Bio-identical micronized progesterone has often been called the
feel-good hormone because it elevates mood and has a calming effect.
Women, who have experienced mood swings and migraine headaches on one of
the hormone replacement drugs called Provera, often noticed complete
resolution of these symptoms when switched to bio-identical
progesterone. In addition, bio-identical progesterone was found to have
the best effect on HDL cholesterol. Bioidentical progesterone can also
act as a natural diuretic, in contrast to Provera, which often causes
fluid retention and bloating.
Progesterone levels vary during the menstrual cycle and sometimes can be
related to fertility problems. During menopause the levels also change,
and the levels are usually measured to help determine the best HRT for
each individual patient. Progesterone is naturally secreted by the ovary
in the second two weeks of the menstrual cycle in ovulating women.
Progesterone or progesterone-like substances called progestogens or
progestins are taken by women in birth control pills, menopausal hormone
replacement therapy, or just sometimes to induce a menstrual period or
regulate abnormal bleeding problems or if bleeding is irregular or
prolonged. Progesterone has been used also as therapy for PMS syndrome
and for women with infertility or frequent pregnancy loss.
The female body uses natural progesterone to make natural estrogen. A
properly formulated natural progesterone cream is the natural safe
choice for menstruating women and for post-menopausal women who wish to
establish the correct balance of their two primary female hormones.
