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.    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  for unbalanced hormone level Two days following just a dab of Natural Progesterone creme each day( which I had made up for me at a compounding chemist that is very highy regarded by my Natural Medicine Doctor) on the inside of my arm, I had the most awful cramp/period like pain which developed into full blown natural birth labor pains, including the need to bare down. I am 67 and have not had periods for over 30 years. I sat on the loo for over an hour thinking OMG I am about to give birth or miscarry at 67 and sexually asleep for 15 years. I couldn't stop bearing down thinking I was going to pass something via my virgina. Then I bleed like the first day of a heavy period and the pain went, just like that, I called my doctor who perscribed the Progesterone next day and he was surprised that I had such a reaction to it, and using such a small dose too. I have since have had a D&C or scrape and they found a fibroid on the back wall of my womb which the Progesterone may have initated esterone to be released, My friend has being using the Natural creme for many years and has had no problems in fact she feels great using it.

a dab 1X day		 8/1/2011
 1  Estrogen Dominance Nausea, night sweats, irritable, diuresis. Feels a lot like PMS to me. Don't need that at my age. Also, painful hands - weird. I'm a RN and feel this is not a simple medication. I hope to get off this 'natural cream' and get back to my normal. Way too powerful for me and natural doesn't mean safe, at least not for me. I hope to avoid environmental estrogens more and work on other safer adjustments to diet. F 71 6 days
1/16th tsp 1X day		 12/14/2010
