Progesterone!



You see, even the title of this post is a nice example of why I needed my own blog...just for my "girlies" (as Lexi would say when she frequently tells me, "We're my Daddy's "girlies", right mommy?" LOVE IT!). So THIS depleted hormone (for me anyway) is supposed to be the reason my "cycles" are too short to get preggo. And so I have begun the journey into bioidentical progesterone pills to fix what feels like a significant problem and hopefully help conception to occur. I'll keep you all posted on what the little pill does for me. So far? I've been peeing like a race horse for 10 days! It's a amazing how much water I've had on my body these past several months. Maybe this is exactly what I've needed. Is this a symptom of old age my friends?

I found the following on a website about the "stuff"... While I'm on day 9 of "the stuff" I'm hardly able to speak with authority on the subject. So at some point I'll post an update on how this is going for me.

In addition, progesterone also aids in:

  • Serving as a natural anti-depressant
  • Fostering a calming effect on the body
  • Acting as a natural diuretic thereby preventing water retention or bloating
  • Normalizing blood sugar levels
  • Maintaining libido
  • Promoting regular sleep patterns
  • Restoring proper cell oxygen levels, thereby improving mental acuity and memory
