This post is for us girls! Last month I took the supplement I was recommended to take to balance my hormones plus I used natural progesterone cream for the latter half of my cycle (as recommended). I had bad cramps on off for days before my period started late. It was weird. I did some homework on the internet and learnt that the cream can delay the start of menstruation so I stopped the cream and my period started within a day or so. I dont know if the cream was delaying things. But this period was probably my worst ever in my whole life. I’ve been quite ill and awake for several nights which cramps. On the pill my periods were fine and when I had a break a few years ago I was totally fine. I feel like I am trying too hard to balance my hormones and perhaps I need to let my body correct itself. So I’ve stopped the supplement and the cream and we will see what happens. Has anyone else gone through this? I have no idea what is normal!
love and light, Katie x

Progesterone is a very negelcted hormone. It is a vital hormon and crucial as a building block for other hormones. The cream is supposed to be used (1/4-1/2 tsp) during the last 14 days of your period. I’ve been using it for over a year with no side effects whatsoever. You must be careful on the quality of the cream you are using however as there are many low-grade synthetics around. Best wishes. Maria

Hi Maria
Thanks for your comments. You are right about the quality of the cream – I was using organic cream. I’m glad its helping you.
