How to use progesterone cream

Women in their midlife need a natural hormone to help them ease menopausal symptoms. We all know that menopausal symptoms can give women great pain and every woman would love to survive that stage. There are factors in our food supply that can set us up for symptoms of estrogen dominance like anvoluation and xenoestrogens. You can be sure that progesterone creams can really help in easing these symptoms. Here are some tips on how you should use progesterone cream.

Before trying any progesterone cream, try familiarizing yourself about perimenopause. You can rely on websites or on books for you to see if you are experiencing any symptoms of it. In this way, you will know if progesterone cream is right for you. Keep in mind that progesterone cream is available without a prescription. Consult your doctor first about using it.

You can now purchase progesterone cream at a local health store or online. Just make sure that the product you are buying contains only natural ingredients and it’s no synthetic progesterone. It’s your responsibility now to notice which potency of progesterone cream you are buying. You must also know how many milligrams of progesterone there is per ounce of cream. There are some creams that contain wild yam, ginseng and other helpful herbs which can be seen in the ingredients.

When you have the progesterone cream that is right for you, you can now apply the hormone cream using only 1/16 of teaspoon two times a day. You can also consult your doctor if you want to be sure about the amount of cream you should use. Most cream has on its directions that say to use ¼ to ½ teaspoon two times a day, but remember that it’s best to let your body do the adjusting.

You can use the cream for a month. Monitor and notice if there is change in spotting. Notice also the heaviness of periods and other perimenopausal symptoms. If you think that there is no improvement despite the use of the usual amount of progesterone cream, try increasing the dosage you are taking by up to ¼ teaspoon twice a day. Still, if there is no improvement or positive result after three months, increase the dosage you’re taking by up to ½ teaspoon twice a day. After doing that, try to continue using it until improvements happen. Reevaluate the results in two months or if you want to be surer, you can directly consult your doctor.

Natpro progesterone deficiency cream – a review

When I found out that I was now experiencing menopausal symptoms and progesterone deficiency
(I needed to confirm that I was in my menopausal stages! I didn’t want to believe it at first!), I was experiencing swelling, weight gain, depression, you name it. I could say that I have suffered all menopause and progesterone related symptoms. Because of this, I immediately asked friends and trusted health care providers about what products I could use to help alleviate my problems. All of them recommended Natpro progesterone cream to me. After getting positive and sometimes overly-enthusiastic testimonials for the product, I was convinced that I should give it a try.

The Natpro cream is quite affordable. For seventy dollars, you get three tubes with 60 grams of cream. Each tube is adequate for a month’s usage. Of course, how long each tube will last depend on how much cream you need. Needless to say, it is still a great buy because of its efficacy.

Since I purchased the cream, I have been using it religiously. I can truly say that I am truly relieved from all the menopausal symptoms I’ve experienced before I started using the product. However, whenever I encounter stressful situations, I feel some of the symptoms coming back. To improve my condition, I simply use more progesterone cream and voila! I feel better again!

Another perk of using Natpro is that I don’t have to use large amounts when applying it. A thin film over the skin will actually do, and it still delivers great results. That’s why I manage to use all three tubes in a span of four months, instead of three!

I also like the cream a lot because it is created in a very humane way. It contains no ingredients taken from animals, and it is also not tested on them. Natpro is an all-natural product. It is made of ingredients derived from vegetables and it copies natural progesterones found in a woman’s body.

I’m very particular when it comes to the products I apply on my body, so if you’re still skeptical about what the cream contains, here’s a run down of the ingredients in it:

Spring water, organic virgin macadamia oil, 2000 mg of natural progesterone, organic citrus extract, glyceryl stearate, vegetable glycerine, sodium borate, cetearyl alcohol, cetearyl glucoside, vitamin E, titanium dioxide, and silver chloride are what make up Natpro progesterone cream. This has been Natpro’s original formula since 1996, when it was first developed and distributed. It’s also great to know that the makes of Natpro are all committed to improving the product in order to make it safer and healthier for its patrons.

Natpro progesterone cream is truly an effective product. If you’re experiencing progesterone deficiency whether you’re pregnant or menopausal, it can surely help you out with eliminating several discomforts brought about my progesterone deficiency. It’s effective, economical, healthy, and humanely created. What more could you ask for in a progesterone cream?

I now understand why many of my friends and health care providers swear by it.

What is progesterone cream?

The steroid hormone found in the women’s body is known as progesterone. It is made by the corpus luteum of the ovary at ovulation. This hormone is also made in smaller amounts by the adrenal glands. Progesterone is manufactured in the body from a steroid hormone that is called pregnenolene. It is also known as a precursor to most of the other steroid hormones. These other steroid hormones include cortisol, androstenedione, the estrogens and testosterone. The corpus luteum produces at about 20 to 30 mg of progesterone in a normal cycling female during luteal phase of menstrual cycle.

Why do women need progesterone in the first place? The direct answer to that is that it is needed in hormone replacement therapy for menopausal women for many reasons. Progesterone’s most important role is to balance or oppose the effects of estrogen. Put in mind that unopposed estrogen may create a strong risk for breast cancer and reproductive cancers.

Both women suffering from PMS and menopausal symptoms will be able to recognize the hallmark symptoms of estrogen dominance. This can make them gain weight, have the feeling of bloating, mood swings, irritability, tender breasts, headaches, depression, fatigue and uterine fibroids. Estrogen dominance can cause women cancer of the ovary, breast and uterus. All of these symptoms can be treated with Natpro progesterone cream.

Why do women suffering menopausal symptoms need progesterone cream? In ten to fifteen years, women regularly have anovulatory cycles that enable them to make enough estrogen to create menstruation. They don’t make any progesterone and this starts the setting stage for estrogen dominance. The use of progesterone cream during anovulatory months can help women prevent the symptoms of PMS. PMS as we all know occur despite normal progesterone levels when there is the presence of stress. This causes the increase of cortisol and these cortisol blockades progesterone receptors. There is a need of additional progesterone to overcome this blockade and of course, it is important to have stress management.

People have the same question of where should they put the progesterone cream. Since progesterone is a very fat soluble, it can be easily absorbed by the skin. From subcutaneous fat, it can be absorbed into the capillary blood. The absorption is best at the skin sites where people usually blush like the face, chest, neck, breast, inner arms and palms of the hands.

Some doctors recommend the progesterone cream containing 450-500 mg of progesterone per ounce which is 1.6% by weight or 3% by volume. This means that the progesterone cream must be used ¼ teaspoon a day that would provide about 20 mg/day.
