Peri-Menopausal

they are in:

arm, ankles, back of knees, thighs, breast, stomach: alternate daily)
Start using the cream when you receive it, use it for 14-21 days and

Perimenopausal women can use this cream either 14 or 21 days per month. Many women report better relief of symptoms when they use it for 21 days. Please note-you may or may not ovulate when using this cream for 21 days, and pregnancy is still a possiblility
Once again, if using the cream for 14 days: use on days 12-26 of cycle (day one of period is first day of cycle, if using for 21 days: use on days 5-26 of cycle.

for approximately two weeks per month. Usually from day 12-26 of the
menstrual cycle. Normal menstruation should begin within 48 hours or
so of stopping the cream.
Teenage girls with acne: same as above
Use Prolief (without phytoestrogenic herbs) if male, pregnant, trying
to become pregnant, or lactating:
Males:
Apply 1/4 to 1/2 pump (5-10mg) to soft tissues daily. Males will want
to purchase the Prolief Cream that does not contain phytoestrogens.
Infertility: For women who are not ovulating regularly, use
the cream for 21 days (start on day 5th day of cycle) for two months.
On the third month, since your ovaries have rested for two months,
you should ovulate. Start using the cream after you ovulate (you can
use various methods to confirm ovulation i.e.: Basal temp, testing
kits, etc). Once you start the cream do not stop using until
you either get a period, or can confirm that you are not pregnant.
If you do become pregnant do not stop using progesterone cream
until your OB doctor instructs you to. (Usually the second
or third trimester). Women who are ovulating regularly will start
using the cream after they have ovulated each month. Massage 1 (20mg)
into soft tissue (face, neck, inner arm, ankles, back of knees, thighs,
breast, stomach: alternate daily)
WARNING: Discontinuing the cream during an
early pregnancy can cause a miscarriage.
Why are our doctors not telling us this?
This is a somewhat unanswerable question, in my opinion.
One has to look really hard at the history of this issue to see where
the amnesia took over and the hype from the drug companies perpetuated
these myths. But, just because no one is telling us this, does not mean
it is not true. None of the food companies are telling us the incredible
damage that hydrogenated fats create to our cardiovascular, immune,
endocrine, neurological and digestive systems either, but that does
not mean that these nasty fats are healthy. Noone is really telling
us that the "statin drugs" create additional problems by virtue
of their affect on the substrait (i.e. Sterol which converts into-Cholesterol)
in making all of our body's steroidal hormones and the fat emulsifying
bile salts. But they are extremely unbalancing for our endocrine and
digestive systems. So, read all you can and make a good decision. In
closing, I would like for the reader to see a quote from one of the
significant voices of the time, when prescription HRT (i.e. estrogen)
was first being marketed by the pharmaceutical companies. Funny huh?
Bottom line, I don't know why the doctors are not testing
with saliva tests and adding the incredibly important hormone NATURAL
PROGESTERONE CREAM to their suggestions for our health. But when they
do, for sure, more of us will keep our breasts, uteruses, ovaries, prostates,
ovaries, and hair. We will also keep less of our fat tummies and anxiety
and we will sleep better.
