For the woman using a face cream containing progesterone whose saliva levels soared and altered cortisol levels: if you use face cream like I use face cream, you are overdosing yourself. My instructions to patients are to massage once or twice daily approx 20mg into arms, upper chest, varying sites each day, and what is left on your fingers, massage into your face. For nearly 19 years I have been measuring salivary hormones and have never seen the high levels we are warned about. Yes, the progesterone and cortisol pathways are interconnected, and cortisol levels that I see crashing and burning are more likely from chronic, relentless stress. Besides the nutrients vit C and pantothenic acid (vit B5), the most important thing I recommend is MEDITATION.

The amount in them is not supposed to impact you at all. But my savilva tests were way over the top and my cortisol flatlined. And the only thing that could account for it was a face cream I use.

I was introduced to progesterone cream in 2002. It has totally changed my life. I had hot flashes for 20+ years, I was not a nice person, I had to have a hysterectomy due to such heavy periods, I could not lose the weight I needed to and I had a very difficult time with arthritis. All of this changed in a matter of months after starting the progesterone cream. It is amazing to think that "just some cream" could do so much for us. And now I sleep through the night. I will never be without this life-saving product. I feel sorry for the women who won't try this product due to invalid claims against it. Dr. John Lee is a hero to so many of us.

I was going through a stressful time in my life (16 year old pregnant daughter) I was crying non-stop over everything, even seeing the American Flag flying in a parade. I went to my daughter's psychiatrist with her and discussed my issues. I started taking Wellbutrin, an anti-depressant. This helped stopped all the crying and I even lost some weight. Then I started taking a progesterone/estrogen cream. Wow, what a difference. I feel wonderful and stresses like that don't bother me anymore. However, I noticed if I forget to use it for awhile, the tears start coming again. Within one day of resuming the cream I am back on deck, feeling myself again. My question is... I am post-menopausal, 64 years old. I had my tubes tied 24 years ago. Should I be taking progesterone by itself? I was told my OB/GYN that I should use a estrogen suppository for 2 weeks before any vaginal examinations to prevent trauma to my vaginal. wall. I am greatful for the information I received on this website. Thank you. Marian Hi,

Well, today after two years on this progesterone creme plus making healthy choices and adding wonderful supplements I corrected my problem (post tubal ligation syndrome) up to 90%! May God bless <a href="http://www.virginiahopkinstestkits.com/readmorejrl.html" rel="nofollow">Dr. John Lee</a>. I have always been healthy but after messing with my hormones I do understand to not FIX something that does not need to be fix. Bummer for us women who have been fixed. BUT THERE IS HOPE!

All the talk is about this new anit-aging supplement Resversatal (spelling wrong) Anyway, I tried it and it totally interfered with my progesterone. I researched it and it is made from a phyto-estrogen. How will taking a phyto-estrogen effect men? They are really pushing this as a wonder supplement. I couldn't make it two weeks without having serious Estrogen issues. Wow, what would this do to woman on Birth Control. Any insight on this. I know so many people jumping on this as Oprah's Dr. Oz recommends. hmmm? Hi.

I am a 57 year old female on 100 mcg Levothyroxin daily and wonder if taking progesterone orally or by cream would be better for me. I have done both but am not taking any biodentical hormones at this time. I thought I read that I may not absorb progesterone well on hypothyroid medication. Is that true? I have migraines and was asked by family physicians to stop them to see if the headaches would get better. They have not so would like to start with the hormones once again. I am experiencing menopausal symptoms which are bothersome and wonder which progesterone (orally or cream) might be best for me? Thank you for any help you can give me. I have a question.
