Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 ! ha! no Sh*T! I too would love for them to know what it feels like to be dosed so highly with P. I'm going to tell my hormone prescribing dr all about this because he really means well, he's young, and he's open minded - but he's the one who prescribed the mega doses of the P. I want to be honest with him because I believe it will help others. C To: rhythmicliving From: merryr@...Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2007 20:58:31 +0000Subject: Re: Where to get low dose P suppositories? Apparently, doctors have not spoken up about this dosing and they just write their little prescriptions without a care about what 200 mg of P vaginally DOES to a woman who is not trying to hold a pregnancy. Amazing isn't it? I couldn't even use 45 mgs. When I asked for half a dose of the Prochieve, the drugstore said that is doesn't come any less than 45 mg. And the thing that kills me is that my doctor thought 45 mg vaginally was too little!!I would love for THEM to see what this feels like and see if they would take it!> > > > > > >> > > > > > > ,> > > > > > > > > > > > > > I am confused as well.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I just wish they would give ME some information about WHY I must use all of this P. It is possible that we all do not NEED that much P but no one will come up with PROOF. I can take all the P in the world and still get cancer. > > > > > > >> > > > > > > ,> > > > > > > > > > > > > > I am confused as well.
