Highly recommend progesterone cream. Don't take the synthetic tables your doctor will prescribe the body doesn't see them as natural and your liver has a hard time processing the synth stuff. Stick to the natural bio identical progesterone cream. Within days of using the progesterone cream I started to feel better, lost weight , had more energy and my mood was improved.

Estrogen Dominance diagnosis nearly killed me. I almost died with insomnia, arrhythmia, tachycardia and almost had a syncopal episode thanks to the crap bioidentical progesterone cream I was given. Come to find out after being told over and over by worthless Naturopaths that I am estrogen dominant. I took a look at my actual ESTRADIOL blood levels done by a MEDICAL DOCTOR and saw that every time I...

I am a menopausal 57yo I was desperate to relieve low energy,night sweats and feeling like I am miserable.I can say from my experience it added to worse symptoms.I had a GYN who wood not budge on HRT so I took my miserable self to one who helped relieve my suffering.I work FT and care for my Husband who is incapacitated as a baby,I was in hell.I encourage any woman to seek a GYN who will work to help you prefer a woman personally who understands what being one is like.

This is my 2nd time trying oral progesterone, it’s not for me. Both times it caused severe vaginal swelling, bleeding and pain travelling to the ureters & kidneys. I also had my uterus removed because of diffuse Adenomyosis (2013) and both ovaries removed due to Endometriosis (2017). I really think progesterone only works if you still have a uterus / Adenomyosis. I did try progesterone cream back when my uterus was still intact (2008) and it worked great to reduce my uterine pain. Endometriosis is so sensitive to any changes in estrogen, it might be best to stay away from progesterone / DHEA / estrogen supplements until one has all the abnormal tissue properly removed via excision. Take it from someone who knows; it’s not worth the pelvic pain it causes. ?????Read More Read Less

If you are concerned about weight gain, please don’t purchase Ona’s Progesterone cream. That’s the only progesterone cream I have experience with. There are hundreds of women who have complained of stubborn weight gain after starting it. It takes some of the women literally months to lose the weight after stopping the cream. Most women don’t realize that oral progesterone (NOT progestin) is bio-identical! It’s very effective, inexpensive, and typically covered by insurance. Whereas Ona’s is much more expensive for a lower dose and can transfer to pets and family members because it’s an external cream. I’m just hoping to spare other women from the side effects I experienced. It’s hard enough struggling through menopause without adding weight gain on top of other symptoms.Read More Read Less

Slept somewhat better, but continued to wake throughout the night. I’ve gained nearly 20 lbs since taking 200 mg each night. I constantly feel bloated, fatigued and brain fog, depressed, and easily annoyed by the smallest things. I am not taking it as of 2 days ago. I feel more energy today, I hope this is a move in the right direction.

Iâ??m 23 and take it in cream forum to help with severe PMDD my periods were irregular and I suffered from severe depression, anxiety and hot flashes 2 weeks before my period until I got it. I started the cream last month and I must say my last period was amazing I had no depression or anxiety before my period at all, I was completely in awe. And my period also came a day early! It did not help with physical symptoms (cramping, breast tenderness) but helped significantly mentally. I highly recommend you give it a try if you suffer from PMDD. Read More Read Less

Prescribed for PMT. only managed to take it one day. It made me have very low mood / anxiety and PMT symptoms. I was snappy and depressed. I also had shooting pains in my breasts. It made me sleep very well though. I couldn’t bear to feel like that a second day so stopped taking it. I was told to take it day 16 on wards for 10 days. I stopped and my period came 3 days after. Now I don’t know we’re I am with my cycle. Perhaps I should’ve preserved but it was mental torture. I feel my consultant should’ve tested my hormone levels before prescribing and not just given me this as a stab in the dark telling me there were NO side effects !! Read More Read Less

It works well to fight menopausal symptons however I experienced 18 lbs of weight gain in a 3 months period and extreme fatigue. You are supposed to take it at night and I did - but I went from sleeping 7-8 hours to being constantly tired and sleeping 10 hours or more. I accidently skipped a dose and realized a few days later that day I hadn't been so tired. I went back on it and the longer I took it the more built in the fatigue was. I took myself off and it was noticable right away - it took a couple days to get back to normal for the fatigue and energy but I almost feel normal again. Read More Read Less

I was prescribed this for terrible perimenopausal symptoms including erratic heavy periods, sleeplessness, anxiety and depression. I've currently been taking a dose at bedtime for about two weeks, and the change has been remarkable - no more middle of the night anxiety attacks, less depression, and bleeding has slowed down considerably in both frequency and volume. As breast cancer runs in my family, will monitor carefully, and hopefully can go off periodically without symptoms returning. No side effects so far.Read More Read Less

I have had GREAT success using Progesterone cream! I am extremely grateful that I decided to give it a try. It has helped immensely with my out of control appetite as well as the belly expansion that comes with menopause. I have been in menopause for about 3 years to date (I'm 55). I have been using this cream for several months, though not regularly. When I resume regular use, I see immediate improvement. The instructions on my jar state to use twice a day, but I highly recommend that you find the dosage that works best for you. I use this 3 to 4 times a day and see the best results when I do so.

I started on 10mg for 1 month and felt horrible! Very bad anxiety and made my pms symptoms worse x 10. Second month I decided to try 20 mg since my medical doctor said most women find their sweet spot on this dose. It still is not working for me. I would say everyone is different and will find different things work but I can honestly say this is not for me. I will finish out the last few days and then garbage the remaining. At least now I know I suppose!

I am trying a a progesterone cream. I haven't been using it long enough to rate it. I wanted it to help relieve post menopausal night sweats as well as reduce belly fat. After I read a side effect could be weight gain I will discontinue the use.

I have been using topical Progesterone and my moods balance was better. Then I would miss ttreatment and thought, I don;t need this, my disposition changed. I am crabby and short tempered. I want to know how long would it take w/daily application to get back to the more calm and gentle me?

I've been on progesterone for 2 months because of pellets inserted for HRT. I've had weight gain, terrible headaches, diarrhea, and bloating. This is the worst thing I could have done. Can't wait for these hormones to get out of my system.
