Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if I should use progesterone?

A:  If you have PMS symptoms.  PMS Symptoms are those which occur consistently a week or 10 days before the period and stop with or shortly thereafter.

If you have Estrogen Dominance symptoms.  These symptoms are water retention, breast swelling, fibrocystic breasts, uterine fibroids, loss of libido, mood swings, depression, craving for sweets, and weight gain, fat deposited at hips and thighs.

If you have had a hysterectomy, oopherectomy (removal of ovaries), or menopausal symptoms.  Many women experience hot flashes following a premenopausal hysterectomy and in the beginning of the natural onset of menopause.  Natural progesterone cream is effective for relieving the symptoms of hot flashes.  Most women have reported a complete cessation of flushing within 3 to 8 weeks.  After menopause, estrogen continues to be produced from the fat cells; however, progesterone production virtually ends.

Osteoporosis.  Women over 50 years of age should use natural progesterone cream. Happy PMS may help to prevent osteoporosis.

Q:  Where should I apply natural progesterone?

A:  Natural Progesterone in a moisturizing cream can be applied to the face, chest, breasts, inner arms, or soles of feet.  The cream is readily absorbed and leaves no trace after a few minutes.  During absorption the cream bypasses the liver and goes to specific receptor sites where progesterone is needed.

Q:  What Exactly is natural progesterone and how does it differ from synthetic? 

A:  Natural Progesterone, a cholesterol derivative, matches exactly the chemical formulation of the body's own progesterone and thus causes no side effects. Manufacturers of synthetic progesterone  alter the chemical makeup of progesterone in order to create progestins.  Progestins in their altered molecular structure may cause many side effects, such as birth defects or abortion, fluid retention, epilepsy, migraine, asthma, cardiac, or kidney disfunction and depression.

Q:  Should estrogen be used without progesterone?

A:  Definitely not.  It is very important that natural progesterone be used with any form of estrogen.  Estrogen without progesterone can cause endometrial and vaginal cancers.  Estrogen blocks thyroid production and causes water retention; and it can cause fibrocystic breast disease, fibroid tumors and ovaria cysts.

How Do I Use The Cream?

Please note that every woman is different, so find the category below that best describes your situation:

Please Note: One inch strip of cream from the pump equals ¼ tsp.

IF YOU ARE:

Post menopause (not menstruating), have had a Hysterectomy, Oophorectomy (removal of ovaries), or have Osteoporosis:

Use ¼ tsp. twice a day. After three months, reduce to 1/8 tsp. twice a day. Do not use the first week of each month to give receptors a break.

Note : Occasionally, upon beginning use of natural progesterone, a post-menopausal woman could experience some break-through bleeding. This is the body’s way of getting rid of excess estrogen. If this continues longer than several months, you should consult a physician.

Menstruating on a monthly cycle:

Use ¼ tsp twice a day after ovulation (usually 12 or 14 days from the first day of menstrual flow) through day 26 of your cycle. You do not use natural progesterone while menstruating. However, if you experience menstrual cramps, try rubbing a small amount of cream on the lower abdomen. For migraines, rub cream on the back of your neck.

Pre-Teen and Teens 100 lbs or less:

Use 1/16 tsp. of cream twice a day after ovulation (usually days 12 or 14) through day 26, for 3 to 6 months. If symptoms return, resume using cream to maintain good hormonal balance.

Experiencing Endometriosis or Uterine Fibroids:

Use ¼ to ½ tsp. of cream twice a day beginning on the 8 th day of your cycle until the 26 th day. After 6 months, use ¼ tsp. twice a day after ovulation (usually day 12 or 14) through day 26.

Wanting to get Pregnant:

Use ¼ tsp. twice a day, days 8 thru 26 for two months. On the third month, use ¼ tsp. twice day, the day following ovulation through day 26. If there is a possibility of pregnancy,

DO NOT stop using the cream until you take a pregnancy blood test at day 26. If negative, then resume scheduled use. If test is positive, use as directed for pregnancy.

During Pregnancy:

Use ¼ tsp. three times a day from conception. In third trimester, gradually decrease and discontinue 2 weeks before scheduled delivery time. Apply primarily to abdomen, breasts, lower back, and upper thighs (where it will help prevent stretch marks).

NOTE : Do not use for at least one month after delivery if you are breast-feeding.

Breast-Feeding

If you are breast-feeding and experience symptoms of PMS, Post-Partum Depression, or Estrogen Dominance, you may use natural progesterone cream no sooner than 30 days after delivery. Use 1/8 tsp twice daily for three weeks per month until regular cycle occurs, then resume usage as a woman menstruating.
