I started using Progesterone cream (the good stuff recommended on another post) about 10 days ago. I apply in the AM and the PM.
I have not gotten my period since May.
Bottom line is, my boobs are now getting swollen and sore. I think this has something to do with the Progesterone cream. Any ideas on this?
Thanks, Teresa

I'm going to try to explain this so it makes some kind of sense
Progesterone re-sensitizes the estrogen receptors in your body - causing sore boobs and other fun stuff. I'll try to find a link on it and post it later b/c there's actually much more to it than that.
Why did you start taking progesterone? I have endometriosis and I was taking it for a while but it made my endo worse and I walked around feeling like my boobs were being ripped off my body most of the time...so I quit!
I'll post that link as soon as I find it.

Thanks for your response. I started taking it because I had all of the symptoms of progesterone dominance. My hair was falling out, I have not been getting my period, extreme tiredness, etc. I figured I would give it a try and see if it helped. From what I read, many people need it anyway because even environmentally, most of us are subjected to alot of estrogen without even realizing it. And being sick on top of that I thought it wouldn't hurt to try.
I stopped the cream for one day and have started spotting, not sure what this means, but I am thinking that my period may not be far behind.

may want to get with knowledgable doc. who does
bio-identical hormone therapy. usually if
had too much progesterone supplement can make you
have more than one cycle per month. just do your
research on the doc, i got with one who was not
following the protocols and helped for a bit
but now that i know lyme is the real prob. am
addressing this first, but i know has messed up
my hormones something bad...will look to add in
later with different doc. who knows what they r
doing. hope that helps
