Carrie,
Have you thought of using a Natural Progesterone Cream that is applied
transderminally? I have used one for the past year and a half with great
sucess. I also have a free weekly newsletter called the Hotflash News.
It is a newsletter promoting womens health, with a wide assortment of
articles, healthy recipes and more, If interested in either email me at
