Hi all ,
was wondering if anyone experienced low back pain and leg cramps even vaginal area spasm pain while using natural progesterone ..i had a hyster 2 years ago leaving one tiny ovary...i am 44 years old
most of my blood work for estradiol shows post meno ..one taken a few months ago showed a normal level ..the last few have shown low( 17 and 20) ..i am on 0.0375 vivelle which improved my pain , until i added progesterone ...my gyn wanted me to use it once every 2-3 months cause i had endo......
i already had some pain before i began any ert maybe from being low on estrogen , the patch seemed to improve that quickly its been several months ...i added the cream 2 weeks ago and within 2 days began to have low back pain\spasm ..cramping legs , terrible bloating
period type pain , vaginal and rectal spasm and itching like formication ...also very tired ...
i used it 2 weeks and had stopped 3 days ago ..today i feel less pain but had a mega headache ...have had no breast pain or anything .......occasionaly my tiny ovary may spwn ...but it didnt feel like this ..i had no breast pain , usually a sign of ovulation for me ....i am using a compounded 50 mg per milliliter ...i used half of the dosage just in case ... i may try again in a month ...but never really felt good using a progesterone cream when i was younger
anyone relate to the symptoms ...i always had body pain during PMS ...
i also have joint hypermobility( double jointed) lol ...i have been reading Dr Vliets books and she states progesterone can contribute to joint laxity in the pelvic area , like in pregnancy ...i have a feeling this is casuing my problem ....
thank you
