Progesterone?

[stel]

Hi,

Ever since I've been on BE, whatever I've "gained" (or so I tell myself I have okay not really) has made my twins really well, for want of a better word, not-firm?!

I recall Momi' mentioning using Progesterone Cream, does that do the trick? What's the difference between using a cream and taking it internally? (hang on, is there such a thing?) - sorry I've been trying to find posts abt this, but cant really seem to.

Also with the cream, I know its supposed to say USP, but if its got other stuff in it as well (Vit E etc) will that still do? The bottle says there's 5mg / ounce of Progesterone in it.

Sorry abt all the q's, last one! (for now) I recall someone saying its only applied day 21-28 right??

Okok, enough q's! Advice / Help anyone?? Thanks heaps!!

Hi Stel,
I read on a medical site that progesterone & pregnenolone cream are the most effective. Gets to through the system 80% faster than oral, since it does not have to get through the liver or other organs. The only thing that works faster is an IV, that would be hard to explain at work! And yep...make sure it has progesterone USP.

Fawn recommends using progesterone cream every 3rd month of your regiment, to help those glands. Days 21-28. The progesterone keeps the glands healthy. Mine were extremely involuted from breast feeding 3 kidz, bouncing on a school bus for 16 years, and prolly heridity. There has been a tremendous change in their firmness. Now don't get me wrong, they are still somewhat mushy...but WHAT a difference! I don't want rocks on my chest anyway! (like they are even close :

I have been on break for 3 cycles, and used progesterone cream days 12-26. I will be going back at the end of this month, I will do 3 mos BE, 1 mos off with progesterone cream. See how it works...hopefully I will only have to do 3 mos, but...we'll see!

Where is it found? Progesterone is produced in the female body in the ovaries. Progesterone production is high during the luteal phase (second portion) of the menstrual cycle and low during the follicular phase (first portion), as well as being low before puberty and after menopause.


Supplemental sources of progesterone are available in oral and cream forms, as well as lozenges, suppositories, and injectable forms. “Natural” progesterone refers to the molecule that is identical in chemical structure to the progesterone produced in the body, even if the molecule is synthesized in a laboratory.

Just found this interesting and helpful, also another source for confirmation regarding "mimicking puberty"

You know if I spent the same amount of time studying for exams as I did on reading up on BE, I'd probably do quite well!
