adrenal, progesterone question

[Guest guest]

I seem to do very well, initially, on progesterone.

I always thought that that was because my body needed it and was

possibly converting it to some cortisol..(of course, don't have any

proof of that, but i know somehow it was helping my thyroid function

better)....

However, then after 7 to 10 days on progesterone (and this has been

ever since placed on progesterone---both orally and transdermally) I

start to feel bloated, depressed and FULL in the abdomen.

I was told by a Dr a bit back that some women just do not tolerate

progesterone.

Does anyone know if a higher dose of progesterone either helps the

adrenals function, or does it diminish it in some way?
