Hi Christy,
Thanks for the feedback on progesterone cream. A couple of questions..
Do you have your progesterone levels checked periodically while on the
cream?
Have you had any 'side effects' from the cream? (any problems with your
skin where you use it?)
Do you use the cream all the time or during certain points of cycle?
Thanks for your help!
