Natural Progesterone Cream

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone

I have suffered with terrible PMS symptoms this month, the worst thing

being incredibly tender breasts for two weeks prior to my period, this

has been happening for a long time and I think it is time I did

something about it. I have been reading up about oestrogen dominance

and am wondering if this is what I have, all my fat and I am quite

slim elsewhere is around my stomach. I am going to take the plunge and

order some natural progesterone cream. I remember not long ago a

discussion on this forum about the best place to purchase it from.

Would anyone be able to give me the link as I cant find anything

definitive in the files (maybe just hypo brain though).

Thanks Love Lizzie

Hi Lizzie,

I get mine form iherb.com - but bear in mind that orders over £18 including shipping will attract VAT, but this is still a cheap source. Some people say you must only go for the ones which make the progesterone from soya, others from yam, but I buy both & use one in the morning, the other at night. I like both Now & Source Naturals, but have also used many others including Emerita (which I have paid £39.50 for a 2oz on private prescription before getting more wise to the availibity of it from abroad).

Dr P suggests the one made by Well... - cannot remember the name, but he is a consultant for them & gives free consultations paid for by them, so he would obviously have to recommend their product. Personally I go for a much cheaper one.

Fiona, it certainly would help if you could get any possible

adrenal issues out of the way once and for all, so I would certainly beg,

borrow or steal to get the 24 hour salivary adrenal profile done through Genova

Diagnostics. See details in our FILES section under 'DISCOUNTS'. It looks like

we need to do a process of elimination here to find the culprit.

I just really wanted to post about my experience with NP. Strange really! I

started with NP back in December applying days 14-26, and had some interesting

results....bloating, painful periods, dry skins and constipation much

improved....plus my hair thickened up a bit, hair fall decreased...also eyebrow

hair started to return.

Also mood swind and concentration increased..as did my typing skills..

However the downside is extremely painful cystic acne and rosacea, with a

vengeance, like never before. I did some research and discovered that other

women had experience this, however it is not well documented.

I had to stop taking it. I just wonder if my thyroid actually benefited from

all of this, and if whether symptoms of oestrogen dominance were affected, I

have no idea.

At present I am trying simple things like liquorice tea, no alchohol to see if

this will help.

However now that I have stopped cream, hair fall is awful and old symptoms have

returned.

Is it possible that my adrenal's need help? Might the liquorice tea help?

I am weird individual, as what seems to work for so many does not work for me!

Anyone with any help here, most welcome!

Thanks for reading !

All the best

Fiona

>Hi Fiona, I find you comments re acne interesting. I've been using Serenity

cream (progesterone) for about 3 months (24 days on and 6 off) and notice spots

on my neck at the sides (are there any glands in that posiition?) (this was mild

before) it seems a lot worse now -- wondering if the Serenity cream is the

culptrit?? I've not really noticed any improvements in anything else, but I'm

such a wreck it's hardly surprising!!

HI Isabel,

Many thanks for replying:- I am sorry to read that you are not feeling that

great. I do sympathise. I too would describe myself as being a wreck! So I

know just how you feel.

I do wonder about NP. It is just possible it is the cream that is causing the

problem. I have read, that initially, if you are oestrogen dominant, it can

take a while for hormones to sort themselves out. Things apparently get worse

before they get better.. So I have read.

I wish I knew. One thing I did read, was never apply cream to fatty tissue

areas, as cream will not be absorbed instantly, but can take time and cause

problems with adrenals. Not very well explained, I know, but I'm sure you know

what I mean.

Here is a link to Powersurge website which discusses acne whilst using the

cream:

http://www.power-surge.com/php/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t1732.html

I found this, and thought it was quite interesting. I don't think that NP is

the magic bullet. It may not be the answer.

My feelings are that adrenals have to be working well?

Just to say, that you may not need progesterone. See how you feel.

I do hope things improve for you.

Can I suggest you try some liquorice tea, apparently this helps with

progesterone levels in latter part of cycle. Plus very soothing for stomach.

Tastes good too. (also for adrenals)

I hope this helps.

Thanks for replying

All the best

Above is interesting, as I haven't had my hormones levels checked I wonder if I

am getting the progresterone requirement right. Interesting about where to

apply it, I usually do tummy or thighs - the fatty bits! So where is the best

place to apply do you think?

I am going to leave it out for a month and see how I go.

thanks all

Hi ,about where to use on the body, . I use mine on my thighs and on my inside upper arms.If i use on my chest, it becomes inflamed and tender. so try useing it on different parts of the body if you are having problems. Angel.

Hi All,

I got this from the Serenity website.

Serenity should be applied to the fatty tissue areas of the body where it is

stored for use as needed: the chest, buttocks, thighs, hips, upper arms and

lower abdomen. It is important to massage the cream into a different area each

time -chest in morning, buttocks evening, thighs next morning, hips evening,

arms morning etc.

* Please Note:- At the onset of using Natural Progesterone Cream some women may

at first experience an increase in " oestrogen dominance " symptoms. This is due

to the Natural Progesterone " waking up " oestrogen receptor sites. If

experienced, reduce the amount of Serenity Cream, as this condition is only

temporary, will soon disappear and then you may then resume normal application.
