| 2 | Was bf my LO | Extreme mood swings, depression, severe headaches, nausea, pregnancy symptoms. | F | 22 | 1 days | 1/13/2014 | 1 | Heavy menstrual periods, PMS | Difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat, debilitating anxiety, panic attacks, major depression, oily skin and cystic acne, insomnia, loss of concentration and brain fog to the point where I began failing all my classes, excessive appetite, bloating, extreme anger, short-term memory loss... | Shittiest thing I've ever done to myself. Symptoms began right after I started the cream, told the doctor, who told me they were "normal" and would go away, foolishly continued using it, getting more and more angry/depressed/anxious until I almost killed myself two days ago with an overdose of sleeping pills. Nearly failed all of my classes this semester, broke up with my very loving boyfriend because I felt so bad that he had to deal with me like this, withdrew from all social activity, and spent days and days just lying at home sleeping all day with the shades drawn, crying or raging or just trying to breathe. One time, I was running up the stairs and when I got to the top my heart was beating so fast that I felt nauseous and dizzy, and threw up in the bathroom. My resting heart rate while on this cream went all the way up to 120 at some point. Scarily heavy periods with the worst cramps ever. Best thing that ever happened to me was running out of this cream and being too depressed and fatigued to go to my doctor's appointment. Every day after that I felt better, and now, two weeks later, I am starting to feel a tiny bit better. | F | 22 | 3 months 20mg 3X day | 11/14/2014 | 1 | PCOS/PMS Mood Swings | I started the Progest cream after hearing about it from a friend. I have only been on it for a few days and I am already having side effects. At first it seemed to be working the way it is supposed to, I was losing water weight..but then the insomnia, irritability, anxiousness set in. I feel like I am going to jump out of my skin. I have been incredibly irritable and starting fights with my husband over nothing. I am also constantly on the verge of crying. I have also had nausea/ severe abdominal pain. | I am going to discontinue use, and hope that these symptoms will go away. I don't know if this cream is interacting with another drug I am on (Yasmin BC, and Welabutrin, Antidepressant), or if I just don't tolerate it. Either way, I am not going to continue use and risk getting worse. | F | 22 | 5 days | 6/7/2008 | 1 | Eczema, PMS, mood swings | natural, bioidentical progesterone. flare up of eczema, almost immediate depression, crying fits, lack of motivation. | natural progesterone was not a miracle cure for me, but more of a NIGHTMARE. | F | 22 | 1 days | 11/13/2008 | 1 | Heavy bleeding due to Implanon | Began crying for no reason, skin broke out worse than ever before, which led to depression. | I tried it for 2 motnhs alongside the implanon implant and found it worsened my bleeding and state of mind | F | 22 | 2 months | 4/9/2007 | 5 | Terrible PMS and Mood swings | This is my third month taking 50-130 mg natural progesterone (progon B) orally for the 18-28th day of my cycle. Ihaven't had any side effects- when taking at least 100 mg/day I have almost immediate clarity, irretability and mood swings go away- its amazing actually. Before I was a nightmare and now its way way more managable- I feel like a new person! I have a really long cycle naturally about 39 days and the progesterone has helped get my period into a normal range 28-34 days. I feel way way better! | F | 23 | 3 months | 8/5/2008 | 3 | severe PMS | insomnia, some weight gain | WHOEVER SAID THAT THIS PROGESTERONE CREAM IS CAUSING BREAST CANCER AND UTERINE CANCER IS MISINFORMED AT BEST AND MALICIOUS AT WORST. YOU KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE BREAST CANCER AND UTERINE CANCER? THE HORMONES IN BIRTH CONTROL WHICH ARE NOT BIOIDENTICAL. A NASTY LITTLE HORMONE CALLED PROGESTOGEN IS IN THE BIRTH CONTROL PILLS, RINGS, PATCHES, ETC. IT IS NOT BIOIDENTICAL. DRUGS AFFECT EVERYONE DIFFERENTLY AND IT MAY BE HELPFUL FOR ONE PERSON AND NOT FOR ANOTHER. BUT IT IS NOT CAUSING THE FEMALE CANCERS. QUIT TAKING ARTIFICIAL BIRTH CONTROL HORMONES (WHICH ARE MANIPULATED TO BE NON-BIOIDENTICAL SO THAT THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES CAN GET PATENTS) AND THEN YOU WILL SEE A REDUCTION IN THE FEMALE CANCERS. | F | 23 | 1 weeks 20 mg 2X day | 7/8/2010 | 1 | heavy periods | Depression, moodyness, bleeding (the opposite of what we wanted) | I've had a period for two weeks now after starting the dru, and I just had a period two weeks before using it. I have ITP and we thought by going on the pill it would lessen my bleeding. It did the opposite and my valueable platelets have dropped enormously and they were very hard to get them up in the first place. My doc wants to put me on a pill with more estrogen but I'm afraid to take anything else. | F | 23 | 14 days | 11/19/2004 | 1 | Low levels | Anxiety, insomnia, bloated, water retention, increased thirst, increased hunger, crying spells, moodiness, weight gain, increased hunger, hair loss, dry skin. | PROGESTERONE CREAM IS A SCAM. I REPEAT. PROGESTERONE CREAM IS A SCAM. It has literally ruined my life and I only took it for 3 days! The people that say it works for them are either lying or delusional. Literally over night it caused 5lb weight gain, which I hope is only water weight...I can't fit into my jeans and my stomach is flabby. I'm so so tired and I've lost plenty of hair. I've been reading that it can take a few weeks for it to level out so I'm praying for a miracle right now. Please don't fall for this scam. How dare the promoters of this prey on people's misery for money. | F | 23 | 3 days 20mg 2X day | 11/7/2016 | 2 | PCOS, lack of period for 10 months, | weight gain, severe headaches, depression, moodiness, general lack of motivation. | I was not aware of the side effects, except that my doctor said it would-if anything- lead to weightloss... I'm vegetarian and go to the gym everyday with weights and cardio - and yet I was putting on weight rapidly. Today's the first day of not taking the cream - I didn't get a period- no bleeding at all. It is a good idea to be very cautious!!! My dosage was one mil everyday.I am hoping get rid of the negative impacts this cream has had on me, I am starting with an Auyervedic Practitioner to help my body produce its own hormones (from a different paradigm of health/wellbeing). I wish everyone really well, your feedback is very helpful. | F | 24 | 3 months | 9/24/2006 | 1 | AMENORRHEA | sore nipples, bloating, abdominal pain. | i stopped taking the drug 3 days ago and am still experiencing symptoms. | F | 24 | 4 days | 8/8/2007 | 1 | PCOS | Good nights sleep, but woke up very tired. The entire day had a severe headache and was very hungry. | I had a very bad experience with birth control (EstroStep then Yasmine). I gained 50lbs. in 5 months. So, when I had the bad side effects after 1 day I knew. might not effect you as bad. | F | 24 | 1 days | 2/18/2008 | 1 | Estrogen dominance/Facial hair | Severe anxiety, panic attacks, depression, tremors,shaking, muscle twitching, lost 20 pounds in six weeks, mental confusion, paranoia,joint pain , insomnia. Bio-identical progesterone. After first application on progesterone cream i should have stopped.My muscles started to ache the next day i even had to wear a brace on one ankle to be able to work all day it was that bad. I broke out with acne, had bloated stomach and i was feeling drunk during the last few days of application. I had severe anxiety, cried all the time, i seriously though i was going to go into a mental institution i felt like i was going crazy. I almost lost my job, my boyfriend and all my friends believed i was making it all up. | I found a great dr who listens to me and looked at me like why in the world would you ever take that. I had gone to a hormone dr who prescribed me progesterone cream, thyroid pill, adrenal rebuilder, b-12 shots its all BS! do not take this i regret ever putting this into my body. I am so thankful for this website i had to read it every morning to help myself not go crazy. My dr prescribed me xanex to help the anxiety i take melitonin at night to sleep. please god let the symptoms end soon. do not poison yourself. | F | 24 | 3 months 10mg 1X day | 8/14/2012 | 4 | irregular periods/polycystic ovary | The only negative side effect is some dizziness/faint feeling every few days. No real pattern in occurrence, but it kind of feels like im floating underwater | It has evened out my mood swings, lessened my anxiety, and made my periods regular (used to get them twice a year, now in get it every 50 days or so) | F | 25 | 3 months 40mg | 3/27/2015 | 1 | Ovarian Failure, Mimic estrogen | extreme Drowsyness, dizzyness, mild heat/hive rash all over skin (skin felt like it had a sun burn when touched), mood swings to an extreme, fast heart rate, mild heart palpatations anxiety, numbness in face and lips, slight numbness to touch on skin (as if it were coming back from being numb), urinating often, dehydration, hurt to pee, bloated feeling, slight cramps, tender breasts, back aches, feeling fatigue | took with alora patch, and took only for 3 days, 1st 2 days no symptoms and days progressed and continuing the pill symptoms got worse or more. also taking along with my thyroid medicine. missed a few doses in between and waited for the next day to take as normally would, never added days to finish medicine, days missed were just that missed. | F | 25 | 4 days 100mg 10X M | 8/30/2016 | 1 | The worst nightmares EVER! Vivid ones. DO NOT BUY THIS CREAM! | F | 25 | 2 days | 8/14/2019 | 5 | irregular period,hashimoto thyroid | At first,nausea set in for a few minutes. Later on, I begin to feel good.. As with anything new, it takes your body time to adjust!! I feel much better and I feel that it has helped me in numerous ways!! I now have an intrest in sex that I haven't had in years and the goiter around my thyroid is GONE!!!! I reccommend this for anyone who has thyroid problems and has missed periods.. It has taken me years to discover natural progesterone cream!! The side effects are worth it!! Hang in there! | F | 26 | 3 weeks | 3/27/2007 | 5 | Maintaing Pregnancy | Bloating Tiredness Irritablity | I have to take progesterone natural suppositories and I use natural cream too when we try to conceive. I take it 3 days post ovulation until I either get pregnant (then I take it for 12 weeks) or until I find out I'm not pregnant and stop. Yes parts can be unpleasant the first couple days were the roughest for me after ovulation, but truthfully it has raised my horrible progest levels that caused 2 miscarriages and allowed me to have my miracle son, so I'm using to conceive again. To me it's not that bad and the results are worth it! | F | 26 | | 4/26/2006 | 4 | No ovulation, no balance | Sleep better, less water retention, clearer skin, some breakthrough bleeding | I have hashimoto's hypothyroidism, and after I stopped a birth control pill, I didnt start ovulating (found from blood hormone tests, where progesterone in lutual phase was basically 0). I was started on 100mg of bio-identical progesterone cream 3 cycles ago. I still am trying to get my cycles under control (as am experiencing breakthrough bleeding), but after 8 months of not ovulating (and not making any prog while estrogen was fine), gaining weight, feeling menopausal at 26 yrs, the progesterone has definitely helped. | F | 26 | 3 months 100mg 1X day | 2/20/2011 | 3 | to stablize pregnancy | reaction at site of injection, mood swings, frequent crying. | F | 26 | 30 days | 10/3/2005 |
