Just a small note concerning NPC... To maximise NPC ( natural progesterone cream) effectiveness, use it twice a day, morning and before bed...why? Because progesterone stays in the body for 8 to 11 hours...by using it twice a day, you get a 24 hours supply of progesterone in your body. Once your symptoms have settled down, you can use it only once a day if you feel like it.
Second thing, progesterone is better absorbed when your pores are opened, after a shower or a bath. If you want to apply NPC without a shower before, then just take a hot towel and rub it against the area you would like to apply the cream to open up the pores.
Also, make sure you use NPC on non-fatty areas of your body. Don't use it on your butt or outter thighs or any other high fat area because progesterone LOVES fat and it will sit in there without being absorbed. Good areas are the upper chest, behind the knees, on the wrists, directly on the ovarian area, on the neck and even on your face. Rotate areas regularly so that you don't saturate any one place.
Fourth thing, if you feel worst on progesterone during the first few weeks this is NORMAL. You body is adjusting...if you've been progesterone deficient for a long time then by giving your body what it lacks, it can make you feel much better initially or worst... everyone is different. To minimize the initial side effects, you can take a phytoestrogen formula during the first month or so.
Last thing, if you have insomnia, seperate your daily dose so that you use more before bedtime...most women who use NPC say that they sleep very well. |
