication currently being used in the UK. It is bazedoxifene acetate/conjugated estrogens (BZA/CE) for the treatment of menopause.
I went through an early menopause. I'm 47 and have only had one period in 2.5 years. I actually feel pretty good now that I am on the other side of it but I have small bones (osteo risk) and frankly don't care if I ever have *it* again. This isn't fair to husband and we're working on our marriage and intimacy and this could help.
Back to the study. I will receive thousands of dollars worth of testing for free (blood work, exams, mamaograms, ultrasounds, bone density, etc.). I need to have all this done anyway and I need to try something for my M. I can discontinue the study any time.
I'm a little worried about weight gain and also there is a painful procedure called an endometrial biopsy that I'd have to endure.
Any thoughts?
