| 5 | Doctor said anxiety i thought its h | Iv been feeling anxiety so bad i thought i was losing my mind..no hot sweats like menopause suggests but palpitations racing thoughts feeling ill constantly..an electric surge feeling in my chest that never left..unable to feel relaxed..iv tried alsorts of vitamins etc. I could only tolerate diazepam but even this didnt solve the problem...other meds have made me even worse. I came to the decision i was oestrogen dominant and my age suggested this too. After much reading i realised americans like natural progesterone products so i purchased a biodentical one from ebay...Omg what a difference...i know using too much can cause progesterone dominance which is what believe makes you feel ill again so im taking it slow and not using too much..my pulse rate has lowered which i noticed first...i dont feel anxious which is amazing..my period hasnt been as heavy...iv only been using it 10 days so im so hopeful iv finally found something that works for me..menogest is what i purchased...read plenty before hand and dont go mad with it would be my suggestion. It hasnt helped sleep yet but ill hold judgement on this. | F | 42 | 10 days Smudge | 11/8/2017 | 5 | hot flashes | At first I felt great then after two months I felt worse. Hypersensitivity to foods,throwing up,irritated very easy,cry and the waves of panic for next two and a half weeks. Migration headaches(which I don't get normally). I even went to urgent care because I thought I would go crazy,sweating at night profusely..Went to my Dr on May 5. He raised my Zoloft and I went off the cream. Finally slept through the night finally.Today first day without headache and no more multiple panick attacks. I felt I was hold my live together with a string I'm feeling better and better every day I'd rather sweat at night than to go though such miserable suffering .i would never suggest to any woman. | F | 54 | 1 months 30mg | 5/20/2017 | 5 | hot flashes | At first I felt great then after two months I felt worse.

I couldn't sleep, I had intercystial cystitis, panic attacks, low thyroid, and the list goes on. I can't drink alcohol or coffee if I am not on progesterone. I take compounded oral version. Prometrium didn't agree with me, and cream doesn't seem like it's enough. | F | 48 | 2 years 300 | 3/14/2017 | 5 | Anxiety and migraines | None | I Love this stuff! I was having Terrible anxiety, panic attacks and migraines daily. Once starting this stuff it has changed my life. I now get about 1 migraine a month before my period and anxiety is so much better. I have not noticed any side effects. I use the prescribed kind though not the unregulated stuff in stores. | F | 29 | 3 years 100 mg | 1/6/2016 | 5 | Hysterectomy total. Bioidentical | Little tired | I am using bio identical not pharmacy for ten years. I do not know if that what caused depression and anxiety and if I stop what should I use | F | 65 | 1 days Cream | 11/12/2015 | 5 | Pregnenolone | No effect I took this two get pregnant because my progesterone was low I'm loving it. | Any women that has a hard time getting pregnant try using pregnenolone 30mgs they work. | F | 51 | 9 months 30mgs | 9/22/2015 | 5 | Low progesterone/multiple mc | High/drunk /sleepy | F | 27 | 9 months 200mh | 9/19/2015 | 5 | Pregnenolone now I'm 5 weeks pregna | I'm taking pregnenolone I got pregnant and still taking it until 16 weeks. | I love pregnenolone pills. Thank you. | F | 51 | 3 months 30mgs | 9/7/2015 | 5 | Low levels of hormones | None on the progesterone, but was taking estriol in the beginning with it and the estriol was the one that made me feel bad. Once I just took the progesterone by itself, I felt great. No more hot flashes, slept better, skin looks so much better and younger. I can tell when I need more because of the estrogen dominance symptoms, i.e. headaches, dizziness, aches and pains. I just take a little more of the progesterone and they go away. | If you are having problems with taking progesterone, make sure it is bio-identical and you are taking enough. Too little stimulates estrogen, hence the bad side effects. Also, if you are taking estrogen of any type with it, you cannot blame the progesterone! | F | 45 | 2 years 100mg 2X day | 7/8/2015 | 5 | to help my memory after seizures | Constant sadness,crying,pain in joints | F | 53 | 1 months 100mg | 9/12/2014 | 5 | Hysterectomy | Only good ones. Calmness and I sleep like a baby. | F | 54 | 10 years 200 | 1/28/2014 | 5 | hormonal balance | Bioidentical progesterone is fine - don't listen to the **ups on this board - they just don't want you to use it. It's great. It balances your hormones, keeps you mentally focused, more energy, no hot flashes, yes there is some weight gain, big deal, like 5-8 lbs, nothing that a little diet and cardio can't fix. Not only has it put me back to my normal self, my skin looks amazing, it's like I'm twenty again! | F | 44 | 6 months 100 mg 1X day | 12/15/2013 | 5 | PMDD | Tiredness for the first week, was hard to carry on activities | F | 29 | 2 weeks 22 mg | 9/27/2013 | 5 | Perimenipausal | Synthetic progesterone is awful! Women who take synthetic hormones are opening the door to insane side effects! Heart attack & cancer being among just a few... Progesterone is a natural hormone that can be increased by taking natural suppliments that will not cause cancer! It comes from fruits and vegetables and maintaining healthy diet goes a long way. But, if you are anything like me, you might need a suppliment - my body just isn't making enough. Anyway... I began taking ProgonB about a month ago. I did a month long saliva test (twice) & the test determined that I am estrogen dominant, and that I'm in the beginning states of menopause. I have horrible heart palpitations, night sweats, migraines that last three days during ovulation and my cycle... The ProgonB has helped a lot with these symptoms. I can now relax, my headaches are gone for the most part, my sleep is better, my anxiety is less, and my night sweats are better... Some symptoms I still have are hot flashes, nausea, and my heart is still beating rapidly &/or pounding - but it's improved. I'll be seeing a cardiologist just to rule out anything major. But it's important to note the progesterone protects the heart and when it's off balance it can cause high blood pressure and pounding. I see an accupuncturist & sadly, most western doctors are ignorant when it comes to the female body and our hormones. (But they figured out that Viagra thing, didn't they! LOL) Anyway, over time, estro | F | 39 | 1 months ProgonB | 6/2/2013 | 5 | total hysterectomy/ Fibrofatigue | Had terrible fibro/fatigue after received a flu shot following a hysterectomy in 1995 My ovaries and uterus were ruined by the use of a copper 7 IUD for over 15 years The bioidenticals got me off antidepressants, anti anxiety, morphine. Praise God!!! | F | 57 | 8 months 20 | 2/2/2013 | 5 | leg and arm tingling and pain | I started using OTC progesterone cream at the label dose of 20 mg twice a day. I felt good, but incomplete, relief from my muscle pain. I found that rubbing the cream onto the painful areas really helped a lot! Unfortunately, it seemed like this small dose caused water retention and made me feel really fat. | I found a website that talks all about using progesterone cream. They explained that using too little is what causes the water retention and other estrogen dominance symptoms. They recommended using at least 100 mg per day. Since my doc had prescribed 150 mg of oral progesterone (that I had not yet started taking), I figured that dose should be OK. I tried it and my muscles feel NORMAL for the first time in years! When the pain starts to come back, I just put a little more cream on the painful area. I have not gained any more weight with this higher dose and I feel so much better overall. | F | 44 | 14 days 100-200 2X day | 12/8/2012 | 5 | menopausal | I was perimenopausal at 38. Also, my hormones were never right after the birth of each child . Symptoms were terrible; doubling-over ovarian pain during ovulation and beyond, hot flashes every 15 mins, no libido and eczema all over my arms & legs. First tried the creams which just didn't work for me. Too up and down with symptoms. Also, it was difficult to keep to a regular schedule with the applications. Finally I came across a place that did bio-identical hormones that are inserted into you every 4-6 months. It is essential to have a blood test before insertion to check your female hormone panel: Estradiol, Testosterone and FSH. Doesn't help too much to check your progesterone through blood testing as it varies so much during the month. Found out my levels were alarmingly low. The estrodial & testosterone are the pellets that are inserted in your backside, with a local first (no kidding!) and the progesterone is taken orally. They don't have a pellet for that, yet. | The beauty of the pellets is that they dissolve over 4-6 months and if you are more active a certain time of day (greater blood flow), more of the pellets dissolve into your system. I am very athletic with a high metabolism, hence I have to get the pellets every 5 months. The first few years, it was every 4 months. My life has totally changed for the better. If you do this, make sure to keep copies of your blood test and chart your progress. Take charge of your health and help let the Dr. know what you need. As for periods, you don't have any if you take the progesterone continuously. Btw, I was doing that long before it became popular in Western medicine. I only stop the progesterone if I find my uterine lining starts to build up. Probably about every 6 months. Then restart when my period is completely done. | F | 50 | 6 years 200mg 1X day | 11/7/2012 | 5 | Menstrual migraines | If i take more than one, i get sleepy. A small price to pay. This medicine has literally given me my life back after over 30 years of debilitating migraines thay made me close to considering suicide. Do be sure that you get the compounded kind from a wellness pharmacy, NOT the Prometrium or generic equivalant as they are not the same. I take 100 mg morning and evening every day, except for when i feel a migraine coming on, then i take one every two hours or so till the headache is gone. I cannot comment on how it works for other sysmptoms, but for mine i can honestly say it changed my life! | F | 50 | 6 years 100mg | 9/5/2012 | 5 | Estrogen dominance, irregular periods | No bad "side-effects" - this stuff is wonderful! BEFORE taking bio-identical progesterone, I had bad PMS, irregular periods, facial hair, hair-loss, and weight gain, and adult acne. AFTER taking progesterone, I sleep easily, skin clearing up already, losing bloat, and energy levels are amazing. I will definitely keep taking this cream! | F | 39 | 7 days 30mg/day | 5/1/2012 |
PROGESTERONE (PROGESTERONE): Progesterone is a type of female hormone (progestin). This medication is similar to the progesterone that your body naturally makes and is given to replace the hormone when your body is not making enough of it. In women who are not pregnant and not going through menopause, this medication is used to restore normal menstrual periods that have stopped for several months (amenorrhea). Progesterone is also used as part of combination hormone replacement therapy with estrogens to reduce menopause symptoms (e.g., hot flashes). Progesterone is added to estrogen replacement therapy to reduce the risk of cancer of the uterus. This medication is not for use in children. Progesterone must not be used to test for pregnancy.
