Has anyone tried seeing a compounding pharmacist for natural progesterone?

I'm on my second cycle and it's helped some with my depression/anxiety and regulating my cycles. He compounds the Nat. progesterone into a liquid from, I take a certain number of drops under my tongue 2 times a day. It seems better than NPC because I can adjust the dose to mimic the progesterone in a normal woman's cycle.

Like, I need more from Days 14-21 , then I start to taper off, etc.

I go through a group in S. CA called MedSpecialties. They have a website, i'm not sure what it is.
Anyone else try this?

Hi Karis,

The way you are taking the progesterone sounds interesting. Do you need a prescription to get it this way?

I take Prometrium, which is a prescription form of natural progesterone. It's available in 2 dose amounts 100mg & 200mgs. My dr. felt it was a better way to go instead of using capsules of compounded progesterone because apparently when its made this way the dosing is more accurate...

Be well,
