Progesterone Creme 2 oz. Jar

With each passing month, my life was getting worse. My PMS symptoms started to get worse and worse beginning around age 36, and after a few years I decided to research PMDD. The main prescription for PMDD relief was Prozac, and I couldn't believe that a psychotropic drug was even considered for this. Other "solutions" were stress management (I'm rarely stressed), diet (mine's fine; not a lot of processed junk and no sodas), and exercise (I do advanced martial arts classes 3x/week & am active otherwise). Not satisfied with that in the slightest, I read up on estrogen dominance and went to Dr. John Lee's website to take a hormone questionnaire. Yup - totally estrogen dominant.My first recommendation is to use this product for cramps. Both my teenaged daughter and I put it on our lower abdomen, and no Midol or ibuprofen for us anymore! It is truly fantastic.For everything else, I've had about an 80% reduction in my PMDD/estrogen dominance symptoms, which include:- rage (from 10 days of irrational "upset" to 2 days of mild snappiness)- mental fogginess (usually about 4-5 days of not knowing what I'm supposed to do next to 1 day of mental fatigue/not focusing)- 90% reduction in cramps (I usually get them front & back as well as down to my upper thighs 4-5 days prior to my period and all the way through it; I had barely 2 days of mild cramping only in my abdomen - no back cramps!!!)- period went from 7 days to 4 days- physical fatigue (usually 4-5 days of aching body and inability to get up or have the desire to do anything; went down to about a half of one day)I applied the cream from days 12-26 of my cycle and alternated the areas where I applied. For one month, I used approximately 1/4 of the tub. I estimate that each tub will last me 4-5 months - you CANNOT beat the price!!! I will absolutely, positively be purchasing this product again.There doesn't seem to be much (if any) smell at all. The cream itself is pretty light and it absorbs quickly and easily into the skin. I Googled the different areas where it is absorbed best, and rotated those out. It doesn't leave a residue on your skin and you can't tell it's there after you've applied it. I also have VERY sensitive skin and allergic to mango/papaya, and this product had absolutely no effect whatsoever on my skin or allergies.I highly, HIGHLY recommend that you get a blood or saliva hormone test if you can afford it/insurance covers it, or that you Google Dr. John Lee + "Take the Hormone Balance Test" if you are over 35 and experiencing the symptoms I described above. The two times in your life that your progesterone are in the toilet (hence the estrogen dominance) is right before you get your first period and right before you're going into peri/pre-menopause. I had no idea, and I am very happy to have discovered something that relieves my symptoms thus far. Two enthusiastic, grateful thumbs up for this product! :)

I started to use this cream less than a month ago. I am 46 years old with a very regular menstrual cycle. I noticed my pms symptoms getting worse and worse, to the point where it was almost debilitating. I run a business,and I am around people all day long, so I dread the time when my pms symptoms would start. My symptoms from a scale of 1-10 where all definitely 10's in my misery department.About a week before my period, I would get overwhelmingly anxious, depressed, bloated,and tired. As if this isn't bad enough, I would get an INSATIABLE appetite, and I would often undo all the hard work of dieting and exercise. I have experienced some changes in my cycle, and I knew menopause was right around the corner, so I did some research on peri- menopause and estrogen dominance. I was utterly blown away! I AM the poster child for ED. I read about how progesterone cream can help, and I thought at this point, I have nothing to lose.I chose this particular cream because it contains no soy, and for the positive reviews. Having Hashmoto's thyroiditis, soy can worsen the symptoms. Also, this cream is bio- indentical. Upon doing further research, I discovered that having ED could mask as hypothyroidism and often overlooked by most doctors. They just keep giving you pills without looking at the crux of the problem. Anyway, I decided to be my own advocate and to take matters into my own hands.In my first month, I sailed through pms with no sore breasts, headaches, or hungry horrors! I feel more chipper. My hair stopped falling out, and to my unexpected amazement, I am losing weight faster! Why, oh why didn't I find this sooner!I have to address one thing though, make sure to take the recommended dosage of 1/4 tsp. Some women said on some reviews that one jar would last 3 months. This is not so unless one takes a smaller dosage. One jar would last approximately one month, and it's still a very small price to pay considering the benefits. Peace:)

I purchased this item because my hormone levels are low. After doing research, since I didn't want synthetic hormones because they can cause cancer, I knew wild yam without fertilizer/pesticides was the best to improve the levels of sex hormones.The item hightlighted "Progesterone USP from Wild Yam", the main ingredient I was looking for. But, in the ingredient section and on the bottle does NOT say "wild yam" anywhere. The point: the company made the statement "wild yam" in advertising the item but, how do one know if the progesterone is actually from "wild yam" and not synthetic progesterone. The bottle would/should had the wording "wild yam" on it, if it was indeed from "wild yam". Since it did NOT, the consumer should take it as a "WARNING" when purchasing this/any item.There are alot of so-called "NATURAL" products but when you read what's on the box/bottle, you will find IT'S NOT!!! Unfortunately, I had the bottle for a month, used it for almost 2 weeks then, read the bottle. It was too late to return it. I took it for granted that it had/said "wild yam" in it's makeup. Also, the progesterone was midway down as an ingredient. It should of had been the first three (3) as the most important/main ingredient, like bread, cereal, etc.
