Hi,
I have never tried Progesterone cream. My doctor said that you can't
really count on the amount of progesterone in them. I did try
Prometrium which is a natural progesterone derived from yams. You take
that orally. My doc was using that to try and supress ovulation, but it
caused me to feel depressed. Thanks for the info.
