Using Progesterone Cream helps get rid of Cervical Dysplasia   How Much Progesterone Cream Should I Use? For the first two to three months use 40 mg/day of natural progesterone. Use it from days 12-26. Day 1 is the first day of the period. This comes out to using 2-3 oz of progesterone cream/oil assuming each oz contains 500 mg of Natural Progesterone per oz of cream/oil. After the uterus revert to normal, use one ounce a month. Women who have a great amount of body fat may have to maintain themselves on two ounces a month. If you have a progesterone cream that has 1000 mg of Natural Progesterone per oz use one half of the above volume. by Elizabeth Smith, M.D. John Lee, M.D. treats cervical dysplasia with 40 mg/day of natural progesterone for the first 2-3 months. Use it from days 12-26. Day 1 is the first day of the period. After the cervix reverts to normal, then he maintains the patient on 20 mg/day. The ovary usually produces 20 mg/ of progesterone. During pregnancy, the placenta produces 400 mg/day of progesterone. Thus, there is a very large therapeutic range for the use of progesterone. Natural progesterone is quite safe to use in doses from 20 mg/day to 400 mg/day. Natural Progesterone is the same molecule that your body produces. In contrast, many of the synthetic estrogens and progestins are chemically modified from the natural molecule and are dangerous to use. See Progestins. Thus, Natural Progesterone is safe for you to use in a very large varying dose. If the cream or oil contains 500 mg/oz , and his patients use two ounces of cream every month during the two weeks before menses, then this comes out to about one (1) teaspoon per day. The cream can be applied to any part of the skin with good circulation. The area may be on the neck, chest, legs, arms, thighs, palms, or soles of the feet. The cream is applied once in the morning and once before bedtime. Some patients experience mild drowsiness after application of the cream. If so, one application before bedtime is fine. IF symptoms such as breast tenderness and bloating (water retention) worsen, STOP the Natural Progesterone immediately, and STOP all xenoestrogens immediately. Wait 1-2 months, for the xenoestrogens to wash out of the body. Then, try the Natural Progesterone again. You should feel some difference in 10 days. If you do not feel some difference, then your skin may not be absorbing Natural Progesterone. Oral Natural Progesterone may be used in this case. The oral dose is 10 times that of the topical dose. Since progesterone is an oil soluble molecule, it is absorbed into the body fat. The body fat acts like a reservoir or sponge and soaks up the progesterone. Thus, women who have much body fat may need to take greater amounts of progesterone for it to work. Skinny women may need to take less progesterone. After using natural progesterone for a while, you will learn what feels better. One sign that you are taking too much is that you become too happy when taking progesterone and when you stop taking progesterone you become depressed. If this is the case, you may be taking too much. Use whatever dose works for you! Summary Use a progesterone cream that gives you 40 mg/day of natural progesterone per day for the first 2-3 months If the progesterone cream/oil contains 500 mg/day, for the first 2-3 months use two ounces of cream per month; this is about one (1) teaspoon per day. If the progesterone cream/oil contains 500 mg/day, after the uterus reverts to normal after 3-12 months, use one ounce of cream per month to maintain a healthy uterus. Apply the cream during the two weeks before menses for 14 days if premenopausal (before menopause) Apply the cream/oil for three weeks on and one week off if postmenopausal (after menopause)
