Guest guest Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 , Is there a recording of Dr. Swarzbein's talk? LaurelHelen, when I read your post this morning I almost fell out of my chair. 100 ml of progesterone a day is sky high. Compare it to the 10 ml of compounded progesterone Dr. Swarzbein has me using morning and night on day 15-28ish and you can see.Oral progesterone doesn't work well. It has to go through the liver because it's going into your digestive track. Transdermal creams don't work well either because you get a bolus (big) dose when you put it on and then it tapers throughout the day until you put it on again at night. Same with transdermal cream estrodial.Dr. Schwarzbein did a 6 hour presentation on Saturday that blew the audience away. Common sense, facts, studies, and more common sense. She is a brilliant endocrinologist. If you're working with a gyn, a GP, or a nurse practitioner, they are NOT trained in hormones and don't have a clue what they are doing (at least most don't). From what I read, and what I'm experiencing getting off the wiley protocol, it takes a while to get excess P out of our systems.You need to find an endo who is smart...preferably one who has a ton of experience treating menopause, but not one who just treats the symptoms.If you want more info, email me directly.beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Laurel, we video taped the presentation and we are working quickly to get it ready. I'll ask them for a discounted price for members of this group. The info she presented was priceless. I'm helping them create a website over the next few months that will be a wealth of information and resources from her over 20 years of experiences doing this. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Hi.. I nearly fell out of my chair when I picked up my compounding cream and see i'm applying 1/2 gram of topical compounded C-progesterone 200mg/gm. This tells me I am taking 100gms a day, too. (I think) Is there a table I can reference somewhere for dosages? I'm going to call my dr. and ask what my recent blood check reflected. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 beth, I only peek in on this sight occasionally, but I read your post. I'm still struggling with creams and gels for estradiol. If not a pill and not a cream, then can you tell me what you use? Thanks, Lori Milas Helen, when I read your post this morning I almost fell out of my chair. 100 ml of progesterone a day is sky high.
