Gymgurl, I went through went u went through and actualy ended up with an unnecessary hysterectomy at age 35!!!!!!! So my life's goal since then has been to research everything possible about hormones and nutrition and women issues. I was put on estrogen patch after surgery, gained 35lbs in 3 months and dr said it was my diet (NOT!!!) After 1 yr on fake hormones and doing my research by Dr John Lee, and now I am a nutritionist as well, have learned natural progesterone will help u with all of your problems. Both me and my 13 yrs old daughter are living proof. We are estrogen dominant, pmsing, bloated, constipated, bitchy 2 weeks of every month, not me since surgery but her since she started puberty 2 yrs ago. Dr wanted to put her on bc pill. No way. Anyways, natural progesterone is a natural diuretic, helps regulate your period, is calms you, it balances out your estrogen, my daughter no longer has PMS water retention or bitchiness and her period is predictable and limited cramping and last 5 days with less bleeding than prior to using progesterone cream. I am a nutritionist and deal with a company who makes my hormone cream but you can get progesterone cream at GNC or health food stores. Do some research and if you have questions on how to use it, write me at
[email protected]. I have made many women change and it is my God's gift to help others so noone has unnecessary surgeries and takes the wrong meds. Progesterone is a bone builder also since I am menopausal since age 35, I need it to keep my bones strong. It helps you with your metabolism, and it helps you sleep better. John Lee, Natural Progesterone, The multiple roles of a remarkable Hormone is the title of the book. It is $15 and the Progesterone is $19 a month at GNC ( I work there part time and part time I am a nutritionist) Hope this helps all you women!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
