wiley protocol

[Guest guest]

thanks laurel and others for responding to me the other day when I

felt so confused and afraid because of what I had been reading about

others and their health issues while on the wiley protocol. What I

didn't know at the time I wrote the email is that my doctor had only

presribed 1/4 of the actual wiley dosage when he had a compounding

pharmacist make it up for me. I don't think he ever told me that. I

guess he must not have realized that I am the type of person who

researches everything. I am still not sure if the dosages are right

or not but I guess it will be a learning experience. What has been

happening to me while rhythmic dosing is that my periods are coming

too early like on day 17 instead of 28. Does anyone have a

suggestion? My doctor is not always quick in responding. Also does

anyone know of any evidence besides wiley's book that a bleed is

important in hormone replacement. I know WIley thinks so but do we

have any evidence since the book was written that this is a good or

necessary thing. I am only fifty so it didn't take long for my

periods to start back. Any feedback would be appreciated.

THanks,

Chris

Dear

I have found that there is a very common misconception that the WP is

one dosage and one dosage only. That is not at all true. Your doctor

should have blood tests to see what your levels are and then adjust

after 3 months of using the protocol. This is what is said on the

official website of WP (thewileyprotocol.com)concerning your issue of

an early bleed:

" Increase the P-4 by two lines BID *for one day* by placing it on the

labia, and if the bleeding doesn't stop then let the period happen.

That means *stop using the progesterone* and start counting your new

day 1 from the bleed day. Early bleeding of this nature indicates

that there wasn't enough estrogen present during days one-12 to make

a good strong attachment for the lining. Then due to not having

enough estrogen during your peak days there was not enough

progesterone receptors in place for the progesterone to hold onto the

lining. The one day test of increased progesterone to stop the

spotting gives the progesterone a chance to " speak louder " for a day,

but if we don't have enough receptors for the progesterone then the

lining won't hold. The early period means we need more estrogen.

Increases are made in increments of two lines in the morning and

night per month. Symptoms and blood work must be evaluated together.

Talk to your doctor and explore the options. "

You must be patient when doing any hormone replacement therapy. It

takes time for the body to adjust and absorb the hormones. The reason

a period is necessary for optimum health is the flushing of the

lining of the uterus is a normal condition of a healthy uterus for

many reasons. It means you are not pregnant which is the only reason

short of menopause that a woman would not have a period and still be

cycling normally. It is also extremely important to have your levels

checked every few months until you are feeling great and cycling

normally. At that point blood tests every 6 months are recommended.

I hope that you will continue your journey with WP and give it a

chance to correct the imbalance in your body. My health is what it

was at age 40 and I feel fabulous (I am 55). It took me a while to

get there but it has been well worth it.

Much luck to you!
