Re: Natural Progesterone Cream

not everyone would need the cream - some people get the mirena out and any side effects they had will gradually just fade away, in which case, no problem:) some people who still have side effects after mirena is taken out, can be helped with things like a really good healthy diet, herbal remedies and vitamins like B vits, magnesium, zinc etc. However, for others it seems that the hormones have been so mucked up by mirena that despite our best efforts and pure diets, we still cannot get back on track, even months or a year or so AFTER mirena is out, so in those severe cases, some of us are trying or have tried NATURAL progesterone. This can take various forms, but the general consensus seems to be that the cream is best absorbed and utilised by the body. The natural progesterone is extracted from wild yams in a laboratory, so it is not completely natural, but is as natural as we are going to get, and the molecule produced is identical to the hormone made by our bodies, unlike mirena's and other synthetic progesterone, which have completely different molecules - there are various sites on the internet, and i have listed a couple on a previous post on this page. you could google Dr. Lee Estrogen and you should get quite a few sites come up which will help to explain the theories behind it. This may not help everyone but for those who cannot seem to get right after mirena, it is certainly worth a try I feel. If you have only just got the mirena out, then give yourself some time, you may be fine, but unfortunately only time will tell! I was feeling really good after mirena removal in May of this year, and have only recently had a recurrence of mirena's side effects - i guess my system had been struggling to cope all that time and has lost the battle! so i will try the natural progesterone and see if it makes a difference and post back here as and when. I know it has helped for others though, so i am keeping my fingers crossed. Hope that helps clear things up a bit for you, good luck:) Tweet
