RE: RE:patty Re: progesterone

[Guest guest]

Hi Stacie,

I am very estrogen dominant and have had dangerously high levels of estrogen. I take ProGone progesterone sublingual tablets and have had no symptoms like have been described here. The problem I have had is that my progesterone was over treated by a doc previous to Dr. Leu and we have had a heck of a time getting it back down. I, too, am tiny, 5’4” and 100 pounds on a heavy day. So I guess we are the anomalies with regard to weight and hormones.

Kenda

Patty,

Let me ask you this typically if you are estrogen dominant dont you tend to

battle with weight. I'm very tiny and that's why I found it strange that I

would have estrogen dominance. The first time I was tested I was low in

estrogen the next time I was low in progesterone so thats why we went with

the progesterone. I dont know I think I will stop the progesterone, I sure

dont want to fall back into that brain foginess that took me so long to get

rid of.

Thanks for your help,

Stacie

I would never go on anything without Dr Lee's book and a reputable company like www.salivatest.com to test my hormones via saliav 1st,then treat according to their docs recommendations. Then I would follow up with another test. Another thing, always have your thyroid tested 1st, as it is the master gland , and if off whack, will deplete and throw others off. Love, julie
