??those Using Natural Progesterone Cream??
Posted: 05-07-06 12:41pm

I have been using natur-elle plus cream for a year now and I am still getting some hot flashes. I am 59 and came off of hrt a year ago. I am otherwise very healthy and active and slim.
I am using about 1/4 tsp. Divided daily. I take one week off per month. Is that how I should be using it now or should I be using it continually without a break each month? Am I using enouth?

my doctor told me not to ever stop taking the natural progesterone. I use progest -- I have the premeasured tubes and use 2 a day; 365 days a year. Hot flashes stopped within 48 hours of starting the progest. Have been on it for 2 years now.

I use natural progesterone too and it did stop my hot flashes but I also had to experiment with how long to use it. I have to use less than it says to use. But i'm not menopausal yet. I still have periods though they have gotten further and further apart.

I pay attention to my body and how it feels.

I have used natural progesterone cream off and on for about 4 years. I tend to not go by the instructions or what my doctor has recently told me, because I can tell by how i'm feeling whether to use more or less. It has not helped me at all with hot flashes, but has helped with many other symptoms. I recently ran across this information which anyone using this cream should know about http://www .Mercola.Com/article/progesterone/cream.Ht m

Hi,

i've used the natural progesterone cream for many years but in the last year my menopausal symptoms had become much worse. I'm 55 years old and my periods have stopped so I did some research and I had many symptoms of low estrogen. I've started to use a natural estriol cream and it stopped the hot flashes/night sweats almost immediately. I also have heart palpitations and they have stopped almost completely. I don't know if i'll continue with this cream long term but will take it as long as it helps with the symptoms.
