Progesterone Cream?
Hi While ladies in natural perimenopause can sometimes find relief from their (mild) symptoms using natural progesterone cream, the reason they can do this is because they can convert some of the progesterone to estrogen, which is what helps with symptom relief. Those of us who are 'ovary challenged' are less able to do that. So, while, as you know, progesterone can help inhibit the growth of any remaining endo implants after surgery, it's not very likely to do much to relieve your symptoms.
I would recommend talking with your DR before using any product, OTC or prescription, that has hormonal activity, given your endo history. Even soy and black cohosh can mimic the action of estrogen, which can cause endo to regrow.
There are other possible remedies for dealing with hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings etc. without taking hormones. You might want to visit the No-Hormone Desert Oasis forum to see how some of the ladies there are coping.
Don't hesitate to let your DR know how your symptoms are affecting you... it's much easier to heal if you're not constantly suffering with hot flashes and mood swings and all the other not so nice symptoms of surgical menopause.
s,
-Linda

Progesterone Cream?
sruendo, My DR. is having me continue on my natural progeterone cream to help get rid of any endo left. I will use it days 1-25 of month then go off until the 1st. I did ask him and we agreed on this. I would always check with DR. before you do anything. I wish you the best.
