Hi andrea. I would get on the Progesterone as quickly

as you can to stop the bleeding and cramps. You can

order it overnight delivery from:

http://www.naturallybetter.net/1bioidentcal_progesterone.html

or call Carla at 1- and place your order

over the phone if you don't have any now. This one is

2% Progesterone cream, that is 20 mg. per 1/4 tsp. We

make about 40 mg. normally when not pregnant. Use it

twice a day, 12 hours apart for 24 hour coverage.

If 20 mg. x 2 a day doesn't stop your bleeding, up the

dosage each day until it does.

Or a less expensive kind is from www.ourhealthcoop.com

but I am not sure if they have overnight delivery.

Probably.

Both kinds are bioidentical USP Progesterone Cream.

I had the same problem back in June and ended up in

Emergency. They told me to take Advil (Ibuprofen)

because something in it slows down that type of

bleeding, but the dr. said he didn't remember exactly

what pathway it involved in the body. I got home and

took some and it did help, but not nearly enough.

So I ordered this Progesterone that day for overnight,

got it the next day, and within two days the bleeding

had stopped completely. Of course I am VERY overweight

and had to use 240 mg. per day (still) because I have

SO much Estrogen and xenoestrogens, so you might not

need THAT much. But it will stop the bleeding.

Make sure to only get bioidentical USP Progesterone,

not synthetic. I use the cream form because my liver

is bypassed that way, but you can get the pill form by

prescription called Prometrium from your Dr. and most

Drs. have no problem with prescribing it.

It will probably help your adrenals too, since the

adrenals use Progesterone to make Cortisol.

Have not heard of any contraindictions with Naproxin

and HC, but it's easy to find out on google or

wikipedia or etc.

Hi, ,

Thank you so much for the info!

Actually, I have bio-ID P cream (Kokoro, only 1.85%, but good enough

for today) and decided to use it last night as a last resort/experiment.

Well, the cramping did subside somewhat after the first application,

and I thought for sure that it had to be the placebo effect, but

within 15 minutes I started to feel a bit calmer as well.

I did a couple of applications last night, not knowing if I was going

to screw things up more, but I was more " bleeding " than having typical

menstrual flow, and so I certainly was easily surpassing the dr's

" are you soaking a pad an hour? "

Finally I slept between 1:30-3:30am & it slowed slightly, then I slept

from 3:30-5:30 and again it slowed.

By 6:30 it was going full blast again, so I started the P cream again.

I was hoping to NOT have to use it, because I was going to do the

Diagnos-Techs 11-vial saliva test for female hormones throughout the

month, but I guess that will have to wait.

I will try the Advil today. It usually does nothing for me for

cramps, but I need to slow the flow!

I'm sure the P will help the adrenals...I'm sure that the low P is a

contributing factor to the adrenal decline...

I usually use this site to check drug interactions...it's pretty good:

http://www.drugdigest.org/DD/Interaction/ChooseDrugs/1,4109,,00.html

Thanks!!!

Hi ,

If it were me, I'd go ahead and apply as much P Cream

as it takes to stop the flow, maybe just slap on 100

mg. every 12 hours or so until it stops.

That's what I did (except I slapped on 250 mg. in one

sitting, and then again 12 hours later) when I had

that problem and it did stop the bleeding.

After the bleeding is stopped you can back down on the

dosage bit by bit until you see exactly where you can

stay that keeps your periods from going bonkers and

bleeding like that.

Nope, it's not a placebo, it really works - the lack

of Progesterone is the reason that bleeding is taking

place in the first place. Aside from other causes it

might be too, such as cysts, fibroids, etc. that can

also cause that type of bleeding.

It does work great for calming and sleeping too, if

you're deficient in it when you apply it. Wonderful

stuff. I was an insomniac for 27 years until this past

summer when I started doing the Progesterone, and

haven't had a problem since. That's when i KNEW it

wasn't a placebo, lol. Well, that and the fact that I

wasn't bleeding like a sieve anymore.

And all my Estrogen Dominant symptoms were gone within

a few days too, the sore breasts, the carb cravings,

the irritability, etc. etc. etc. I really thought wow

this is too good to be true! But it was just that I

was back to normal and no longer out of balance. I'd

been out of balance for so long I had forgotten what

it felt like to be normal again, sheesh.

Now I'm really anxious to see on my next Cortisols

test what the Progesterone has done for my adrenals,

too. I've been taking Cortisol for a couple of months

now, but am going to have to wean off here shortly for

other medical reasons. So we'll see how the adrenals

hold up with just the Progesterone. Since I wasn't

making any Progesterone at all most of my cycle, I'm

sure the adrenals are loving this!

Anyway, good luck, and I hope it all calms down for

you soon!

If you're progesterone is out of balance with the estrogen, it can

cause some serious bleeding issues. I ended up with adenomyosis from

this and came very close to having a hysterectomy. I was able to

find a doctor who specializes in bio-identical hormones and have

cured my adeno by taking micronized progesterone. I can easily

identify with the bleeding problems, mine were horrible. I ended up

anemic because of it, also had very bad problems with flooding, huge

clots and severe pain. My old doctor just kept telling me it was

normal for women my age. Total BS.

Hi ,

Yes Prometrium is bioId. It's an oral progesterone in

a capsule with peanut oil in it rather than a cream,

and most Drs. have no problem prescribing it. It's

pretty common.

The cream you're using has a pretty low amount of

Progesterone in it. I ended up using a teaspoon and a

half every twelve hours, and that cream was 2%.

If you just can't get the bleeding to stop, definitely

don't wait much longer, go see the Dr. to get it

stopped before complications develop as the other

women were discussing. Provera is bad, for sure, see

if there is anything else she can do.

Please let us know how things are going for you, ok?

I would have ended up with the same scenario. My doc wanted to take

my ovaries also because at 48 (at the time) of course, he thought I

didn't need them anymore. When I started doing some research on

hysts and losing my ovaries and cervix, I found the links to bio-

identical hormones and thyroid and cancelled my surgery. My doc did

not agree. At my next appointment about 6 months later, he could not

believe that the adeno was gone. He was just stunned. I was already

having some serious PMS issues and knew that surgical menopause was

not going to be fun. I remember asking him about it and he told me

not to worry, he'd put me on estrogen only (because of the hyst, I

wouldn't require the progesterone). I shudder to think how miserable

I would have ended up, going into full blown menopause overnight and

then seriously compounding my estrogen dominance problem by putting

me on estrogen only. From what I've read putting a woman on

synthetic estrogen only is like writing her a prescription for breast

cancer.

I still have a problem with recommending the Prometrium because of

the suspension in peanut oil and processing involved. I would

recommend the compounded progesterone over the Prometrium. I know

I'm in the minority here, but it would be a big pharma product as far

as I'm concerned and is marketed to be the only natural form of

progesterone, which is just not true.

Hi Linn,

Totally agree with compounded bio id Progesterone by

far.

But with what sounds like an uninformed doc who is

talking about giving Provera, at least Prometrium

could be something the doc would probably go for right

now to help stop the bleeding without kicking up too

much of a fuss about it. Unless the doc would

prescribe compounded, which would be GREAT!

Oops, have to take that " uninformed doc " comment back.

said in another post that her doc IS open to

bio-id hormones plus she is working with a new DO who

can help with her adrenals.

OK...heard back from the DO's office...he called in an rx for

compounded progesterone. Woohoo!

In the meantime I am also getting sublingual bioId progesterone from a

trusted source, which will arrive tomorrow (faster than the

compounded) so one way or another hopefully still madness will be

resolving soon, and I will be on the road to good health!

This will also be great to discuss with the OB/GYN who is open to

bioID, but seems not to know what the protocols are. She's so nice &

definitely seems open to more than just what the Rx companies shove

down the drs' throats. (She seems like she was a real brainy type in

school, so maybe she asks herself a question or two & researches...)

I definitely think that the OB/GYN has potential. (Especially if all

goes well & I am feeling well & menstrually " dry " for my second

attempt at an annual visit next month!

The DO seems to have lots on the ball, but I have some " questions "

about some of his approaches. However, one of his approaches was to

use progesterone cream every day, which I was skeptical about, since

that's not what the P cycle is. But maybe he had a plan to try to

avoid something like this. Don't know for sure.

I'll do more armchair quarterbacking about the DO in a separate post

when I'm feeling a little less " drained " .

More later...

And thanks so much to ALL of you for your concern & responses!!! I

really adore all of you & owe so much to all of you!

(LOL!!! Can you tell that my 2nd dose of thyroid kicked in?! LOL!

Last night I don't think I was quite this warm & fuzzy!)

Isn't this also common with low thyroid? My cramps,

heaving bleeding got better once i addressed my

thyroid. Then later severe headaches at the time of

my period lead us to test my progesterone, which was

low. But my cramps and bleeding had improved by then.

If only I knew my thyroid issues would alert me to so

many other problems.

YAY!!! that's awesome!! I'm so glad for you!

I did want to add a comment or two about something you

wrote though about cycling the Prog.

There is much more information out now that shows that

taking bioidentical Prog. every day isn't harmful.

More drs are waking up to the fact that cycling it

isn't even really necessary, and some have stopped

recommending doing it that way altogether.

Our own bodies make Prog. every single day, in varying

amounts from low to high according to where we are in

our cycle. We don't naturally stop making it for half

our cycle, or even for one day of our cycle.

Going completely without P for several days or weeks

means being almost totally estrogen dominant for those

days (depending on how much P you are making on your

own), which isn't a good thing.

There are still many who would disagree with that

though, so in the end I think it's very individual.

I take it every day and don't cycle it at all, but due

to my being so overweight I am VERY estrogen dominant

and feel those symptoms return within a day of not

taking the P cream, no matter where I am in my

menstrual cycle.

So, I'd not worry so much about sticking so much to a

pre-set cycle and go more by your own body's symptoms.

It's really the synthetic Progesterone that causes the

problems, not the bioidentical.

Especially until you know exactly what dose you need

to stop that bleeding, if it were me I'd take it every

single day at least until the bleeding was totally

under control. And then I'd continue taking it even

during my period, just at the lower dose our bodies

would normally make during those days. Your uterine

lining needs Progesterone in order to not shed

excessively during your period too.

A side note: Did you know that the guys who invented

The Pill inserted the cycle of taking a week off to

have a period just because they felt that women would

buy the product better, it would seem more natural to

the women that way? But that taking such a break to

have a period wasn't even needed, nor harmful NOT to

have a period? (aside from the synthetics not being

good for us, that is)

Anyway, that's my 2 cents on the cycling method. SO

glad you have got such fast results with the dr. and

the prescriptions , that's AWESOME.

Linn,

You describe my scenario exactly. I was so overdosed on HRT! Life was

miserable. My two gyns put me on over nine different types of HRT before I got

my own saliva test done, found thyroid issues and got off the HRT

merry-go-round.

I had severe pain in my left breat and left under arm for more than a year and

not one doctor or nurse practitioner knew what to do, where to look.

I found progesterone and after taking it, all of my breast and under arm pain

went completely away!

Ditto on the total BS! I had the same problems & my gyno (a woman, no

less) responded the same way as yours. I hope she's home cursed with

dry-heaving from heavy clotty, cramps every month. They're normal,

right? Me, I'll take sailing along with happy periods on self-

prescribed progesterone cream.

- How about calling a local compounding pharmacy near you and

finding out the names of doctors in your area that use them and

prescribe bio-identical progesterone? Here's a list of links for

locating one:

http://www.smart-publications.com/articles/findcomppharm.php

Then ask your doctor if he/she would consult with them about the

proper way to prescribe it. If the doc won't do that, tell him/her

you'd really rather work with them on this as a team, but if it

comes down to it, you'll just get buy the bio-identical progesterone

OTC yourself.

For example, here's the one I use - Progesta-Care:

I would get on Prometrium and use is as a suppository (100 mg) and take one

orally at the same time to assure you are getting something in your body.

I have taken Prometrium orally and used it vaginally. I think 200 mgs a day

for a while, should stop your problem.

I applied several applications last night & it slowed it down a

I applied it all through the day today, and it was bad, but not like a

Yeah, I actually increased my naturethroid by 1/4 grain yesterday,

because I'm sure it's not helping, although I'm sure that low P is

causing much of it.

Funny, because the n-throid increase wasn't even noticeable. Before I

was on adrenal support, even a 1/4 grain made a huge difference (as

well as causing some problems).

Thanks for the P info, , and for the support! I will be taking

it until the bleeding stops. Believe me, I've had more than plenty

for one cycle!

Hi, ,

Thanks for the ideas!

Actually, the OB/GYN does refer patients to the local compounding

pharmacy, then they request the bloodwork & make recommendations to

her as to what she needs to rx. Which is why I like her & think she

has great potential! When was the last time you heard of a dr that

consults with anyone, let alone takes advice from a pharmacist?!

It's just that in this instance, when I had next to no history with

her, and I think she was afraid of the adrenal insuffiency issue, I

didn't think that I had the time to walk her down the path, etc.

But, on an ongoing basis, I think she would be willing to learn &

consult with the DO as well. Plus I'm working with Dr. Mark

who is giving me LOTS of great info. He's willing to talk with drs too.

So, I think for now she's a keeper.

Thanks for all of your support!

Thanks, !

I will be receiving the P sublinguals within the next couple of

hours...hurray for Fedex! So I will start with those, and can

basically use enough of those to make it stop.

Can't wait to get all of these crazy hormones balanced!

Thanks for your support!

same as mine...Phyto B???
