They did a segment on it on ABC's 20/20. They had a middle aged couple use it and she said that it did seem to help somewhat. Here's a link about the segment with Dr. Tim Johnson. http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=230011&page=4

Anyone have any feedback to report?

Cindy,

I haven't heard of that, but I took Avlimil for a while last year and it didn't do a thing for me. If anyone has any concrete feedback for increasing libido, even a little, I'll be glad to hear about it.

I have heard from a number of sources that Avlimil does not work at all. I looked at the ingredients and it is basically soy isoflavones with some estrogenic herbs and valerian thrown in. Hot Plants does not contain any of the ingredients in Avlimil. I actually bought some, but haven't tried it yet. One thing that did boost the libido for all three of us who tried it is Femarelle. After taking 2 capusles a day for 30 days, three of us who tried it noticed a definite libido boost. You can see our thread in "Bioidentical Hormones" board. Unfortunately, in our cases we noticed pronounced water retention and weight gain. In my case about 3-5 pounds. So you have an increased libido, but you expand like the Goodyear Blimp. I got off the stuff since I had no desire to buy bigger bras and clothes. But you might want to try it if you are desperate.

Hi All Where can I order Femarelle. I would like to try it. Do I need a prescription? Thanks Chilly

I tried two bottles of Hot Plants for Her (2 month supply). I didn't notice any difference I am on a quest to find something that works!

I took myself off the Climara patch, went on a herbal tincture that has Black Cohosh as it's main ingredient as well as some other herbs (one of which is motherwort which is great for menopause symptoms) and Maca. Works great for the libido!!
