I have used Progestelle intermittently, so I can't comment on its effectiveness. I have, however, been on Premarin for quite a few years. After I got in my 50's, I decided to quit because I was tired of still having periods. It took at least six months or more for my periods to stop, but because I was not taking HRT, my hot flashes and acne reappeared. As for your own personal symptoms, I would recommend getting with a physician who is trained in hormone balances. Go to the BodyLogicMD or Zone Diet websites for info on getting your hormones tested. Good Luck!

are you by any chance taking dhea? that made my hair fall out in handfulls. if you aren't, you can contact peter via email and he answers fast. he would be able to tell you. ewomhoo@hotmail.com i don't think you should be taking premerin and the progesterone together, that could be your issues. you should get off that synthetic stuff, it will kill you. go bio identical and don't let doctors tell you not to. synthetic hormones are poison to our bodies.

This product work's very well for me but I have too much estrogen. U need a hormone panel done. My MD told me that prescription progesterone is so strong I would have to have blood work every month due to the high incidents of breast cancer.

Didn't take it long enough to notice any diff. I went back to using Kevis shampoo. I had excellent results in the past as it has a patented formula to block/remove dht which is main cause of hair loss in men. However, I feel I also had some success with "hair essentials" which is supposed to be for men and women. Slowed hair loss and balding spot seemed to reverse.

Yes! Thank you! I had the same problem and stopped taking them within a week. I was painfully bloated to the point that my clothes barely fit. I don

I was taking the cream morning and night. I started having cravings shortly after taking the cream and I've never had cravings like this. It was about a week after my period. I am a vegetarian so I eat a lot of veggies, whole grain pastas, etc. I also eat tofu and cheese for protein. I also take a multi-vitamin twice a day that includes all of the vitamins you mentioned.I was reading something online about oestrogen being the primary hormone when you take a product like this if you aren't taking enough . Do you know anything about this?

It is meant to be used for only 14 days of the month for medical reasons. Women naturally increase their level of progesterone 14 days of the month when they are menstruating. So women who are in menopause have to follow the same regimen. There could be side effects to using it everyday - I'd recommend asking the manufacturer. I use my progesterone and estriol creams on the 1st through the 14th of every month, and then just the estriol cream on the 15th to the last day of the month. I apply the estriol every morning and the progesterone at night (on days 1-14). Progesterone can help you sleep. Been using the products for almost one year and am seeing good results.

I take one per day and seem to be getting results from thicker hair over the last 3 months. I am continuing use for that reason.

I have so much hair I didn't notice but my hair seems thicker somehow but I take many other sups. I do like this vitamin for sluggish thyroid. I feel better when I take it for certain.

What these other women have already said is true...progesterone builds up in our fatty tissue. Even though you wouldn't be using it for 2 weeks, technically, it is still in your system. I'm guessing the 2 weeks off allows the body to maintain balance. It is always a good idea to see a naturopathic doctor who can get you the saliva tests to check your hormone levels regularly while working out what is best for you personally.

I think it depends on your age etc... if you are late 30's early 40's or over, most women are low in progesterone at this age. You can have your dr. run a hormone test to be sure. I usually use it 3 weeks then take a week off during my period then three weeks on... everyone is different though! I've had great results personally, but then I'm almost 44 years old and already KNEW from a blood panel test my progesterone was low. I think any doubts about when or how much just talk to your Dr. or nurse practitioner.

My Dr prescribed both products for me. I took Phyto B every day for 26 days and started the Progonal on day 14 thru 28. She wanted me to have a natural cycle so the progonal would sometimes cause a menstrual period. It caused the uterus to shed cells where the Phyto B is estrogen to prevent hot flashes. so, I don't think they are interchangeble.

i only took it 2 weeks out of the month to mimic regular cycles and offset the estrogen i was taking. i wasn't really suffering with progesterone deficiency. sorry can't be more specific.

Yes, I started taking the product because of acne as well as a slew of other vitamins and supplements. Honestly, none of it seemed to work for me and it was really starting to cost me a lot of money as well as being a pain taking all of them about 3 times a day. Little background on me. I am a 28-year-old female with hormonal acne. I finally just started taking the birth control pill (which I never have before) and it seems to be helping a little. Less red and sesitive and less new breakouts. Only been on it for 2 months though. My acne is also due to stress. I have changed some of my eating habits as well. Think positive!

I never really knew it was doing anything until I realized I ovulated way later in the month than I normally do. One thing I did notice about two weeks in was an increase in moodiness that lasted with me my whole cycle. When I got off of it I am back to normal. So it does mess with your hormones.

Women take it too. Personally, I took one pill and cramped for 24 hours so I threw it away. If you choose to take it, hopefully you'll have a better experience.

I don't have bottle anymore. But I was on it 3 months after every shower full hands of hair. I can see the big difference. Hair growing thick and strong. I am taking break now. No Vitamins just healthy food. Spinach is good for hair.
