I just ordered an all natural progesterone cream from Amazon. I wanted to reach out and see if any of you wonderful ladies had any suggestions, tips or advice. Thank you :-)

I hope so too for both of us! I'm a man perimenopause and I am over with the moodiness, night sweats, and extra weight I'm gaining around the middle. Keep me posted on how it's working for you and I'll do the same :-)

Hi kim
I tried the ‘emeritas ‘ cream and it was really good ... not sure if that’s the one you ordered ?

Yes! I'd also like to hear about the ladies experiences with them. I just started using one about a month ago "Anna's wild yam cream". I'm not sure if it's related but my moods and anxiety have improved. My fibromyalgia is still the same so far and so is my sleep. A few other highly little symptoms are also still unchanged. But early days yet, so hopefully they improve too. May I ask which cream you purchased?

Oh ok, it’s Progessence Plus, And I order it from Young living so if you’d like to order it with my discount private message me and I will give you my member number, if not just go to Young living and order it retail but you will love it well actually I love it and it helps with hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and mood swings.

Karatemom44 That oil was given to me by a younger friend but I'm a little afraid to try it since she had a negative reaction. Where do you apply yours? How much and how often? What exactly are your results? I look forward to hearing back from you!! :-)

I just came back from the drs and found out that I’m sensitive to progesterone ... it literally made me ill ! So now going on just estrogen only for a few months and adding progesterone after that .... I may be able to add something that’s over the counter though as it’s not as strong as the prescription . The over the counter one I didn’t have a bad effect from so I’ll definitely give the one you mention a shot .

One of the problems with oral prometrium is that it's in a peanut oil base. I think that's why some women notice weight gain. Also, it's going through your liver. Now one can argue that even anything on your skin will be going through your whole body thus affecting the liver, but I think it might be best to keep the progesterone out of your digestive system altogether. If you have to take oral progesterone, make sure you are getting one that is compounded in a special pharmacy without all the additives like prometrium. Your doctor can prescribe this but many gyn's will give you a hard time about it. Stand firm.
I've been using natural progesterone cream regularly for a few months now. Make sure you get one that has USP progesterone in it, not just wild yam, if you want it to work effectively. Also look for one with no parabens!
So far I feel like my symptoms have been lessening. I skipped a cycle, and then this month got a normal period, albeit lasting a few days shorter than it used to. I stopped using the cream for the few days of the cycle. Now I started again. I've been only using once a day and put it on my inner thighs or inner arms. A trick a hormone doctor told me to do is to put the cream on your wrist to rub in, that way you won't be washing it off your hands later. I like to use it at night before bed after showering.
