confusion over progesterone cream and wild yam
October 5 2006 at 11:59 PM kinomi (no login)
After reading about wild yam cream and it's possible benefits. I found a health food/herbal store that said they carried it. The wild yam ointment they carried was actually a lubricate located in the contraceptive dept. and they showed me other products with wild yam content, What I found was a product called Equigest w/ vit E cream (menopause &PMS Solutions The ingredient say "Progestorone(derived from Wild Yam)" It says to gently massage 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of cream onto soft parts of body "breasts, belly, inner thigh and under arm.
I have read the posts about Progesterrone and I someone was saying that it was unsafe to put it directly on your breasts and also the fact that unless you have low progesterone levels it could be dangerous. I am 38, have normal periods and have no reason to think that I have low progesterone. However I want to grow breasts!!! I am confused about the difference of what is actually wild yam and what is progesterone"derived from wild yam" would it be safe to use it on my breasts or not? Would it be like using wild yam cream? Should I of gotten the wild yam lubricant, since it was listed as just wild yam in the ingredients? I don't want to harm my body but I feel like the progesterone cream may actually may a difference in my growth. Is anyone familier with that particular product?
I need an educated opinion. tms81 wrote about wild yam cream previously, if you're around and have any thoughts, I'd greatly appreciate them from her or anyone on this forum. Thanks

Hey girl, just saw your post.
I am gonna try to explain.
Progesterone cream is made from wild yam by extracting diosgenin from the wild yams and then converting this component into natural progesterone in the laboratory.No known side effects exist when using natural progesterone in physiological amounts (20 - 30 mg a day for women and 6-10 mg a day for men) under normal conditions. It is therefore very safe. But as with most substances, too much can cause problems. Too much progesterone is actually counterproductive, as chronically high dose of progesterone over many months eventually causes progesterone receptors to turn off, reducing its effectiveness and may lead to toxic side effects.
But to do this i belive you have to take very much. Excessive progesterone is normally caused by the excessive built up of progesterone in the body. This is more commonly seen in those who are self-administering topical progesterone cream in the wrong area. Progesterone cream should be applied to areas of the body that have good circulation but not high in fat. These areas include the wrist, back of the neck, and under part of the upper arm. Areas such as the abdomen, buttock and breast are high in fat and will retain progesterone faster than other parts of the body.
wild yam cream
iosgenin found in Wild Yam is a phytoestrogen, and it closely resembles human progesterone. Due to this similarity, body reacts to it as if it were progesterone.
well by taking wild yam cream you are making your progesterone level higher. The breast have a lot of fat and absorbe the cream very well, so i would not add a cream with to high prosentage of wild yam to your breast.

tms81 thank you for responding to me. I sent another email this morning to you asking basically the same question but I summed it up. So forgive me for being redundant. I have a better understandind now of the differences. It seems like to be safer, I should invest in wild yam cream rather than progesterone. Thanks again!

remember that progesterone cream and wild yam are not the same. The wild yam cream is made from wild yam extract and progesterone cream is prosesed in a labratory. You get a higher amont of progesterone from the progesterone cream, but with my manual it is said if you get swollen breast during PMS you can add it on your breast so they are cind of saying two things at the same time. But to be safe i would not add progesterone on any part of your body that have a lot of fat.
On the other hand if it said on your cream that you can aply it on your breast i would belive you could. If it is not strong the best would probably to put it on your breast to get any effect of it.
