This Patient Believes Progestelle and the Booklet of Information Literally Saved Her Life

I am Pretty Healthy Now.

Hello Dr. Eckhart,

My Lupus is in remission and has been for quite some time now.  I employed all the xenoestrogen reduction strategies you gave and no longer need as much progesterone (but sometimes I still need it).  I cannot tell you just how much you helped me.  It took a long time to get a handle on everything but now, I even make my own mineral makeup so that there is no crap in it.  I regularly share not only what you taught me, but your website with others as well.  

I also placed my family on a reduced xenoestrogen strategy, particularly for skin absorption.  Your information helped my youngest daughter (age 20) as well.  

I am pretty healthy now.  My weight is finally starting to come off too.  As active as I am, that should never have been a problem but somehow my thyroid was trashed.  It's treated with Armour Thyroid but I was unable to lose any weight until you helped me.

Thank you again.

It's Not Easy to Go Without All the Xenos in the Environment.


This product really works, when you go by the book this doctor has thoroughly outlined. It's not easy to go without all the xenos in the environment, but when you stay free of them, you also get rid of your symptoms, it seems. And I didn't even need the oil anymore after that.

Excellent product 

I've tried several versions of progesterone cream. There are a couple versions that are a bit cheaper, but honestly none can hold a candle to this one. I am certain I get more if it into my system than the others provide, using an equal dosage. Also my skin begins to react/rash about the creams after a few months, I've been using this for a year and my skin hasn't reacted at all. I wish it were a little cheaper but I order it two bottles at a time and don't plan to change.

There is Not a Trace of Irritation… 

I am thrilled to find a progesterone product that actually sinks down into my skin, the coconut oil is divine and leaves my skin oh so soft! I'll never go back to the creams that leave a waxy, greasy, chemically residue on my skin. I can put Progestelle anywhere on my body, the coco oil is so pure, There is not a trace of irritation…

I LOVE This Product! 

I LOVE this product! I love it that you use only a couple of ingredients as I am allergic to copolymers like acrylates--carbomer (which MANY producers of products utilize to emulsify), etc. I also love it that you use glass bottles, as I am very sensitive to xenoestrogens and many plastics contain them I believe I was exposed to high amounts of estrogenizing chemicals from a neighbor's use of herbicides/pesticides as they used them on a hill above us and they ran into our garden and possibly into our well. All the women in my immediate family exposed to this have had estrogen-dominant (xeno) problems. 

I became multiple-chemical sensitive (mostly to those things that tend to "estrogenize") and I am now improving greatly with your guidance and product. I also use a small amount of estrogen oil product and it is also made with few ingredients also (the only thing I did not like about it is that it comes in plastic bottles --wish it was glass, like yours, or you also made a bioidentical estrogen product like you do progesterone). 

Use of your product and small amounts of the bioidentical estrogen has abated some VERY negative symptoms and I am now MUCH healthier. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

Worked Far Better than Anything I Have Ever Tried. [Better than other Progesterone Creams]

Best Hormone Balancer By Far

This company provides a booklet & sheets on how to detox from xenohormones and get free from hormone imbalance hell, and the infertility it also causes. I have lost weight, sleep better, and I have radically cleaned out toxic chemical laden shampoos, lotions, spices foods makeups, and toothpaste & laundry soap with the help of these GENIUSes!!

My mother & I are also successfully eliminating the thyroid (decrease 1/4 grain every 3 weeks) we had to get from the doctor by just using this super pure product. If you do it right, and eliminate all the estrogen dominant causing chemicals in your makeup, lotions & etc, then IT SIMPLIFIES YOUR LIFE AND YOU'RE NORMAL!!! Not bloated, not anxious, but calm, because the Progestelle is WONDERFUL to help me sleep.

Also it has been so FUN to use the cosmetics they can recommend as being not chemical laden. The Zuzu eyeliners and the makeups and such products they so kindly list are perfect substitutes for all the harlot Mac & Chanel & was using to look putty while being tragically hormone imbalanced. I wanted to look pretty, and fashionable, & this progestelle program doesn't disappoint & turn one into a burlap wearing hippie. I had no idea essential oils were hormone disrupters, but having the air clean, not having smells in my bath, my deodorant, all over the place, really, this is a very clean peaceful atmosphere, & it saves you money!

Persistence Pays Off

I began using Progestelle at 1/2 or perhaps 1/3 of the recommended dosage. Therefore, the changes occurred more slowly. I have always been acutely aware of how my body responds to changes and I chose to make the transition slower. Therefore, while I did not see huge results immediately, I did sense that changes were taking place after about two - three weeks. Now after slowly increasing the dosage and continuing to modify my lifestyle to eliminate most xenoestrogens, at nearly the six-month point (my third bottle of Progestelle) I am experiencing many of the benefits reported in other reviews.

The Best Natural Progesterone Product

Progestelle oil is amazing!!
First, I have definitely felt the difference using natural progesterone in general. I felt awful during the short periods I took the birth control pill, which is high in artificial "progesterone" (doctors often say synthetic progestins are similar to real progesterone, but they're chemically and hormonally quite different). I am in my late 30s and nowhere near menopausal but I have had hormonal imbalances and weird menstrual cycles all my life. A few years ago I was diagnosed with fibroids, and I have had other issues related to the hormonal imbalance like severe cramps, prolonged periods, thinning hair. My GYN prescribed crinone gel, which does in fact contact natural progesterone, but comes in a high dose that you take once every two days. Since I have read elsewhere that progesterone remains in your body only about 12 hours, taking an giant dose every two days doesn't make all that much sense. It caused weird sensations (very high progesterone can affect your digestive tract because it relaxed smooth muscle). And, the crinone came in a vaginal suppository gel- not fun.

So I started looking for progesterone products that you apply to your skin. I tried a few different brands of natural progesterone creams. The progesterone creams did work. My periods went back to around 7 days instead of 10 days or longer. My cramps were much better. Also, my energy levels were better and I was sleeping better. Progesterone does seem to help me sleep when I take it at night. The only drawback was that the creams were a little heavy and sometimes smelled funny.

Which brings me to the second awesome thing about Progestelle - the carrier oil they use is perfect! It's a very light, odorless oil. It absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a smell. It's very easy to use. I even put a few drops in my facial moisturizer and I have noticed that the fine hairs on my upper lip and chin are growing much less. This makes sense since estrogen dominance can also cause too much testosterone. The progesterone helps correct all that. Basically, Progestelle oil has given me all the benefits of the other progesterone products without the drawbacks. I love that it is all natural and the ingredients are so simple - only coconut oil and progesterone. The oil doesn't clog pores and makes a pretty good moisturizer by itself. The concentration is comparable to other products. And finally, they ship very quickly and the price is right. Overall, it's a perfect product.
If you are experiencing any hormonal issues, at any age, I highly recommend trying this product.

Awesome Stuff!

This progesterone is hands-down the best progesterone I've used. I was on a different progesterone before this one (sublingual bioidentical troches) and was getting all kinds of side effects from them; this one is like magic. I've been doing the program Dr. Eckhart suggests (cutting out xenoestrogens; he has tons of information on his site womhoo.com) and though its difficult, it's helping! I can slowly feel myself getting better. This progesterone is like my stepping stool to getting back to helping my body produce my own progesterone again. :) Definitely try it. You will be glad you did.

Smooth And Easy

I've used a few different variations of progesterone cream but this seems to be working the best for me. It soaks into the skin quickly, doesn't have a weird smell and I felt the effects after two weeks. This is the one I will continue using. Plus it comes with lots of great information, that's helpful.

Progestelle Works

My hormone test shows that it is working!

"Online Reviewer"

Progestelle

Progestelle is a great product that I would happily recommend to others. For me, it worked faster than progesterone cream at helping to balance hormones, and I believe that is because it doesn't have herbs and chemicals in it which may actually be estrogen promoting. Any woman who is searching for an effective progesterone product should definitely give this one a try!

Karen

Awesome!!

Best stuff i have ever used and love that it comes with very important information no one else tells you. I'm done with any other products of this kind from anyone else. This is the BEST!!

Patricia Mcdermott

The Best!

This is pure and simple - no estrogen stimulating additives or questionable preservatives, plus it can be used vaginally or rectally. I have had problems with absorption, and this is one that truly works for me.
It is the best!

In General I Feel More Stable And Balanced

Dear Dr. Eckhart,
I feel better than 2 months ago. I am taking additionally vitamine B and Sumacazon (food supplement containing maca, and aimed at strengthening the endocrine system.

Progestelle is making me being a bit sleepy indeed, I am taking it mainly before bedtime, and a bit in the morning, on the face.

In general I feel more stable and balanced. I will continue with Progestelle, and I believe the monthly period will stabilize.

Best regards,

Overall I Feel So Much Better

Hi Dr. E.,
Just a quick update..
I have now had 2 normal periods. The first period the hemorrhagic flow stopped. I still had a heavy period, but was not hemorrhaging. My clots were 1/2 of what they were the previous month. The following period was normal. No clots, moderate flow, and no cramps. So, after 5 years of hemorrhaging I have had 2 non-hemorrhagic periods. I'm ecstatic. I believe it is the combination of progestelle and vitamin A.

I am using a very small amount of progestelle - I have used the same bottle for 3 months, and it still has 1/4 left.
My energy is good. I am very pleased. I have recommended your site to another woman with heavy periods.
Migraines are the same, around 20 per month, but they are long-standing (since '92/93) and I am thinking it may be a long term project.

I have almost completely occluded nasal passages (nasal polyp on one side, and the other side healed sealed shut after a nasal polypectomy 20 years ago). My twin brother has had 3 sinus surgeries due to sinus infections and headaches.This may have something to do with my headaches. I can almost never breath through my nose. I am now considering nasal surgery in order to have a functional airway.

I continue to follow the guidelines for laundry det., soap, shampoo, etc.
Overall I feel so much better.

Thanks,

The Side Benefit Is I Don’t Have Insomnia At All

I received my Progestelle over the weekend and I read the booklet and other information that came with it several times. Now I understand better what I was going through. I will NEVER use birth control again! I can also tell you that I have eliminated some, but not all Xenoestrogens and do not use plastic in the microwave anymore, and I already see a difference.. I also went to the farmer's market and got all organic fruits and veggies. In addition, I didn't really know that progesterone causes sleepiness so now I only use the oil at night, and the side benefit is I do not have insomnia at all. I sleep like a baby and I am not as tired and sluggish during the day. All of these changes are already making a difference and I have only been using the oil for about 3 days.

Thanks again for all you do for women everywhere. I went ahead and cut and pasted my medical form into this e-mail, but it may be moot at this point now that I read the booklet.

Thanks & best regards,

I Do Feel More Alive And Healthy

Since I have started using progesterone, my thyroid meds have had different effects on me. Am in the process of re-regulating them and, hopefully, not needing them any longer. During this time period, my endocrinologist asked that I use less progesterone. He really wanted me to use none, but I refused. I am back on my orginial dosage, but I do have 4 unused bottles that I need to use before receiving additional shipments.

Since I began using your progesterone, I do feel much more 'alive' and healthy. I have discontinued the synthetic estrogen and now use a compounded Triest. Since I had a total hysterectomy in 1996, I have had comments from my OB/GYN and endocrinologist about not needing any progesterone. I inform them that I feel better while using it, so I will continue to use it.
Thank you for providing support for me and others.

Yes, please feel free to use my testimonial, especially if it could help others realize there is a difference in the way they will feel with the progesterone.

I’m Feeling Better Than I Have In Over 7 Years!!!!!

Hello,
I recently switched to your natural progesterone and also have been changing all my skin products, detergents etc (as best as possible)...I can honestly say that I've been feeling better than I have in over 7 years!!!!! My only concern is that when I stop applying the progestrelle (on my 26th day) I immediately feel so much worse and my period doesn't come immediately either...I have read (Dr. John Lee and many other books relating to my condition of endo and fibroids) and some have suggested using progesterone every day...I would like to know what your professional opinion and experience is on this matter.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you,
V. C. - Los Angeles, California

Editor's Note: V.C. should feel better in about 2-3 months if and only you have switched all the stuff that goes on the skin. It takes about 2-3 months for these chemicals to wash out of the body. Some women use a little progesterone during cramping to stop cramping.

I Have Lost 28 Pounds

I've been on a modified Paleo diet.. Lots of lean protein and veggies..everything is fresh and organic. Nothing is from a box or a can, except I still use organic canned tomatoes. I totally eliminated sugar, carbs. dairy, and caffeine. Fruit is limited to one apple or pear daily, because of the sugar. My exercise consist of walking and gardening. ( at least 4 days a week)

I have changed lots of things from make- up to laundry detergent. Everything is from the purple sheet. And I have been following the guidelines on the yellow sheet. Also focusing on diet, everything is organic, lots of green leafy veggies, limited fruits, because I want to limit sugars,& carbs. and organic meats,chicken and fish. Also I am taking Iodoral, I'm up to 1/2 tablet daily. Feeling much better. More energy. I have lost 28 lbs. since January 2012.

I Began To Notice An Improvement In My Energy

About 6 months ago I was having several long term, chronic symptoms and would spend many a night perusing the internet to find a possible cause. I had been to many doctors over the years who informed me that it was all in my head because, "according to the blood work", I was healthy. It was all very frustrating. I was experiencing headaches that occurred around my menstruation, twitching around my eyes and in my abdominal region, dry flaky skin, constant sleepiness, high cholesterol, etc. I tried many things. Especially, for the headaches and twitching. Nothing worked! Then I found Dr. Eckhart's website. I immediately tried the progestelle and purchased the magnesium he recommended. WOW! The Mag stopped the twitching within days!! The Progestelle worked just like he said it would. At first, I had a horrible panic attack. So, I kept the recommended dosage but took half in the morning and half at night. I followed his instructions so as to remove estrogenic substances from use. After about 3 months, I began to notice an improvement in my energy, stopped taking nsaids for the headaches, was sleeping much better, and noticed a marked improvement in my skin. I stayed on the full dose another 3 months and now am tapering off. I still continue to avoid foods and substances on THE LIST. I am very satisfied with this product and am currently taking the bioflavanoids and iodoral. It's refreshing to know there are still M.D. 's out there that seem to really care about women's health and well being.

Dr. Eckhart, my sincere thanks!

You Are Amazing!

I just had to write. You are amazing! Thank you so much for recommending the iodine. I truly think I was desperate, depressed and discouraged. Lugol's Iodine solution arrived a few days ago. I was somewhat skeptical, as it gave no instructions on the bottle and said, "Talisman only," which kind of freaked me out. But I followed your instructions and I already notice an improvement, especially in my hair and skin. Without a sympathetic doctor here in France, you have helped me greatly. I will continue to supplement with progestelle.

Thank you again.

Peter,
Yes, feel free to use my testimony. I feel great. I am only 57....so I may be coming back around to chat with you....who knows.
Before I used progestelle, I was highly estrogenic, had uterine fibroids, hot flashes, heart palpitations - the whole gambit of hormonal anguish. Now, after a few years of Progestelle, I feel great! My bone density scores have always been high and continue to be so. My skin is supple and my sex life is great.
I have no qualms.

My Cyst Had Vanished!!!

I developed a labial cyst about eight years ago and was told by three gynecologists that removing it would require surgery in a hospital because of the likelihood of excessive bleeding in that part of the body. Excising it was the only solution, they said, and the surgery alone was going to cost $1,000 (eight years ago; surgeon's fee), plus the cost of the operating room, the anesthesiologist, medications, etc.

I received my Iodoral, which you had recommended, and was working my way up to 12.5 mg (or more) a day. One day I took a full tablet and nothing happened so I was happy.

A few days later I discovered that my cyst had vanished!!! I could hardly believe my fingers (trying to find it!). It was gone!
Thank you for recommending the Iodoral, Dr. Eckhart, and for saving me all that heartache and money!

The Only Progesterone I Have Found With No Questionable Ingredients!

By far the best progesterone out there! Two ingredients...(fractionated) coconut oil and USP progesterone. It absorbs into the skin very nicely so I just use it right when I get out of the shower....just during my luteal phase. It has drastically reduced my awful cramps from 2-3 days of hell to 1-2 days of hell. My PMS is so much better. My breasts no longer get cystic. My skin is clearing up even though I notice it is more oily in general during my luteal phase. I try to follow the doctors recommendations as best as possible without losing my mind and after 5 months of using this I can honestly say it helps and I am scared to stop using it. Good luck to you all!

So much so that I had an ongoing period for 4 months that rendered me have 2 d and c's to no avail and multiple blood transfusions. With my hemoglobin dropping below 5. I was very ill and i believe it all started once I began taking birth control pills... loaded with estrogen... Post surgery the bleeding stopped but my cycle wouldn't Start now... hormone imbalance again...I bought this oil and started using it...immediately the muscles where I had the surgery felt more relaxed...I felt more calm...the depression began to lift.. .and within a couple weeks my period started and it was normal! I'm 29 y.o and will never b e without this...its a life saver

Excellent Product

I've tried several versions of progesterone cream. There are a couple that are a bit cheaper, but honestly none can hold a candle to this one. I am certain I get more if it into my system than the others provide, using an equal dosage. Also my skin begins to react/rash about the creams after a few months, I've been using this for a year and my skin hasn't reacted at all. I wish it were a little cheaper but I order it two bottles at a time and don't plan to change.

Guys Have Progesterone Too…

First off, I'm a guy using this stuff. I decided to try this particular product because it wasn't paired with estrogen and overall am very happy with the results some which were expected and some that were not. What I've found, at least for me, to have NOT been affected by progesterone are as follows: I've not noticed thicker hair - either in density or actually thicker individual hairs, and I've not had any increased libido or what I will call a "viagra effect" from the nitric oxide boost. Not that I was looking for either mind you, just aware that it was mentioned in some of the research on the subject. What progesterone did do for me, and what I got it for in the first place, is that it reset my adrenals. For many years I've had insomnia to the point of having to stay awake until I was so fatigued that I finally drifted off. Trying before that point would only lead to a racing mind and a second wind. Put simply, progesterone for me has been the best sleep aid and mood enhancing/stress reducing product I've ever tried above and beyond any modern prescription with none of the side effects.

I Am A Certified Social Researcher And Doctoral Candidate

I just wanted to share my experience as it might help another woman suffering. I am NOT a medical doctor or medical healthcare expert. I am however, a certified social researcher and Doctoral Candidate and therefore understand formal research processes and validity. My doctor could not figure out what was wrong with me so I used my research skills to help myself. A year ago, I started burning and stinging. The stinging was so bad, I'd cry. It was in my arms, legs and face. My doctor just put me on Neurotin. I finally did figure it out and resolve the problem.

I suffer from estrogen dominance. I noticed that when I took my thyroid medicine, (which interacts with estrogen), it got worse. When I ate anything high in estrogen for the burning, the burning went away but the stinging got much much worse. Then I discovered that the supplement GABA stopped the stinging. GABA also interacts with estrogen.

Now I did a lot of research. I discovered that bioidentical or natural progesterone cream would help the burning so I started taking it. What a huge help! Then I found formal medical research articles and commentary written by women hormonal doctor specialists that talked about treating estrogen dominance in perimenopausal and menopausal women. They claimed that giving more estrogen, irrespective of the type, was the wrong treatment. They also said that some sources causing estrogen dominance were found in our foods (soy, seeds, nuts), hormones added to meat and then leaking into dairy, and some pesticides. My doctor figured out that the E-cigarette was adding to my problem. Don't use those or smoke. I quit that the hour when he told me. University Hospitals Neurology Dept in Cleveland, Ohio shared that information with him.

I discovered SOY in many of my vitamins! I LOVE seeds and nuts. I had to eliminate, nuts, seeds, soy and chocolate! I had to start washing my fresh foods better and buy some organics where I could afford it. I also found huge help and relief from detoxifying baths. I take one once a week. The symptoms are gone now. It took a month though for the baths to start to help. I use detox baths that help remove chemicals from the body.

I treat myself like this: I take bio-identical progesterone cream... I had to make sure there were no estrogens in the creams. I eliminated all vitamins with soy in them and bought better sources; I take a large amount of D3 (I have Lupus which could have dramatically contributed towards my problem). I had to be sure I bought D3 without soy. I take B complex, Potassium, Armour Thyroid and Biotin. I added DIM which inhibits that bad estrogen I'm too high in. Very important too is that weekly detoxifying bath. If my symptoms get out of hand because I ate something I should not have, I take 750mg of GABA. Since my self-treatment, I've only need the Neurotin once. I hated the Neurotin because it makes me dizzy and tired.

I recommend any woman suffering from this awful stinging and is NOT diabetic look into estrogen dominance. Review what you are eating. I am shocked at how much estrogen is in our foods and vitamins. Ask your doctor to measure all your estrogens, progesterone, and testosterone. My doctor did not figure it out because he only ran the luteinizing and follicle stimulating hormones. One was way too high and the other was way too low.

The Fat Around My Stomach Area Keeps Decreasing

Thank you for all the great information and getting back to me so quickly. I have been taking the progestelle for almost a month. I went and threw away all of the body wash, shampoos, conditioners and lotions I was using. I had been taking Maca root for about 6 months and seemed to be doing fine with it until I started using African Black Soap. I didn't put two and two together that same month I started having the extremely sore breasts (that I hadn't had since taking maca root). After receiving my progestelle, I began using it plus threw everything away. I have to say - I love my morning coffee. I have never been one to excessively drink it - I only have a small cup in the morning then the rest of the day - I drink water and no other caffeine products.

I can really tell a difference in the way I feel. I can see that the fat around my stomach area keeps decreasing - I can tell in my clothes as well. I noticed on the products list that you suggest using - soap nuts was on there for laundry detergent. I would just like to tell you - you can also suggest using them to make your own shampoo/body wash. The soap nuts are amazing and would be great for anyone trying to use things without estrogen mimickers. They have so many uses not just for laundry. They can be used in the dishwasher as well. Plus I don't even need to find a safe conditioner for my hair because it conditions your hair better than any conditioner does.
Thank you so much - I will keep in touch and let you know of more progress.

I Experienced A Perfect 28 Day Cycle

Hi Dr. Eckhart,
Hope you had or are having a great Easter Holiday! I wanted to write to you to tell you that you have really impacted my life in such a positive way. Well, for one, using your proven method of omitting all of the xeno-estrogens from my environment and personal use as well as using the progestelle and iodine boosted my fertility health. Since I can remember, I have never had a "normal" 28 day cycle. For the first time in over 20 years, I experienced a perfect 28 day cycle, had mid-cycle ovulatory pains and rich cervical mucus. I knew instantly that I was fertile and my days of luteal phase defect and anovulatory cycles were over. I even researched if something was wrong when I experienced light spotting during my mid cycle and read from several health and medical sources that this was due to healthy ovulation from the healthy egg that was ripe with nutrition bursting through the follicle. I couldn't have been more happy! Depending on what medical research you read, only 20-30% of women are blessed enough to show this great sign of fertility, and this usually occurs in younger women. I am in my 40's!

However, I did add something to my regimen. I detoxed my liver to enhance my body's ability to eliminate excess estrogens from my body using milk thistle, greater celandine, and organic dandelion root extract (my husband makes this himself and it is proven through studies to help heal the body from estrogen dominance). I concentrated on thyroid health since I learned during my research that possible hypothyroidism is most likely linked to infertility and hormonal imbalance. So I ate a diet that concentrated on healing my thyroid and boosted fertility. I added maca root, and sea kelp to my foods and to the "thyroid health" boosting smoothies as well. I started a supplement program through Fairhaven Health and I know that everything I've learned on my journey thus far is a result of my healthy progress. however, I think the biggest part was due in part of the knowledge you impart to women with eliminating all estrogens from their environment that gave the biggest push.

I started making non-hormonal disrupting hormonal products that I now share with friends and family using non estrogenic substances from any natural or non- natural occurring estrogenic source. Weight fell off. In fact, a "pouch" I had had for years is gratefully withering away from my lower abdomen.
So thank you! I KNOW that a child is in my future now and confidently so!

Be blessed,

I Give Progestelle 5/5 Stars

Sorry for my late reply but I’ve been maxed out with the new baby these past few months. I wanted to let you know we had a healthy 9 lb 2 oz baby boy, almost 24 inches long, with no complications who is doing great, and in the 95th percentile for head size as well! Thanks perhaps in large part to you.

I took Progesterone cream and later Progestelle for a few years to control PMS symptoms before used Progestelle in pregnancy. I switched to Progestelle as my brand of choice to avoid the estrogenic and herbal additives in the creams. I found your pamphlet on estrogen dominance syndrome very persuasive. While on Progestelle and Fibrovan prior to pregnancy, an apricot sized fibroid I had shrank to 1.7cm in diameter, verified by ultrasound.

I got pregnant for the first time right after my 37th birthday after 8 cycles of “trying” (FSH was 9). At 11.5 weeks I went to the ER with bleeding and got diagnosed with an SCH (Subchorionic Hematoma or subchorionic hemorrhage). We followed your advice to raise the dose of Progestelle and remain on the Progestelle until after delivery. And also to avoid oral progesterone because of the risk of allergic reactions. Taking this advice was not easy. When the weather got cold, it became harder and harder to find exposed skin areas to put the progesterone on, that would not rub off with clothing. Making sure to get a consistent dose was practically impossible, and toward the end, getting a good night’s sleep suffered because I had to sleep in contorted positions to avoid rubbing off the Progestelle. I wish you offered some kind of skin patch to help with application… but designing it would be hard and I don’t have any ideas! It would also be helpful to know how long we have to wait for the dose to absorb, how long we have to stay out of the sunlight, etc. to avoid killing the dose.

But the proof is in the pudding. The 20-week Level 2 ultrasound with the perinatologist showed no SCH remaining and a baby, placenta and cord with not only normal, but ideal measurements. Our baby was born on his due date and was extremely healthy, vigorous and loud. He was the biggest, pinkest one in the nursery. At 4 months he had already doubled his birth weight and was ahead on all the developmental charts and around 95th percentile for head measurement.

Throughout the pregnancy we received grossly ignorant and life-threatening advice from MD’s and midwives about progesterone. One M.D. (Ob/Gyn) and his midwife in Hudson, WI, told us to stop the Progestelle “cold turkey” at 12 weeks after the SCH. This would have caused a miscarriage within a couple of days. After he was born there was a twenty-something nurse fresh out of school who got in her little head that he needed a diabetes test, and wanted me to drink some sugar syrup. She was furious that we refused. (I had taken chromium throughout pregnancy on Dr. Eckhart’s advice and did not have diabetes). His pediatrician said the nurse didn’t know anything, and he was the least diabetic kid there, based on his 24-hour blood test results. You have to be a savvy consumer of healthcare and watch your back at hospitals. Because my Dad was a career Ob/Gyn who had delivered thousands of babies, my mom was a Practical Nurse R.N. who assisted at his clinic, and I had read a bookshelf full of material like _Thinking Woman’s Guide to Birth_ by Henci Goer, I was able to avoid getting screwed by the establishment and winding up with a dead or damaged baby. But I was nothing short of a subject-matter expert by that time. I had the I.Q. points necessary to say, “NO” to almost everything they were pushing.

I would encourage the rational consumer to use Progestelle and take Dr. Eckhart’s material seriously! I would also recommend women do their reading to prepare for childbirth, such as Grantley Dick-Read, Henci Goer, John R. Lee’s progesterone books, Ina May Gaskins, and whatever else they can get their hands on to defend themselves and their infants against ignorant fools and power-lusters within the medical establishment who are giving our terribly dangerous advice to parents, and taking advantage of exhausted women who have just given birth, and who cannot give informed consent because of what they have just been through. I would also advise women to make sure your husband is on your side, because if he isn’t, he will fall for some of their disinformation. tummytime.jpg
