Just saw my OBGYN today. He wants to try me on a small dose of progesterone 10mg for 10 days to see if my period comes. My heart rate was at a 111 and my blood pressure was a little high.
Do you think that Progesterone will help keep this down.
I am nervous about starting it what do you ladies feel
Hi susan
Should take the 10mg tablets if they are advised by Gyno.
your being advised by a professional and monitored .
Good luck

Has progesterone helped your heart rate and blood pressue come down and your anxieties too
Hi Susan47122, my sister uses a natural progesterone cream and absolutely swears by it, she says it has calmed down all the awful effects of peri-menopause including, what she describes as, almost panicked night sweats. Heart racing, over breathing etc. it took a while to work but she is completely sold on it. Hope that helps
Hi susan
I cant answer that, i do not take progesterone pills.
I am post menopause

Does anyone know where I can get the natural progesterone pills that are either made out of yams or soybeans. Please let me know because with the synthetic ones it cause to much side effects please let me know the names of the ones that are natural that have either yams or soybeans in it.
Hi susan
you should ask your Gyno ...
he's/shes there to help and advise ..
with you saying one B6 tablet had adverse side effects, then its best you seek medical advice about anything i would have thought
be safe

Tell me about it. I'm sensitive to a lot of medications including my thyroid medication at times. I heard and read that the natural progesterone does not have the side effects as the synthetic ones and it is the natural one that works with the body. I have a compund pharmacy calling my OBGYN doctor so they can make me the natural stuff I'm tired of sythetic medications that have to be process by the liver and my liver enzymes are a little elevated because of the mdications I am on.
Not sure if they come as pills I think it comes as a cream. If you google natural progesterone it should come up.
Hi susan
best to get anything via your gyno especially progesterone cream ..
i wont go into details ... Just be careful .. Seek medical evaluation .
dont just buy it off the web and end up like me and Marlene ..

Hi Susan . I am useing natural progesterone cream and have been now for over a year I have found it brilliant helped me a lot . I did speak to my doctor first who was very helpful and assure me it was safe hope this helps
Yes but my OBGYN wants to find out if I'm in menopause before ordering the natural progesterone. He wanted me to do progesterone the synthetic for 10 days to see if that brings my period on and I don't want to bring a period on so I'm going to do the blood test to see if I'm going through menopause then he will order me the natural progesterone. My medical doctor is going to run the blood test.
Hi Wallysgirl
Yes it does come in a pill form made out of yams but speacial pharmacy has to make it for you.
Hi susan
Dont know how long youve been in peri, but if your periods are not declined to approx 3-4 per year then your FSH blood test may come back as normal, hormones are too erractic in early peri. ( you may still be in peri but tests say different ) as hormones spiking up and down ..
Natural progesterone cream restarted my periods and i was well into peri, and other things.
Its HRT at end of the day. Helps some but always do it through a Gyno and professional advice,
All resolved after stopping it, i had a ten year peri, i am 17 months post meno now age 50.
Good luck, hope they find what works for you.

I have not had a period since last year. Have not had one at all in 2014, am having more anxieties, restless nights, sometimes I feel hot them cold, heart rate is high my palpitations started last spring they have stoped now but my heart rate has been high, feel like my legs are like jello to where I feel weak, and stomach problems, blood pressure 157/89 I feel like I'm going through the changes because my anxieties have been up the creek lately more come on out of the blue to where I have feelings of just crying, or screaming, and sleeping too. With how high my heart rate has been 102 on Wednesday and 111 on Thursday its been a scary feeling for me i just want my heart rate at a resting pace around 70 but its always in the 80s or 90s or 100s or above to where I start feeling the panic Have you ever gone through that thats one reason I'm scared of taking this progesterone and with all my stomach problems i have had with other medications and my blood pressure being a little elevated at times its normal and so is my heart rate why else would it be at 111 yesterday and 102 on Wednesday.
