| 1 | menstruation | Felt sick to my stomach---so I quit. After I stopped the dug I had suicidal depression and felt totally out of control. | I was on a high dose and my doctor said that progesteroen does not cause depression---hello read this website. Then I tried provera again about a year later and the same thing happened. | F | 31 | 7 days | 5/21/2006 | 5 | post partum insomnia | None! I finally got some sleep. | It sounds like progesterone cream (I took progest) works for some, but really sucks for others. Seems like a gamble. It definetely worked for me though with no side effects | F | 32 | 14 days | 2/2/2010 | 4 | Low progesterone during pregnancy | Dizziness, irritability, mood swings, depression, fatigue, loss of appetite, dry mouth | F | 32 | 5 weeks 200mg | 4/26/2014 | 2 | weight gain around stomach | I haven't taken the cream yet but was considering it. I exercise consitently and maintain a healthy diet and have not been able to lose weight since I turned 30. It's very frustrating. I thought, perhaps, that this could be do to hormonal imbalance. I read that natural progesterone could assist in weight loss. But from what I've read on this site, most have experienced weight gain....how can this be? I did order the cream but have not received it yet......I'm scared to use it now - - anyone have any suggestions? | F | 32 | | 6/15/2008 | 2 | IUD - Mirena | Angry Mood Swings, sometimes tense and frustrated with everything and everyone! It certainly works as a birth control but the side effects are not worth the control method. Experinced some blood spotting, but only 2 days out of 2 months, never got my period at all, have just had the Mirena taken out because I cannot bare the mood swings anymore. Had the mirena for just under 2 years and never had a full period the whole time. | It doesnt work for me, makes me angry, unrational, frustrated and depressed. | M | 32 | 2 years | 1/21/2009 | 1 | Estrogen dominance pms | Calming effect while taking it then follicular phase was depression anxiety mania insomnia hot flashes Then recently severe depression insomnia breast tenderness back pain while taking it. I'm done!! | Don't mess with your hormones!!! | F | 32 | 2 days 200mg | 11/20/2014 | 1 | Alternative Birth Control for migra | Am a very happy and clear headed person. After 2 months severe anxiety, extreme brain fog (literally couldn't think/ concentrate), blurred vision, no appitite, panic feelings,confusion, slight depression, left hand went numb (feeling now 3 months later), and when I went off of it lost 1/2 my hair. I have NEVER felt this bad in my whole life. | Wow, was that awful. I am a VERY healthy person and gynacologist took me off normal estrogen based birth control pills to progesterone b/c I have headaches. She said, " less risk of stroke w/ progesterone based." Well, tell that to my numb hand. This stuff is poison. I'm OK with being half bald now, becasue I don't feel like a panic/anxiety stress ball any more, I can see again, and think too. | F | 32 | 3 months | 10/6/2009 | 1 | Fertility | Depression, Anxiety, Suicidal Thoughts, Acne, Sleed Deprivation | I would consider other options. | F | 32 | 1 months | 11/12/2015 | 1 | Decreased levels | By day 4 I was having a complete mental breakdown could not think clearly, constant crying, increased depression. I stopped at day 5 and continued to feel the side effects for several days. I will NEVER take this again!!!!! | F | 32 | 6 days | 2/28/2016 | 1 | To increase luteal phase | Hot flashes, breast/nipple tenderness, tired all the time, foggy-brain, weight gain around mid-section, rapid heartbeat/pulse, acne on chest and back, moody, increased urination, diarrhea | I can't believe I fell for the hype. I am done trying to "trick" because the side effects aren't worth it! I stopped using the cream a few days after I noticed my pulse was fast and erratic. I wish I had found this site sooner. | F | 32 | 30 days 1/4 tsp 2X day | 6/3/2010 | 1 | Menstrual Migraines | Severe Abdominal Cramps and Nausea, Insomnia, Explosive Bowel Movements, Severe Stomach Bloating | After the night I had, my heart goes out to anyone taking this poison. These side-effects happened over ONE night for me. I dare not EVER use it again. I have never experienced anything like it in my life. I truly contemplated suicide to end the pain and sickness I felt and I AM NOT a dramatic person. My husband was in shock because I NEVER complain...not even with my pounding monthly migraines that make me vomit and lose vision is one eye. DON'T TAKE THIS CRAP! Find another way!!! | F | 32 | 1 days 50 mg 1X day | 3/3/2011 | 5 | Menstrual migraine | Inreased heart rate but cut out the caffeine and was ok. I would advise women to expirement with their dose. | I use this cream from days 14-28. It has cured my menstrual migraines. I actually had to keep using it when my period started (on days 1-3) and reapplied my dose when my migraine symptoms returned every 6hrs. Don't need to take codeine for pain relief anymore. | F | 33 | 28 days 1ml 1X day | 7/13/2011 | 5 | Premenstral dysphoric disorder | haven't taken it long enough to note any | I've suffered with hormone related anxiety and depression for years. My doctor prescribed prozac but I decided to try natural progesterone instead. I was having severe symptoms yesterday and tried the cream last night. I felt 100% better in a matter of minutes! I'm not taking it today so I can start my period but I still feel great so far. | F | 33 | 1 days | 8/12/2004 | 5 | PCOS/support pregnancy | Ovulation (hooray!) and maintained pregnancy after two miscarriages due to low progesterone. | (Love it, love it! It worked for me.) I used natural progesterone cream - Pro-Gest specifically. I started after my 2nd miscarriage to promote healing and ended up inducing ovulation and maintained the pregnancy. Now that I am postpartum I will be resuming my use to attempt to get rid of my ovarian cysts. | F | 33 | 7 months | 11/24/2009 | 4 | Maintain pregnancy in 1st tri | Severe fatique, bloating, lethargy, acne | When I become pregnant, my body stops producing progesterone. I had 3 miscarriages before I finally had my kids - I now have 3 and EACH was because I was taking the progeterone. I did the injections the first 2, suppositories with the 3rd and now 4th pregnancy. I dont like how I feel, but it is worth it to maintain my pregnancies. | F | 33 | 15 weeks | 10/9/2007 | 4 | Pregnancy | Lightheaded, sad, heaviness in chest, sleepy within hour of injection but later suffer from insomnia, mild leg & calf pain, increased appetite, tenderness at injection site, mood swings | F | 33 | 2 weeks | 1/26/2012 | 1 | prevent miscarriage | severe anxiety, chest heaviness, heart thumping (palpitations), short of breath, panicky, dizzy | I would NEVER take these suppositories again. | F | 33 | 8 days 400 mg 1X day | 8/14/2011 | 1 | to stabilize early pregnancy | extreme fatigue, irritability, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, shortness of breath, sleeplessness | I hated every second I had to take this. The side effects left me completely incapacitated. | F | 33 | 45 days | 3/20/2006 | 1 | Sever dizziness , headaches , my head was unreal it's like you living out of space ! Numbness in my arms , hands , legs & face . Spend thousand $ on MRI, CT-scan ,blood work. | F | 33 | 3 months 100 mg | 4/23/2014 | 1 | endometriosis | extreme breast tenderness and swelling, depression, severe weight gain, fatigue, bloating, severe mood swings, joint pain, heavy and very painful periods | This cream ruined my body. I read how using it can greatly help people suffering with endometriosis pain. I was so optimisitc and gladly dished out hundreds of dollars and kept telling myself those were all just temporary side effects. I hate my body more than ever right now, as I gained 14+ pounds in the time I used the cream. I eat a very clean and balanced diet, and excercise like a fiend. this has ruined my self esteem, as well as my sex life with my partner. I have fat deposits all over my body that were never ever there before. seeing myself naked is shocking, as I have an entirely different body now thanks to this horrible cream. My mood was so doom and gloom that i actually thought about breaking up with my boyfriend and being alone. It makes you mentally sick.
