Is it that time of the month? These are the words no man should ever utter. How about this for a diplomatic alternative: “Are your GABA receptors playing up?”

About Hormone Levels

Progesterone is a naturally occuring female hormone that is produced by the adrenal glands and the corpus luteum of the ovary. This hormone: 1) prevents breast cancer and cancer of the reproductive system by opposing the effects of estrogen; 2) protects women from osteoporosis by stimulating bone building; 3) helps control abnormal menstrual bleeding; 4) enhances hormone balance, as it is a precursor to other steroid hormones, and; 5) helps prevent symptoms of PMS if used during anovulatory months.

The days when women had no choice but to accept the deterioration in quality of life that usually begins in the perimenopausal years are over. The latest scientific advancements in the field of women’s health have given rise to an unprecedented understanding of the physiological changes that underlie the aging process. These insights have allowed researchers to more accurately study conditions that often affect the lives of aging women, such as uncontrollable weight gain, depression, fatigue, osteoporosis, loss of libido and poor sleep quality.

Progesterone cream works best for most hormone balancing, but the progesterone pill can be more effective for treating insomnia and catamenial epilepsy.

The hormone progesterone can be delivered to the body via a pill, cream, troche (dissolved in the mouth) injection or vaginally. There are advantages and disadvantages to each delivery system, depending on why it’s being used. Although progesterone cream is the superior delivery method for achieving hormone balance, the progesterone pill (Prometrium) can work better for insomnia and seizures.
