Introduction to Natural Progesterone Cream Progesterone cream has been one of favorite products since I started helping couples overcome infertility in 1997. It was one of THE first products I got excited about and has more reasons for use than we may ever even find out about. There are other supplements you can take orally to help with low progesterone / to build progesterone production. BUT supplementing is the most natural quick fix for most.
Progesterone is not just a bandage but when you supplement with natural progesterone cream you allow your own body to take that and convert it into more estrogen that will then help you to make more of your own progesterone. It does not cover but converts to make you healthier as you go. It is a far cry from taking NSAIDS for pain. They will weaken your body as they help you in the moment.
If you have low temps, light periods, heavy periods, history of miscarriage, hair loss, long long cycles and many other maladies you will soon find that you are low in progesterone.
The creams we recommend here are all natural progesterone products, with favorable bio-availability, are light and creamy - not heavy and clogging and have between 480 and 600 mg per oz of USP progesterone.
They will not force any action on your body but will gently give you what is lacking while your body gets healthier and able to sustain pregnancy.
BIO-identical means the same as what your body produces itself. This means that natural progesterone will be taken up by your body just the same as your own progesterone produced would be used. It means there won't be any chemicals trapped; unable to be used or removed by the body. All of the creams we carry are BIO-identical. They are all safe and within safe limits per oz.
BIO-available means that the progesterone will be available more readily. Our most BIO-available progesterone cream is Cycle Pro Balance because it is in cold-pressed oils; not heated. All are but Cycle Balance is just rated higher in this respect.
One of the most well known reasons to supplement with progesterone cream is when you are low in progesterone. Doesn't that sound strange? Well the truth is, most women do not know that they are low in progesterone. They have a hard time conceiving or after conceiving they miscarry. Other women have such heavy periods that they need something to offset the excess estrogen (the other very important hormone needed to become pregnant and maintain pregnancy.
We will talk about estrogen dominance in another article.
When a follicle is matured into an egg it does not mean it will be a healthy egg. It only means that it can join with the sperm and produce life. Imagine an egg like a mudball. IRoll it down a hill and as it rolls it gets smaller and smaller, leaving some of itself behind effecting things as it goes. Eventually it makes it way to the end and it is gone. The progesterone given off from an egg is only as good as the egg is matured. At some point the egg has nothing left to leave behind and your body recognizes this and begins the process of shedding AKA your friend, your period, your menstuation.
I find that most of the women who come through our support list and site have short luteal phases or low progesterone. They need progesterone supplementation to get started on this journey and for many it where they leave as well; PREGNANT.
