Guest guest Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 This is just my understanding- from what I've read, and from my experience with the low doses of progesterone that I am using: In the middle ranges, more progesterone relative to estrogen tends to bring the period earlier. Also, a sharp drop in progesterone application can cause spotting and/or earlier start of a period. Women 'lengthen' their cycle when they apply more estrogen in the first half of it (estrogen builds the lining). However, when the levels of the both hormones are high, the lining may become unstable with more estrogen, and start shedding earlier as well. If I was in your situation (I am not using estrogen myself at all), I would gauge the cause of the short period by slightly increasing your estrogen- and see if that would give you a longer period. Never change the dose drastically- just a bit at a time. You may need to carefully play with your dosing for a few cycles before you get it right. But once it's right, you'll know that's what is right for you. > > Hi everyone, > > I just completed my period 1 week ago and now it's starting up again!!!! What type of hormone problem is this?

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Oh, as I said, my experience is with a low-dose progestrerone application (for estrogen dominance, no perimenopause yet). If your progesterone dosing is sky-high, you may also be bleeing more often. In that case, try to decrease progesterone a bit at a time- and see what it does. If your cycle is getting longer- great, but if your symptomes of low progesterone return in the process- add just a bit of estrogen instead of decreasing P next time. Again, proceed slow until you get it right. That's the key. > > > > Hi everyone, > > > > I just completed my period 1 week ago and now it's starting up again!!!! What type of hormone problem is this?

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 What are the symptoms of low progesterone? I was once on a compounded triest sublingual and compounded progesterone, 100 mg. I bled too often so the compounding pharmacist doubled the P dose to 200 mg. Then I bled constantly. The progesterone fixation seems to have originated with Lee and really has little to no research behind it.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Irritability, anexiety, rage, water gain- especially every time I hit the ovulation days, and throughout 'PMS' period. That's how it was all my life since I started my periods. Adding 1/4 dose of Wiley P cured this completely. Not only mood, but apearance, as well. I don't have 'fat days' anymore. I always lifted weights but couldn't get my body fat below 20 %. It prevented me from competing when I was really interested in doing it. Now, without any cardio, I am down to 18 % of body fat (116 lb at 5'6 " ) due to keeping water weight to a minimum at all times during my cycle. > > > > > > Hi everyone, > > > > > > I just completed my period 1 week ago and now it's starting up again!!!! > What type of hormone problem is this?
