Guest guest Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I jsut use up a month suppley of life-flo pregnenolone cream 15 mgs / day. I feel nothing from this I have a bottle of life-flo progesterone cream 20 mgs left that I used before and did so great on it. Problem is my levels went up over the top for pregnenolone my Dr. said it back filled into Preg. So I stopped using it for 8 weeks. Now my labs for both are every low again. Progesterone is back at <0.5 range <1.4 ng/mL and now Pregnenolone is below range at 9 range 13 - 208 ng/dL When I seen this I asked my Dr. should I go back on Preg. or Prog. he said no I feel he is wrong about this. Just by the way I am feeling. So today I am stopping the Preg. I went back on it some weeks ago and feel nothing from this. I am going to try the Prog. cream but think 20 mgs is too much. How much dose your DH use per night I am thinking this helped to keep my Estradiol levels down on them I was 7 now off them I am 21 pg/ml even my SHBG came up some. Would every other day work or should I just try it again every night. At the time I was on this I was doing to much Arimidex thinking my Hot Flash's were from E2 being to high. Turns out it was from being to low. I am now on Aromasin doing 12.5 mgs of one half a pill every 3 days this is working great. Now I would like to see if the Prog. cream every night or every other night might help to lower my E2 levels even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Phil, Is it bad to have to a high pregnenalone level? I've never heard anyone state negative consequences from too of a value.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Funny that you wrote this today. DH just sent me an email saying he's running low on the preg so time to reorder. And I was thinking I was going to let it run out and put him back on the progesterone. Why? I feel his estradiol has increased because he's put on some weight in the gut and breasts, and he was a little " soft " last time. On progesterone he has too much libido and he's never soft. In woman, they say to take progesterone because it balances the estrogen, and this should be taken regardless of whether or not you have a uterus. So if this applied to men, then a small amount does make sense. I just give him a dab of my compounded gel before bedtime, and it amounts to about 6-10 mg, really is just a dab. It most definitely helps him sleep better. Barb > > I jsut use up a month suppley of life-flo pregnenolone cream 15 mgs / day.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Thanks I wonder if I can pump my Prog. cream 20 mgs per pump into a jar and keep it. This way I can use half of it. http://www.iherb.com/Life-Flo-Health-Progesta-Care-Plus-Body-Cream-4-oz-113-g/91\ 93?at=0 Co-Moderator Phil > From: Barb <baba@...> > Subject: Re: Question for Barb. > > Date: Thursday, April 7, 2011, 1:29 PM > Funny that you wrote this > today.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I don't know I don't feel it's good to have anything on labs above the top of the range. My Preg. was here was my test for Preg. on Prog. Pregnenolone, LC/MS/MS 262 high range 13 – 208 ng/dL. This I feel is very high.
