Sunflower, can I ask you a few questions? Did you end up taking the progesterone at night before bed, to deal with the drowsiness? I've been feeling sleepy all day. Also, did you start with high levels and work your way down to the amount you are taking? It's quite a small amount. What benefits have you seen in your symptom profile since you've been taking it?
Linda Lou,
I was just reading over this thread & this is the first time I noticed these questions for me.
I started off with about 1 ml a day and worked up from there.
I took half dosage first thing in the morning and half just before bed.
4mls in total, now,it's recommended to use 1 tub per month.
The drowsiness,heavy feeling only lasted the first few days for me,but was intense,I almost did not continue with the cream but I'm now glad that I did!
The first few days I felt so relaxed ,like I was stoned,I don't like that kind of feeling,like you said,great for bedtime,but not so much when you're trying to get things done.
Now, it does not effect me in that way,and yet it does relax me in a pleasant way,it's especially nice after a bath,before
getting into bed.
with a cup of hot camomile tea.Lovely.
As for symptoms, my PMS which was way out of hand has been diminished to a couple of hours of irritability,exactly one week before my period arrives.
Before using the cream I experienced week long episodes of PMT with anger,bloating,irritability,excessive hunger,etc.
Some women use it to regulate their cycles but my cycle was always 28 days and now it seems to be 29 or 30 days??
anyhow that's regular enough for me!So Glad that the pmt much better.
So I find the cream has helped a huge amount, but like I mentioned before I nearly gave up but then I noticed a huge
positive change.
