questions about natural progesterone/vitex

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

I (34, no children) have been living with pretty awful breast pain for

several years now. Most things that are commonly recommended I found

pretty useless - vit B6, E, go off pill, no caffeine (though I will

not give up chocolate :-), increased fluid intake ... nothing. Also

have spotting towards the end of my cycle (2-5 days on and off before

period). Had my hormone levels checked, all fine. Am somewhat

overweight, but not grossly so, and lost 10 pounds this summer which

had no effect.

I found info on natural progesterone cream, but a) I'm hesitant to

throw any hormones into the mix when I have been happily hormone- and

migraine-free for almost 2 years now, no matter how natural, and b)

call me silly, but I would really like to see proof as in good ole

double blind studies that that stuff works and is not dangerous.

Same goes for vitex.

 

Anybody who has been there done that, or can point me towards studies?

 

Thanks,

Anna

Here are 3 remedies that might be of help to you. Of course, you know that choc could be causing some of the breast pain due to the caffeine in choc.
