Progesterone

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hello everybody! I’m estrogen dominate and last blood work I had .05 progesterone.   So my doctor gave me a prescription for 100 mg progesterone every day. I got to say that the first 10 days on it I was blissful and carefree. I felt normal again. But now I’m finding in the mornings I have depression  not too bad but still I can cope. My anxiety is better also, but this pit in my stomach I’m hoping is short term until the progesterone takes its full effect or if it does. I never really had this feeling much before taking it.  What do you ladies think? I feel that I want to be off of everything. I’m 52 I still have my monthly and I just don’t know what to do. I’ve been on here a few times and I feel like a broken record. I just want to be happy again. My daughter is getting married on the 19th and I feel I have to take something to be happy on that day. Love to you all

    Patty z I understand this awful feeling. I can't take HRT because I had a blood clot. All I know is I wish daily I could. I am in such a depression. I have never felt like this in my life mentally and physically. I would give the HRT some more time. It seems like other women on here say there is an adjustment period. I hope it works for you! Prayers and hugs!!

    Hi pattyz I'm 52 n I've got the coil fitted so my progesterone is ok I was given load dose oestrogen but felt worse since taking it. So maybe it's the medication that's affecting us not low hormones I hope you find a solution. Mine was to quit taking any medication. So far it's working for me.good luck x

    Hi Patty! Are you using bioidentical hormones?

      Hi Shana, yes I am. I’m also not sure if I’m suppose to still take it during my period since I hardly have any.
