If you apply the cream to your mucous epithelial membranes that line your uterus and vagina you obtain a virtually ideal administration system. Not only is absorption through these membranes more complete than through your skin, but hormones absorbed through your vaginal membranes enter the very same pelvic plexus of veins that your ovaries normally empty into.

Can you do that with progesterone cream? Or is that just how it would be applied in an ideal world?

Dr Mercola advocates it's use this way. There is a risk of infection if your not completely hygienic when you apply it if you know what I mean :s
