What brand do you use and what dose?


I get it from a compounding pharmacy so there's no brand. I take 100 mg in cream form a night.

What form are PP’s getting their progesterone in? Are you all post menopausal?

14:28 here. Agreed. I get it from a compounding pharmacy. I don't get the "bioidentical" label. Seems unnecessary.

There’s a good rundown of what “bioidentical” is about in this podcast episode with Jen Gunter:

Same for progesterone. It costs $66 for two month supply. OB/GYN prescribes them.

If so, where do you go to get them and how much do you pay per month?
