Hello Beth!

Progesterone is produced within the ovary at ovulation, once we enter

peri-menopause we ovulate less and less, thus we start producing an abundance

of

estrogen and a lack of progesterone. Progesterone is needed to balance out

excess estrogen. Estrogen domanance can have a whole list of nasty symptoms,

weight gain around the tummy, grouchy-ness, fluid retention, the 'typical

menopause' personality! If only men knew what we poor gals go thru, <grin>!

How do you use your cream? Make sure it is USP progesterone. United States

Pharmacopeia (thus USP) sets standards for the quality of pharmacy products.

United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) Progesterone simply means progesterone

that exactly duplicates the progesterone naturally produced in the body, or

" bio-identical " progesterone. The title " USP Progesterone " differentiates

natural progesterone from synthetic progestins or progestogens. I was

instructed

to switch from arm to arm then leg to leg as to rotate the absorption sites.

1/4 of a teaspoon rubbed in really well. Too much of a good thing can be

bad so one must measure carefully. I used an actual 1/4 teaspoon at 1st, now i

buy a bottle that has its own premeasured pump. I wish you luck! Susie

Carol:

Saliva Testing is how you find out if you are LOW in Progesterone and actually

all your hormones. The test can be ordered from

http://www.zrtlab.com/Default.aspx I dealt with this Lab for years until a lab

finally was opened here in Canada (the only one in the whole country) a couple

of years ago.

Those of you who are using the progesterone cream, don't you need to get

tested by a doctor first to actually see " how much " progesterone you need?

Every body is so different, that I don't think the cream is a " one size fits

all " type of product.

Carol no . if you only knew how much hormone your getting from foods like meats

.. and teh DR want to give you more Estrogen when you hit menopause . now the

contrversary is even about soy products and too much estrogen .. we don't get

progesterone which is what we do need. read Dr Lee's book on progesterone

cream , he tells you what the regular Dr don't tell you . Jo

health mag they send me and they don't seem to sell it anymore. Just

wonder if it's been banned here as well. There was a big shakeup here

awhile back as to what supplements hfs etc would be allowed to sell.

The Nanny state for you! It makes me so mad when manufacturers are

allowed to put artificial sweetners and transfats and god knows what

in food.

I totally agree, we're treated like babies. Around the time Dr. Lee's book What

Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause was published in 1996, Progesterone

skin cream seemed to appear here in Canada in Health Food Stores for awhile and

then it was CLEARED from the shelves. Later it could be bought under the counter

so to speak.

It has surely helped a lot of us get through the worst years.
