Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Ok, I was doing research trying to figure out some health issues I'm having and came to find out it's probably pre-menstruation symptoms from low progesterone. So, research indicates natural progesterone lotions can be applied and convert into simliar molecules as the progesterone already in our bodies. And usually, it would reduce depression, decrease PMS symptoms and all that. But, I'm curious if anyone has used this stuff and if it's really worked. I just bought some and started using it yesterday, not long enough to notice change of symptoms yet. But I'm hoping it does work because that would be awesome to not have my urges to eat all the time and what not that comes with my pre-period symptoms. Any experiences, please tell away.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Nichole,I started using natural progesterone cream about 2 1/2 years ago. I was having menstrual migraines (which lasted 1-2 days) 2 weeks before my period (ovulation), although when they started, I didn't realize what they were. After lots of research and finding out what they were likely due to, I started using the cream. The next cycle I only had a normal headache and after that--no migraines at all!The additional advantages for me were that my thinning hair started growing again and the typical "middle aged" facial hair diminished greatly :>)Also, my hubby and daughters confessed that my.... hmmm, how should I say it, my "emotional attitude" was more balanced. I didn't know I had any unbalance! LOL! They didn't even tell me about it until after I'd been using the cream for 3 or 4 months! (maybe they were afraid to before??? LOL!) I'm very glad I gave nat. prog cream a try---I don't plan to ever be without it. A couple of things I would say in general about it-- not all nat. prog creams are created equal. There are varying strengths. It is possible that a woman would not see any benefits if she's not using a strong enough product. I would also recommend using an organic cream and one that doesn't have a lot of unnecessary ingredients.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 I use wild yam cream that I make myself. For me it does help, but with menopause. For me though menopause is like PMS at Mach4. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 hi im in peri. i use organic excellence progesterone cream. works wonders! i love it. all of my symptoms are gone. if u r in peri, make sure to get the one without phytoestrogens. if u r in menopause its ok to use the phyto. the key regarding the prog cream tho is to make sure the prog is USP grade and is within the 1st 6 ingredients, otherwise it wont work. when i tried other brands that did not meet the criteria, they did not work for me. angelasue nritton <theherbalteapot wrote: I use wild yam cream that I make myself.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Let's all remember that supplementing hormones makes the body lazy as there is no longer a need for it to work. My preference has and always will be Wild Yam, Chaste Tree Berries and Dong Quai in a base of grain alcohol and distilled water. These herbs encorage the body to get busy and start producing more of its own hormones. I handled my menopause in 4 days on the Female Formula. I began getting hot flashes and that was not fun !!!! I started taking the Female Formula and after 4 days forgot to take it ever again as there was never another problem. Now I'm not saying it would work this quickly for everyone. Everyone is different. I have done regular cleansing and been on a great diet for years. Organic Solutions manufactures both a Female Balance formula and a Female Formula that work wonders. The Female Formula has other herbs that aid anxiety and mood swings as well as balancing the hormones. Remember also that meat and dairy - eggs, milk, cream, cheese, yogurt etc - all have hormones in them. Organic has less (no artificial ones) but still has naturally occurring ones. These hormones interfere with your bodies hormones and cause an imbalance. So my vote is for using these natural herbs and eating fewer meat and dairy products.
