Symptoms of female hormone imbalance - more frequently asked questions
I have personally had amazing results using Natural Progesterone as a way to naturally elleviate symptoms of female hormone imbalance. Here are some common symptoms that women do not often realize can be related to a hormone imbalance.
1. Can a hormone imbalance make you tired a lot?
Yes. Chronic fatigue is a common symptom of progesterone deficiency. It is usually related to stress. Unfortunately many women now experience adrenal exhaustion, particularly in their mid thirties, rendering their adrenals incapable of making enough progesterone to counter the stress: a vicious circle. High levels of progesterone are needed to overcome chronic fatigue - 200mg/day of supplemental progesterone has been found to be beneficial when maintained until the symptoms have disappeared. Once the symptoms have subsided the amount can be reduced to the level of stress being experienced.
2. Can back pain be related to a hormone imbalance?
Yes. These are all typical estrogen dominance symptoms: general aches and stiffness, particularly in the morning, pain in the joints and back, fatigue and difficulty sleeping. Many find their symptoms increase before menstruation. Progesterone is an excellent anti-inflammatory as it is the precursor to cortisone. Used as a skin cream and rubbed directly onto the painful area it has been known to help many people.
3. Can stress and irritability be related to a hormone imbalance?
Yes. If you encounter a mildly stressful situation your body draws on its progesterone to produce the hormones (adrenal corticosteroids) to counteract it. These are the hormones that protect against stress. BUT, if your body is in a constant or permanent state of stress it can’t provide enough progesterone to be converted into anti-stress hormones and the result is adrenal exhaustion and no left over progesterone for other normal body functions. It’s a bit of a catch 22 – constant stress reduces our levels of progesterone resulting in too much estrogen which leads to more stress and irritability. Supplementing with a natural progesterone cream particularly during overly stressful times can halt this vicious circle.
4. What are the side effects of progesterone cream?
Health, joy and happiness!
There really are no known harmful side effects for the use of natural progesterone cream - no adverse side affects have been reported and many people have benefited from its use for over 30 years.
5. Can a hormone imbalance cause food cravings?
Yes. One of the many functions of progesterone is blood sugar regulation. Therefore if your estrogen levels are too high and your progesterone levels too low, food cravings and binge eating is a common result. Natural progesterone helps normalize blood sugar levels. When your blood sugar level is too low – you crave food – usually high-sugar or sweet foods such as chocolate. Anyone not experienced chocolate cravings during PMS? If you indulge in these quick sugar fixes your body stores this excess sugar … as fat. As you correct your progesterone deficiency you lose weight and food cravings ease off.

Natural Progesterone Cream safety
Here are some more frequently asked questions about Natural Progesterone Cream safety.
1. Is Natural Progesterone a safe way to raise progesterone levels?
Is natural progesterone safe to use, is a most frequently asked question. Here’s what Dr Paul Layman had to comment about Natpro and its possible side effects. He practices in the UK and runs a cancer clinic.
"Natpro is safe as houses as far as I am concerned. People get ill because their systems are out of balance. Bringing the hormones back into balance with progesterone is part of the healing."
2. What are the benefits of progesterone cream?
When you correct a hormonal imbalance such as a progesterone deficiency, your body will begin to re-balance itself. The symptoms that manifest as a result of the imbalance and the ways in which they re-balance themselves are unique to each individual. Remember progesterone is the “master hormone” and once your body is getting enough of it, symptoms that you thought were not even related to hormone imbalances tend to disappear.
This is why Natural Progesterone Creams can appear to be a miracle cure. However, the use of natural progesterone is not a cure-all, but it is a basic building block that in this modern day many people find themselves lacking.
When the body is in balance, health is its natural state.
Because there are so many benefits to using natural progesterone I’ve dedicated an entire web page to them. Click here for full details.
3. What is the difference between natural progesterone vs progestin?
Confusion exists between the words progesterone and progestogen or progestin. Progesterone is a natural hormone made by the body and which is now being made from the plant extract diosgenin or stigmasterol. Progestogen and progestin, on the other hand, are synthetic hormones (with a molecular structure that differs from that of progesterone) used by the drug companies in oral contraceptives and HRT in preference (for commercial reasons) to the natural hormone. The contra-indications, precautions, and adverse reactions of these synthetics hormones make for horrifying reading.
4. If Natural Progesterone is as amazing as it sounds, why hasn’t my Doctor told me about it?
I do not believe that anyone going into medical practice decided to do so as a way to harm or misguide people. Doctors often come up at the short end of the stick when the negative effects of things like estrogens and synthetic progestins etc start coming to light. The simple fact of the matter is they know no better!
Natural Progesterone supplementation is not taught in medical school. Therefore, when discussed with conventionally trained doctors they do not fully comprehend progesterone's functions. Nor do they realize the dangerous consequences of prescribing synthetic hormones such as Progestins and branded drugs.
On-going ‘education’ is provided to Doctors by major pharmaceutical companies who obviously have an interest in the synthetic patented products. They play down the negative side effects and tout its benefits.
The reason that the pharmaceutical companies are not singing the praises of Natural Progesterone from the rooftops is because it is natural and therefore – it cannot be patented! Because it can’t be patented it can’t be monopolized and therefore they won’t touch it, endorse it or recommend it because – there are no big profits involved!
