I just got my progesterone cream today and I figured I might as well start it immediately. I think I might be estrogen dominant, so a cycle of only PC could be just what I need. It's too bad that I won't really know what my hormonal balance is like until I've done several cycles of BBT charting. There's 10 days left in my current cycle, and I'll be applying PC once a day. BTW, Emerita Pro-gest smells a lot like toothpaste for some reason. Luckily the smell goes away very quickly.

After putting on the cream, I think I finally figured out why Ginnie kept emphasizing that she only used "a little bit" of cream whenever someone asked her about progesterone. Most progesterone creams don't come with a measuring pump, as far as I know. You have to eyeball the amount, but the recommended dose is really tiny, about a 1/4 tsp. It's literally a pea sized amount. I think most people don't intuitively know what a 1/4 tsp looks like, unless they bake on a regular basis, like I used to. Hopefully that really is what Ginnie was trying to get people to understand.

For years I thought that I didn't get any PMS breast swelling at all. After starting BE I realized that I do get a very tiny bit of swelling that I can't even feel. I can only see the faint increase in fullness if I'm paying really close attention. If this progesterone cream works, it should increase my menstrual swelling enough that it'll actually be noticeable for once. If that doesn't happen, I'll be pretty confused.

I need a new AC and haven't received it yet, but it's been over 100 where I live for several days every week. I thinks it's kind of amazing that I haven't died of heat exhaustion :p Snoogling would have been way to uncomfortable, especially since I don't have any padding yet. I'm gonna start snoogling again when I get my padding and AC.
