Pro-gest A Progesterone Cream_

[one more mile]

I am troubled by irregular periods and periods that just do not want to start. It has gotten better since I have been gluten-free but at times i have two and three weeks of cramping and pms and thinking that my period may just start tomorrow. A natural pharmacist suggested i try Pro-gest, a progesterone cream just to get regular. the progesterone came from yams and has no parabens in it.

I only know this much. We bought a natural progesterone cream for my dd. She used it once. Her osteopath said she didn't need it. I thought she had endometriosis. She had all the signs, instead allergic to wheat/gluten. He gave her vit B's and magnesium. Her terrible cramping and extreme blood loss became normal after a couple of months. A year later and she never complains. She is probably 95% gluten-free, she's 20 and doesn't live at home. She still takes a multiple vitamin when she remembers. If she doesn't she can tell the difference.

I would get an o.k. from the doc before using it b/c it messes with your hormones.

Google progesterone cream and hormones to see what comes up.

I've used natural progesterone creams and found them helpful, I have a slightly different problem of having my period every 14-18 days the progesterone creams reduced the PMS symptoms and when combined with gluten-free diet I can actually get pretty close to a "normal" cycle.

a good book to read is Dr John R Lee's "what your doctor won't tell you about premenopause" or another is Dr Randolph's "from hormone hell to hormone well" (both are usually available from the major book sellers)

I found natural progesterone cream very useful. I also use chasteberry and sage tea.

I used Pro-Gest for a while when trying to get away from HRT. Finally decided to heck with it all, and sweated it out for a while until it went away . Family history of breast and ovarian cancer--can't be too careful. Some say it helps, some say it hurts--changes from month to month, yes or no, so I decided to avoid the whole issue .

I was getting extreme night sweats and self-diagnosed myself into thinking I had peri-menopause. I really just need to go gluten-free and after I did my sweats cleared-up.

However, I tried Pro-gest for several months and it really seemed to help. You rub it on your breasts and stomach, so I would check to see if it is gluten-free. I don't want to start a non-ingestable talk here but, I am one of those people who are sensitive to skin contact.
