Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Patty, Here's a link for what I got. Using such a small amount, it goes a long way. I didn't want to use a combined estriol/progesterone product because of reading protocol for my symptoms, using .5 estriol every other day, gradually reducing to 3/2/1x/week (after estrogen receptors/levels were restored) while using progesterone for only half of the month/2 weeks. Prior to the estriol, I was using progesterone (from Kevala...their lotion) every day for 3, sometimes 4 weeks of the month. My progesterone had previously fallen and the stronger Kevala boosted it in a hurry (which I did not know). Anyway, my progesterone level became way too high, while my estrogen had dropped low. I went with a lower strength progesterone cream, from www.life-flo.com at that time. Kevala's lotion is very nice, seems to penetrate better. Their shipping is very fast, too. In retrospect, I appear to get over-saturated with progesterone on a normal dosage. My level went really high before, one other time. I had always been estrogen dominant, so the sudden drop in estrogen was a new frontier for me. I was ready to get radical to obtain some estrogen for relief of symptoms! The estriol from hormoneprofile gave immediate relief and reduction of symptoms. I actually began having some restful nights sleep, too. If you're struggling, Dr Lee's works are a super source. I've read a lot from Dr Lark and Dr Northrup, also, but Lee's hard to beat on info/case studies, etc. Good luck if you're trying to balance! Don't forget to saliva test! I think ZRT (Dr Zava) is great! http://www.hormoneprofile.com/estrogen.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
