User Reviews for progesterone

I have been on topical for 15 years and it has helped me with depression, hot flashes gone, bones still strong and no toenail fungus. My husband has had toenail fungus for years but I think the progesterone keeps me from getting it. I tried to go off the progesterone for 6 months but the depression came back, I was more tired and I started to get toenail fungus. I went back to the progesterone and all of that disappeared. I plan to stay on it as long as my Dr. will keep prescribing it for me.Read More Read Less

I was given Progestrone to take 14 days to be used as a D&C by pill. (cists in uterus; to clean uterine wall) After 6 days, I called doctor's office. Makes me feel horrible all over. Weak,tired,foggy headed,sore all over,nauseated,breast tenderness galore!, stomach swollen,water retention. Sick all weekend,missed work yesterday & had to come home sick again today! Cannot even stay awake or think clearly. NO THANK YOU! RATHER JUST GET A D&C PERFORMED & GET IT OVER WITH! I am normally a healthy, fit, energetic 37 yr old. Don't take this stuff.

I have lost weight,I stop taking for awhile,but they are for the hot flashes..

i was on 100m.g. of progesterone,along with estrogen,estradol, and tetosterone;i had next to zero hormones in me before this medicine-i take all of this in the pump,cream form.have been on all of these since july 2013.last month,my dr. upped my dosage of progesterone to 200m.g. due to excessive bleeding 23 out of 30 days. i took this dosage for 2 wks. and the bleeding stopped.when i went to get my refill,the pharmacist was enraged that i had been on such a high amount of progesterone as i was taking all of the meds in a pump,it upped the other meds. as well. now they have me on a pump still,and 150m.g. of progesterone and straightened the others out.i dont feel as good as i did-minus the heavy bleeding the last month.ive gained weight like crazy and this is driving me nuts. i have been eating less,started the plexus slim with accelerater over 2 wks. ago and have gained instead of lost. i have always maintained my weight,very slim and trim. my question- what is causing this and how can i stop it? please help!! amyRead More Read Less

I was given progesterone from my obgyn to help get my period before I started taking Clomid for infertility... How long did it take to become effective, as in receiving your period?

Love it, wish I hadn't waited so long to go to a Dr. who specializes in hormone therapy.

Progesterone cream used 2 times daily has helped me with mood swings.

I am 70yrs and had blood clot, so I had to be careful as to what I use. I only just starting to use it, so far I think it going to work very well for me. I stayed hot but this helps a lot.

i have been using for 3-4 weeksand it is not working

I have had 5 miscarriages and 2 preterm deliveries. This is my 10th pregnancy/live baby #5. My Obgyn suggested Progesterone injections every week until the 39th week. I have been miserable! I am depressed, heart palpatations,severe mood swings, blurred vision, forgetfulness, and the injections are VERY painful! I learned the study on Progesterone preventing preterm delivery is insufficient for proven success rates! Not very reassuring! I am stopping any further injections now, at my 25th week!

seem to have acne problems associated with the HRT

acne, and cramping are my side effects

bone treatment also for depression

I have been on HRT for for almost 40 years after early age hysterectomy. I have always been afraid of the cancer side effects of artifical estrogen. Recently a friend introduced me to bio idential progesterone cream, which has allowed me to cut the artificial estrogen IN HALF which is a big deal. I have never before been able to survive on such a small dosage. HOWEVER, I discovered that when I applied to soft tissue on my neck, it caused alot of throat problems. I would not recommend using on neck/throat areas. It took me over a month to figure out why I was having such difficulty with sore throat and swollen glands! Read More Read Less

Highly recommend progesterone cream. Don't take the synthetic tables your doctor will prescribe the body doesn't see them as natural and your liver has a hard time processing the synth stuff. Stick to the natural bio identical progesterone cream. Within days of using the progesterone cream I started to feel better, lost weight , had more energy and my mood was improved.

Horrid. Blew my BP through the roof - 170/110 - severe head and neck pain, visual disturbances, erratic pulse, chest pain. I am MISERABLE. I wish there is some way I could get this stuff out of my body NOW.

I had tried other remedies like cohosh and womens pre menopausal combo's from the health stores. no luck with those. I started progesterone and estrogen and have had immediate relief from hot flashes. I had them 4-5 times per hour! It was absolutely unbearable. I was so happy to start this treatment. My older sister used Hormone Replacement therapy also and had encouraged me to try it if necessary. the combination decreases the risk of Uterine cancer so it's much safer than I originally thought. I just do not have hot flashes anymore. I feel more balanced, though I also increased my exercise to five times a week. I didnt have the energy before to do that before. So I was more like 2-3 X a week. I have a bit of a bloating problem, but I think I can deal with that. I encourage you to talk with your practitioner. I waited longer than I needed to get help.Read More Read Less
