Re: Sleeping badly is this normal

[Guest guest]

How long have you been using it? Progesterone also sensitizes the oestrogen

receptors so some people initially get symptoms of too much oestrogen.

Personally, I found it improved my sleep. But I didn't notice anything until I

had the first one week break, when my sleep was obviously worse again during

that week.

Hi

Many thanks for your reply I have been using it for a week so far but I have

started to have a real itchy head and greesy hair dont know if its connected and

having hardly any sleep I feel like exhausted inside but can't shut off I'm

thinking maybe I should stop it

No, that doesn't matter. If you have a monthly cycle you use it for 2 weeks

(the second half of the month) and have 2 weeks off. Did you get an instruction

sheet with your cream? Here are some:

Since your side effects sound appalling I would stop the cream and see whether

they go away.

Did you have a hormonal test showing that your progesterone was deficient (such

as one from Genova Diagnostics?) or are you just trying some to see whether it

will help?

If you give it a break and see what happens, you could try again with an

infinitesimal amount and see how you reacted to it.
