Does anyone know if this stuff is necessary for overall health versus taking it to improve waning fertility? I mean, is this something that's important to take, like a supplement, even if you are infertile because of bf'ing? Or is it solely used to help with fertility? I am confused. Please help?

It is widely used, to help with annoying peri- and menopausal symptoms.

I can't really think of a reason to just take it as a supplement. It is over used,and abused IMHO. I take it, but had a hyster at age 39. I do know some women who take it as early as age 35,to help deal with peri symptoms.

Does that help?

Thank you. I guess I need to do some research. I'm 38...I'm not really sure what perimenopause symptoms are.

I used it after my last two babies, at age 31 and 32. It really helped keep me on an even keel emotion wise. I have a friend that suffered severe ppd and progesterone cream alone leveled her out enough to function again.

i used it for 1 month after my 3rd baby was 18mo and i was experiencing anovulatory cycles. i also had very low thyroid levels and changed my diet as well. once my cycles were normal, i stopped using the progesterone cream. after my 4th baby, my cycles returned normally and so i did not use the progesterone at all. my understanding is that it should be used to correct a hormone imbalance only.

Lisa and Mary,I'm very glad you mentioned this. A Dr. Hillgers(sp?) from Omaha, Ne(Catholic OB/GYN) has had great success using Progesterone with his post-partum Moms.

Books-and others.....

I wanted to let you know that I wrote about my experience with Progesterone in the St. Anne's Forum,called, All THings Hormones.

To ANYONE considering using progesterone, I would strongly advise you to work CLOSELY with an INFORMED doctor,and to be self-informed.
