Menopause is the time in a woman's life when menstruation stops permanently.  Also known as the "change of life," menopause is the point in which the ovaries reduce their production of female sex hormones, a process which begins about three to five years before the final menstrual period.

What Does Progesterone have to do with Menopause?

Due to ovulation cycles, progesterone levels typically decline before menstruation starts and is followed by a decline in estrogen. Throughout the course of a woman's life, estrogen and progesterone hormones are constantly fluctuating.  Progesterone production tends to fall to almost zero while estrogen declines to about 40 percent to 50 percent. It is the imbalance between these two hormones that can cause the symptoms of PMS, menopause, and accelerated bone loss after menopause. Progesterone is essential for survival and its deficiency can cause a wide range of problems.  Natural progesterone cream applied transdermally is stored in the fatty tissues for use as needed by the body to reverse the effects of estrogen dominance.

What is Estrogen Dominance?

Dr. Lee has coined the term "estrogen dominance" to describe what happens when the normal balance of estrogen to progesterone is changed by excessive estrogen or inadequate progesterone.  Estrogen is a potent and potentially dangerous hormone when not balanced by adequate progesterone.  Women, who have suffered from PMS and or menopausal symptoms, will recognize the common symptoms of estrogen dominance: mood swings, weight gain, irritability, tender breasts, hot flashes, night sweats, bloating, headaches, fatigue, depression, loss of energy and sex drive, endometriosis, hypoglycemia, and uterine fibroids.

Would I benefit from natural progesterone even though I've had a hysterectomy?

Yes!  A partial or total hysterectomy generally causes the production of progesterone to stop, but not the production of estrogen.  Recent medical studies have shown that women who have had surgically induced menopause (hysterectomy) or natural menopause can have their hormone levels checked even years later and will only notice a slight decline in the amount of estrogen found in the body.  However, progesterone levels can drop to zero.  (The body can obtain estrogen through food, the environment, and even make it very easily in other organs of the body). This causes estrogen dominance.  This unopposed estrogen can now cause many of the symptoms that you may be experiencing.

How Safe is Pure Relief Natural Progesterone Cream?

The placenta produces about 300 mg of progesterone daily during the third trimester of pregnancy, so we know that a one-time overdose of the cream is virtually impossible.  If you used an entire jar at once it night, it may make you sleepy.

I am currently taking estrogen.  Can I still use Pure Relief?

Dr. Lee recommends that you begin using the Natural Progesterone Cream, while gradually reducing the amount of estrogen.  You do this by skipping days from taking the estrogen pills.  Some people take their estrogen pills every other day, then every third day, and so on.  If you decide to continue taking some form of estrogen, Dr. Lee states that you must take some form of progesterone with it.

Once I start using Pure Relief, how long will it take to work?

It varies from person to person.  Many users notice a difference within the first week or so.  Since every woman's body is different, Dr. Lee states that it could take up to 30 to 45 days to get the full benefit of the product.
