Balanced Woman Natural Progesterone Cream 950mg USP Bio-Identical Progesterone Natural Menopause Relief 2 Oz (1 Tube)

I only used this for about 4-5 days before I got my period so I can't say for certain how well it works, however I am normally really moody and emotional about a week before it comes and it seems like I had less mood swings and irritability. Also, I have horrible cramps the night before I get it and I woke up and surprise I got it without cramps. I am not perimenopausal because I am 25 but I have had seriously irregular periods forever and I am a basket case when I finally get it. It gets so bad sometimes I don't even want to be around myself. It seems that this really works well so far. I will update this review after I have used it for a little while longer and see how it helps balance my hormones.

Was disappointed that I did not see anything with this cream, as I am post-menopausal, that might have had something to do with it. When I was younger it really worked amazingly well with hot flashes, sore breasts and period issues..Guess time does not solve everything

I started using this because my hormones are so out of whack with pre-menopause that I can hardly stand myself (and I feel sorry for my husband and daughter too). I just haven't felt like myself for a good decade. Seriously. There were some things that went wrong in my life (my dad, mom and brother died within a period of 5 years -all really bad endings) and I truly thought that the weight gain, fatigue, and mood swings were signs of depression. And I can say that some of those things WERE due to being depressed ---who the hell wouldn't be---but after a while, I started thinking that these could be a result of a physical problem, not a psychiatric one (I saw two psychiatrists during this time, by the way and didn't take any sort of meds). I just felt like I couldn't "snap out" of it.I also get migraines that I currently take Imitrex for, but I'm so tired of the monthly battle with 3-day hormonally-triggered cluster headaches and migraines that I want to find a better way to deal with them other than prescription drugs. My doctor prescribed it to me, and I still feel like it's a miracle in a pill, especially when I get the "big" ones (I've had to go to emergency for Demerol for one of them), but I'm so sick and tired of taking 10 pills a month and will try anything to wean me off of these pills. They can't be good for my body, even if they do work.As I stated, my mom has been gone for nearly 5 years, but thinking back to her behavior and physical appearance, I'm thinking that I come from a family of estrogen-dominant women and now it's my turn. I'm 44, but I've been dealing with these "problems" since I was in my mid-30s and like I said, they've gradually gotten worse. I mean, I have this awful scowl on my face because I'm either exhausted, confused, crampy or just plain pissed off. My 'tude has been described as "pessimistic", "belligerent", "apathetic", and "depressing" by some of my closest. Am I naturally this way? Hell no! I really am a nice person. I'm just seriously screwed up inside and it's so hard to be happy when you feel like crap every single day of your life!I found this stuff while trying a search for some form of relief. Then I read the late Dr. Lee's books (pre-menopause and menopause), and I was so amazed that I've never been offered any other sort of relief by my doctors (my gynecologist: a woman, my dermatologist: a woman, and my physician: a male, but an educated and young doctor). It just seems like something that is so obvious and available, one would think that the subject might come up.I've used it for about 2 weeks so far, with breaks in between as directed and I have to say that I've definitely felt some difference, and there's no way that it could be imagined. I feel less snappy, although that doesn't mean I haven't lashed out a couple of times, given that I'm a complete devil when my period's around the corner. So far, with this cycle, I don't feel like I'm out of control like I have been for the past 10 years, as if PMS has me, and I can't do anything about it. This, by the way, has gradually gotten worse. I'm also noticing a slight change in my mood, as in I'm a bit more of what I'd describe as an upbeat mood. There is no way that this can be imagined, because while I believe that miracles do happen, I'm also fairly skeptical about stuff like this.So using the cream is kind of messy. Using it in the morning and at night is kind of a pain as well, because it's just another thing to keep track of (I take other prescription meds so this is another thing to mind, especially since I'm still getting my period and have to make sure that I start and stop it at certain times, and I keep track on a word document. The special dispense container hasn't done anything for me -I've found the "pre-dispensed" amounts to be off. It's messy, to boot. I dispense two pea-sized amounts and use that as my guide. I do get a little light-headed on this stuff, and a little bit dizzy on occasion, but it's nothing that concerns me. I'm giving this stuff 4 months. If it doesn't make a marked difference by then, I'll consider it a trial. Will update as the months go along.

MY WIFE TOOK THIS AFTER READING "THE PIE IN THE SKY" RAVES FROM MANUFACTURER OF THIS PRODUCT. SHE GAINED 10 POUNDS WITHIN 3 WKS (SHE WAS SZ 6-8) SHE WAS SHORT OF BREATH AND VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. SHE HAD STOPPED USING AND WAS STILL HAVING SHORTNESS OF BREATH. FINALLY AFTER TALKING TO POISON CONTROL ABOUT PROGESTERONE OVERDOSE - AND READING ABOUT SIDE EFFECTS FROM UNBIASED INDIVIDUALS WE WENT TO EMERGENCY ROOM TO RULE OUT PULMONARY EMBOLUS. PROGESTONE CREAM CAN STAY IN YOUR FAT STORES FOR UP TO TWO YEARS ACCORDING TO SOME SOURCES. BEWARE OF HEALTH CONSEQUENCES. (1,000 DR. BILL AND BREASTS STILL HURT) RIDICULOUS! TODAY WHEN SHE TALKED TO CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY TOLD HER IT WAS ABSOLUTELY NOT THIS PRODUCT AND THEY'VE MADE IT SINCE 1995...BLAH-BLAH-BLAH. PLEASE BE CAREFUL - JUST BECAUSE IT'S NATURAL DOESN'T MEAN IT'S SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess it was too much progesterone for me - got a lot of swelling in my eyes, hands and ankles, also made me depressed - no improvement in menopause symptoms - worse if anything. Took the full dose for three weeks, had a week off then tried a lower dose for a further two weeks. Since it had a pronounced effect (not the ones I was looking for) it will probably work for some women!

I really doubted this product. Especially after it arrived. It seemed TOO simple.A few months ago, I started describing my symptoms to a friend, and she said it sounded just like a lack of progesterone and suggested this lotion. I finally broke down and purchased it.After 7 days of using it, my husband actually noticed when I did not use it one morning. I am less stress, less anxious, have less night sweats, TONS more energy, and just overall feel BETTER. I am no where near menopause, but at some point my hormones level must have gotten off track (not a surprise after having three children and breastfeeding). I can feel such a difference, and I think I have even started to lose weight. My skin looks healthier and I am HAPPIER.

I have been using this product for two months now. It costs twice as much as the Emerita Projest, but has not delivered twice the performance. There is no line on the pump to indicate where the half-way point is, for the all-important "1/2 pump" for the twice daily application, a major flaw in the design. I believe the product itself is less effective than what I was using before (Emerita Projest) as I have had increased issues with clarity in thinking, bloating and breast tenderness w/PMS, everything else being equal in my regular routine. In the positives: I like the delicate scent better, and the cream absorbs more quickly.
