Where and which brand of progesterone cream should I get?
May 27 2008 at 9:39 AM Kitty (Login Kiikkins)
I going to be taking PO soon, it should come in a few days and I've taken the hormonal test. Im a bit confused cause I have both symptoms of deficiency for both but since Im going to be taking PO which is estrogen right? Would it be safer if I had progesterone creams with it? So it can balance me out? I dont want to end up having any complications specially serious ones. Id like to be able to avoid them as much as I could. Specially my husband and I will be starting a family in a couple of years.

Im 20 years old by the way

Hi,

I am not an expert as far as PO is concerned but I can tel you where I bought my progesterone cream from. The one I got is called Progesta-Care and I got it from BIOVEA (www.biovea.net). It contains natural progesterone as the one produced from our bodies. There are other brands available at other sites, but make sure the one you get contains natural progesterone. Hope this helps a little

Thank you for your help =)
Can I buy this product in any pharmacy stores around california?
Like Walgreens or Rite-Aid?

Also to others using BO or PO
Will using a progesterone cream help me not get endemetriosis?
Or any other complications?
How much of it should I put on?

Hi Zuri,

I read that you are going to use the progesterone cream. Have you checked your hormones first with a doctor or you just think your body needs it? If you dont mind me asking, what are the symptoms that you have? Hope you will let us know how its going. Good luck!

Best wishes,
Kessy

Hello all,
I just wanted to add that if you are going to use progesterone cream, then a good guide is the book by Dr. John Lee - "What your doctor may not tell you about premenopause" - I know the title makes it sound like it is only for women of a certain age BUT - what it really should be titled is "How to safely and effectively use progesterone cream for the best effect and without causing yourself any harm, plus a lot of good brands of progesterone and where you can get them..." ... but I guess that would not have been as catchy... lol

Hey Kessy,

Well the reason I thought I shoud use the progesterone cream is that I had my hormones tested, (that was some years ago) and I was found to have low progesterone and estrogen levels as well as high androgens.I did the tests as I had some of the PCOS Symptoms (acne and hair growth)and my doctor put me on the pill (Diane 35) for some time. the symptoms got better but I believe that this hormonal imbalance is the primary reason my breast growth was inhibited. For these reasons I thought I should use a combination of etsrogenic herbs and the progesterone cream from day 12 to 28. I will use it for some time, see how it goes and will go and check my hormones again if I see that it does not work.. Hope this answers your question Zuri

Hi Kitty,

I dont know if you can get the PC cream over the counter at local pharmacies but I dont see why not.. Maybe other members from the US can answer this. As for the right dosage, make sure you buy one with a 'measured dosage pump'. Each full press of the pump should provide you with the right dosage. Hope this helps Zuri

Waxingmoon,

thanks for the post (interesting and funny, as always!). I knew Dr Lee's book was not only for menopausal women but didn't know it focused especially on the use of porgesterone cream! I think I am gonna order it now!

I use ProgesterAll from Dr Lee's site. I've been using it for a little over a month now and so far so good.

This list also comes from his site and lists other suitable creams:
