yes...i have the bloating. i am going to see a gasterontologist after

Christmas because i feel like my intestines are just worn out from the

hypo...probably malabsorption or leaky gut or at the worse...crohn's disease.

but I have

bloating about every night...and pain in the pelvic area.

i know that my uterine lining is thickened (because of previous ultrasound)

but hope that Armour has helped that. i feel my pain is more intestinal than

reproductive organs...but i could be wrong.

Wild Yam progesterone creams can cause

abdominal bloating (abdomen like a drum, not necessarily

intestinal gas) in some people, resolves

slowly over time (even several weeks or months) after ending

progesterone cream.

The non-micronized rx progesterones can cause intestinal

side effects in some people, like excess gas, sometimes extreme.

Prometrium is a rx micronized progesterone that can likely be

tolerated by persons with reactions to OTC progesterone creams.

I had this for a few yrs during meno and it worked very well.

Thyroid women can have more intense meno symptoms, and sometimes

the more natural but sophisticated meds such as Estrace and

Prometrium for a short time at the minimum effective amounts

can be helpful. But I wouldn't take unless absolutely necessary,

for devastating and disabling meno symptoms.

My own experience as a thyroid PT with Vitex herb (chaste berry) was

also extremely deranging, and this herb is mentioned glibly

all over the internet.
