Jean Morgan asked:
Achieving balance between estrogen and progesterone helps to restore the body’s natural hormonal state and lessen the occurrence of severe PMS symptoms.
Premenstrual syndrome or PMS is the onset of various symptoms both physical and emotional that occur in an estimated 75 - 90% of women of child-bearing age, between 2 and 14 days prior to the onset of the menstrual period. The symptoms related to PMS are numerous (over 100), and occur most often in women from their late 20’s into their 40’s. Some of these include abdominal cramps, water retention, weight gain, moodiness, fatigue, lower back pain, breast tenderness, headache, irritability, depression, and food cravings.
A definitive cause of PMS is not known. For a number of years, PMS was considered a psychological condition, a view which completely ignored the hormonal, nutritional and biochemical characteristics related to the syndrome. Today it is widely thought that PMS is the result of women’s sensitivity to hormonal shifts during the course of the reproductive cycle.
About 10% of women who experience PMS have severe symptoms causing a disruption in their lifestyle. While stress can aggravate or amplify the symptoms of PMS, it is not a direct cause of the condition. PMS symptoms usually diminish or disappear altogether once the menstrual period (bleeding) starts.
PMS is usually diagnosed based on the collection of symptoms a woman may experience. Relief can be found through a number of remedies including taking magnesium or calcium supplements, regular exercise, and avoiding stress. Medical treatment is available for relief from severe symptoms.
The symptoms of PMS are related to the normal levels of estrogen in the presence of low progesterone, or elevated estrogen and the condition of estrogen dominance. In this condition, PMS symptoms are evident and can be amplified. When balance exists between estrogen and progesterone, the symptoms of PMS are lessened, giving a woman suffering those symptoms much desired relief.

Debra Marlow asked:
Samantha had tried everything to get pregnant. She and her husband had gone through years of marriage without a baby and it was taking it’s toll on her and her husband. Yet she held out hope there would be a solution. Then one day someone suggested to her a different treatment, something she hadn’t tried before…
Getting pregnant can be complicated. Besides timing intercourse perfectly, both partners need to be healthy and have normal hormone levels.
Progesterone is one of the primary female reproductive hormones. It is produced by the corpus luteum, which develops immediately after ovulation. Every hormone has a function and progesterone is no exception. It thickens the lining of the uterus in preparation for the implantation of the fertilized egg. It works by increasing the nutrition and blood supply to the uterine lining.
The progesterone released by the corpus luteum helps to build up your endometrium so that is ready for implantation of a fertilized egg. If pregnancy does not occur, the progesterone levels begin to drop off, causing the endometrial lining to shed in the form of your menstrual period.
You might need progesterone supplementation if you have:
luteal phase disorders
amenorrhea (absence of menstruation)
oligomenorrhea (infrequent menstrual cycles) oligomenorrhea
anovulation (no ovulation)
Progesterone testing
Progesterone levels rapidly rise from 2-3 mg/day to an average of 22-25 mg. per day, peaking as high as 30 mg/day. If fertilization does not occur in ten or twelve days, progesterone levels fall dramatically.
Checking progesterone levels is a reliable way to determine whether a woman has ovulated. In most labs, a level above 2.5 ng/mL indicates that ovulation has taken place. Progesterone levels vary throughout the month, so it can be difficult to accurately tell if a woman’s progesterone level is low.
Progesterone supplementation
This fertility drug can be administered orally, through injection, or through vaginal gels and suppositories.
Progesterone taken orally is known by the name Prometrium. . Although oral progesterone is usually preferred to more abrasive procedures like injections and suppositories, it’s success rate is lower. Suppositories have less side effects than oral progesterone, but it can lead to some discomfort when it comes to the vaginal discharge after insertion. For sure injections are the most effective and are usually administered during IVF treatments. Injections are an inexpensive way to administer progesterone. Despite the positive nature of progesterone injections there could be a chance that the woman is allergic to the suspension oil.
Even if you have a normal progesterone level, during treatment with fertility drugs, doctors may use medication to prevent premature ovulation. Side effects may include nausea, constipation, headache, drowsiness, breast tenderness, and joint discomfort.
Natural treatment methods include natural progesterone cream, vitamin B6, E, magnesium, and evening primrose oil, vitex agnuscastus (man jing zi, chasteberry), reducing stress, less exercise, and increasing low body weight.
Staying Focused
One most always keep focused and a positive outlook through any fertility treatment. Progesterone whether it is administered orally or through injection is no different. Many times what didn’t work the previous year, could work now. The main thing is to never despair and constantly keep up with new fertility treatments.

Jean M. asked:
Menopause is one of the worst times in a woman’s life. A woman’s body is going through so many hormonal changes such as the estrogen and progesterone levels are completely imbalanced. This can cause many symptoms for women if not treated properly. Some of the symptoms include:
Painful cramps
Hot flushes
Achy and sore breasts
Lower back and abdomen pain
An extremely short fuse that causes you snap at anything that breathes
If you are suffering from one of the following or all of the following you are experiencing menopause symptoms. These need to be treated right away not only to relieve you of these symptoms but also to prevent massive bone loss. Most women lose up to 25% of their entire bone mass due to menopause. That is horrible and just not fair.
Luckily, there is a drug out there called natural progesterone and the effects of low progesterone doses work wonders on your body. This is an all NATURAL treatment that completely eliminates the effects of menopause and PMS symptoms while slowing down the progression of menopause. You will see a substantial difference in the loss of bone mass from someone taking natural progesterone and someone not taking it at all. The worst thing you can do is depriving yourself of such a wonderful all natural cure. The reason why it works is that when a woman goes through menopause there is a natural imbalance of progesterone and estrogen levels. When you take natural progesterone treatments you are eliminating this progesterone deficiency.
The effects of progesterone work wonders. There is good news of restoring balance and normality to your life, even if you have suffered from these symptoms for years. There is no other drug on the market that has these types of effects. There are no harmful side effects using progesterone due to the fact that it is all natural.
Where does progesterone come from?
Progesterone is derived from an all natural plant and than turned into progesterone cream for easy use. Most women apply this cream to their cheeks, anywhere on body, or buttocks. The cream works by going through your skin than directly into your bloodstream for immediate relief and effect. I started using progesterone cream at the first symptoms of menopause. Let me just tell you one thing, it was the best thing I could have ever done for myself! My cramps, insomnia, weight gain, etc. where gone the next day! It took about a week to see my weight going back to normal but my cramps and inability to sleep were gone! I was finally able to live a healthy life where menopause wasn’t the only thing I worried about. Most people do not know about the benefits of progesterone so by reading this article you can help spread the benefits to someone severely suffering from menopause symptoms. Again, I wish you the best of luck and please don’t let menopause control and ruin your life!

Melyn asked:
After TTC for 4 years, my obgyn started the series of the progesterone level check. I always seem to get migraines around my AF. I have done some online checking and have found that low progesterone levels cause infertility AND migraines/headaches around cycle. As anyone else had these two relate? It’s almost a sure sign that I will find out it is low. Possibly curing my problems conceiving and my migraines.

Hi all, I’m not presently trying to get pregnant, but I did have my hormone levels tested a few weeks ago.
Hi all, I’m not presently trying to get pregnant, but I did have my hormone levels tested a few weeks ago.
My progesterone is low (about 3) and my testosterone is high at 94 (it’s actually normal, with anything over 100 being high)
My doctor prescribed Prometrium to raise my progesterone levels. But what I’m am worried about is the long term issues.
I would like to have more children and I’m wondering if my progesterone levels could be a sign of infertility, or if my levels being low could affect my chances of getting pregnant within the next few years.
I am 34 years old and dating a wonderful man who wants to have children some day. I would hate to move on further with the relationship and then not be able to have the children that he so desperately wants.
I’m so worried about it, since I care about him very much and I want to be with him, yet if I can’t have kids anymore (I have an 8 year old now) I would never want to take that away from him.
Help me!
