I have nite sweats and they happen during the day too, so are they day sweats? I went to the local naturalist store today and talked to the lady who owns it, she's pushing 50 and said she has lots of female customers looking for help. Since I was already taking black cohosh (just started 2 days ago) she said progesterone cream is the thing to try so I bought some. I have applied it to the inside of my elbow just once and I have gone thru the afternoon with no power surges, even when waking up from a nap, that's a time one would hit me. So maybe this stuff will really work and stop the surges. Fingers crossed.

I'd like to hear other's experiences with progesterone cream.

Thanks

There are lots of women's experiences on the Progesterone, All Forms board already, so there's no waiting

Welcome to Power Surge!

ROFLMAO!!! Oh Funky, I thought I was the only one to think that!!

I just started having the hot flashes last November, and wondered the same thing at first..."am I having day sweats?" It honestly depressed me when I actually found out they were labeled hot flashes...but now I consider them power surges. I've even sung their praises as a formerly cold-natured person.

I haven't tried the progesterone cream lately so can't offer any input...but I hope you have success with it. I know they are a real pain when they get bad and seem to last forever.

What did help me with night sweats was an herbal blend by Michael's -- had black cohash and red clover and wild yam and vitamins and other stuff. I'm anxious to hear how the cream works for you. Good luck!
