You can skip down to the Summary if you like. I used to use this progesterone cream. It has real progesterone in it but it's light. You might give it a try and see if it helps. I would bet that it would. I need to start taking it again myself. It also helps with osteoporosis, preventing and reversing. You can get some here: You have to use it daily as ordered on the directions. I think it's a 1/2 tsp. per day if I remember right. You smear it on. Oh, and it's plant (soy) based progesterone. I don't think you risk the same side effects with it and it is a low dosage anyway. It also helps with other menopausal problems.
