Hi all,

liked this article from mercola.com...

http://www.mercola.com/article/progesterone/cream.htm#

and this..

"a synthetic progestin analogue such as Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate) is a molecular modification beyond bio-identical progesterone. But perhaps my GP does not. She may even have been led to believe Provera is natural progesterone. And it's this molecular change (to patent a drug) that has the potential to cause serious side effects in the body. After all, the body sees as natural that which has the same configuration."

Liked mercola's point about biorhythms - to take a hormone analogue in a high dose seems unwise. Disrupting delicate biorhythms is something I haven't seen discussed much. Analogues of hormones don't seem a good idea, when the natural versions are available, and also an analogue can't be metabolised through the whole steroid pathway like the natural steroid.

Has anyone tried the 'tri-est' estrogen with a natural balance of estradiol, estrone and estriol?

Ray
