Hi all,
Just thought I'd introduce myself. My husband & I live in Florida and are trying to "simplify" using Ray Peat's recommendations. (I am 48, he is 53). It is going well, but I have a progesterone question... I started taking Progest-e 3 years ago and besides initial drowsiness, I have been very happy with the effects on my overall state of emotional and physical health. Arthritis/swelling/night sweats/mood swings all seem to have vanished while supplimenting, as well as increased bone density, muscle tone, and a 1-inch (stable now) gain in height (we also drink raw milk regularly).
I switched recently to pregnenalone (which he is taking) and seemed to spaz out, LOL, so I went back on the progesterone. I know you are supposed to cycle it, but I had my period stop abruptly around 44 during a period of intense stress, and when I started the progesterone, I just took it consistently. I'm not sure if I'm peri- or post-menopausal and I'm kind of trepidatious about not taking it -- it helps so much! But I would like to see if my period would start back... Someone once told me to "watch out" because some people taking it had late-in-life-babies on it. My new husband has never had any children so I was wondering if anyone knew anything about anyone re-starting menstruation after progesterone usage. I am in otherwise good health, no real problems (just solved my seborrheic dermatitis problem by swimming in the Atlantic Ocean) and am realtively active. I had three prior full-term healthy babies in my previous marriage.
Is the usual dosage two weeks on/two weeks off?
Thanks & blessings to you all!
