What is the difference between progesta-care and progesta-care complete. Im pregnant and have been using progesta-care &amp; accidentally got Complete

Progesta Care Complete has 2 added hormones in addition to progesterone. It also contains pregnenalone and DHEA. I'm quite sure that you should not be taking any hormones whatsoever when you are pregnant. I am a naturopathic doctor, not an OB/GYN but I'm positive you should NOT be taking any of these hormones while you are pregnant. My advice would be to STOP them immediately and speak to your OB/GYN about it as soon as possible. I'm assuming maybe you were using progesterone for PMS prior to pregnancy? But when you are pregnant, you must stop it.

I like this one better. Emerita is much more difficult to rub in (Emerita is more like a lotion; this one is more of a cream) AND this product is more concentrated (500 mg USP progesterone per oz vs 450 with Emerita) and is a better value.

Clear care is essentially equivalent to One-Step; although I prefer to have my patients use One-Step. One-Step is ordered on-line from the manufacturer and costs less than Clear Care and is more effective, in my opinion.

i agree with the other responder that a doctor consult would be best, although imo you might not need progesterone if you do not have a uterus. i did not know there were other formulations so regrettably i cannot give a great answer.

To be honest, I never read that instruction and always tested right after I went to the bathroom. And they always worked. So much so that I am 3.5 months pregnant and it tested positive for me a week after my missed period :)

Please don't stop using progesterone cream until you consult your doctor. Some women require additional progesterone in order to sustain a pregnancy. If your progesterone levels drop because you stop using the cream, it can cause a miscarriage. Definitely talk to your doctor before stopping this and to consult with them as to whether you need to use this at all. I am not a medical professional, but I have a medical condition that requires supplementing progesterone in order to sustain pregnancy through the first trimester. So I know you shouldn't just stop using it if you're pregnant. Don't listen to any of us... call your doctor. Please! Please don't stop using progesterone cream until you consult your doctor.

We bought the 2nd one for my husbands boss but he ended up needing it sooner so we have him mine. No difference. Both awesome. I actually only need it once in a while now so I know it works. Strongly suggest you do it 15 min. At least at first. I actually fell asleep on it several times. Really relieved my pain. Good luck!

No this is not the hcg one. Which I'm very upset about. And this one doesnt come with any meal planning/recipe book. Which the apparently the actual hcg one does come with.

Lydia, I believe the difference is that It Works has better results but neither are great. I've had both and I'd never invest in this again because the changes aren't long term and most times I saw no change at all.

This is a excellent question. Progestelle is made fresh monthly. From the time of shipping, the shelf life is one year. What breaks down progesterone is oxygen. Oxygen oxidizes progesterone. Creams have water that contain oxygen, and this oxygen attacks the progesterone. Plastic also allows oxygen through in small amounts and this oxygen attacks the progesterone as well. However, our product does not contain water and is made from glass.

I can tell you that for me, my line was NEVER as dark as the control line. It was very frustrating because I never knew whether I was actually ovulating or not. I finally learned that I was ovulating, even though my line was never as dark as the control, because I actually got preggo on a cycle in which that happened! It's all about learning how your own body works. I guess I just didn't make "enough" LH to show correctly on the test, but I started being able to judge when the line was as dark as it was going to get. Good luck!

The progesterone that we use is micronized, then completely dissolved in the coconut oil. It is likely that the absorption is superior for most people to micronized because it is completely dissolved. However, completely dissolved progesterone has not been tested compared to micronized progesterone for absorption as far as I know. Clinically, we have used this on 20,000 patients from 1999 to 2013 and in mission critical applications and it works. Less than 1% of patients do not absorb our formulation well as confirmed by saliva testing. These non-absorbing patients seem to do well with competitor's products. Conversely, some patients that use competitor's products and do not seem to absorb well, appear to absorb well with our product. The reason behind this conundrum is unknown at present.

I was just listening to a podcast with the health consultant for this products manufacturer. There is NO difference between any of the products. If you look at the ingredient list, it's exactly the same. The reason they packaged each of the 3 differently is so that buyers wouldn't be confused as to which problem they were trying to address. This makes sense. If you're 25 and suffering from PMS, you're not likely to buy a product designed for menopause. So they called it MacaHarmony. If you're say 65 and past menopause, you probably not thinking about a product for PRE-menopause. What's interesting is that this doctor said that this particular maca product has different actions on a woman's body depending on what she needs....even though it is the same ingredient. That's what "adaptogens" do, adapt to individual needs. Hope this helps.

Hello, I started on CD 20. My period started 16 days after that. I have really wacky cycles, unfortunately my pregnancy did end in M/C. I already started drinking it again in hopes of a sticky bean:-) GL

They do tell you to wait 5 mins prior to reading the OPK. You should come to Just Mommies, it is a pregnancy forum and we compare tests etc and help each other out. There is a lot of useful info as well! If you happen to join, let me know your user name and I will be more than happy to introduce you to some of the regulars!

I think pre is for "pre natal" and post is for after baby is here, but I don't know how you would use them post delivery, it's not like they are baby headphones or something and they don't really sound all that loud to be used as speakers....
