Hi
It can be so confusing!
Prior to my surgery, I used to buy 'progest' progesterone cream at the health food store, and although it's not close to being the strength that an RX is, it did bring on an extra period every month I would use it. On the months I didn't use it, I would not get an extra period. The point is, that even tho' it is not as strong, it does have some effect on our body. It was about $23.00 per tube, which lasted a long time. 1/4 tsp. was the dosage I believe....
I am on bio-identicals now and still new to those. They have helped with my heart palps, and sleep. Other than fatigue, I didn't really have many other symptoms.
I even have my 84 yr old mom on progest for her bones and to help her sleep at night....
Good Luck!

what progestrone cream to try
Kim,
Are you looking to try over the counter progesterone? Or are you going to try to get a prescription? You could talk with a compounding pharmacist near you. If you don't have a prescription and are looking for an over the counter I have heard that many times a compounding pharmacy will make progesterone to sell OTC. Just an
If you don't want to go that route, here's an interesting thread with things to look for when purchasing progesterone:
