Re: Progesterone – Help!

[Guest guest]

Betsy,

I have been working on my own hormonal issues for quite some time, and

although eating a high fat diet has remedied some of them, nutrition solutions

are

certainly more slow going and cannot replace the needed hormones for pregnancy.

I am also low in progesterone. I am not presently trying to get pregnant, so

I am trying to increase my hormone levels my eating more fat and rejeuvenating

my adrenals. But I think there just may be a point at which taking herbal

forms of hormones is needed. I have no advice for what your friend should take

hormonally while pregnant, but there are progesterone creams (not drugs) that

can be a solution to any problems she has after the baby. Yes, the best advice

you can offer her at this point is to eat a healthy WAP diet with lots of fat

for her and the baby (including cod liver oil).
