Progesterone Cream & Pregnancy
There are many recommendations out there
on the usage of progesterone cream during pregnancy, from “Use it for only the
first seven weeks” to “Use it all the way until the 38th week.”
What is the correct recommendations? This answer is probably as individual
as each person reading this, and largely depends on whether or not the pregnant
mom has low progesterone.
A Few Facts
Physicians are discovering that the use of
progesterone, be in vaginal suppositories, oral pills or transdermal cream, may
help in preventing early miscarriage and preterm labor. There are many
physicians in the USA that are now administering progesterone shots to women at
risk for preterm labor. I believe that the consensus is for the
progesterone shots or oral progesterone simply because that is what the
“pharmaceutical” companies are promoting. Natural progesterone cream is
just as effective, in my opinion, as these prescription-based progesterone.
I even have customers who will purchase cream from me on their doctor’s
recommendations for stopping preterm labor. Though the vast majority of
traditional physician either doesn’t know about the benefits of progesterone
cream, or doesn’t truly believe in it, I’m finding that the tide is slowly
turning as more doctors are finding out the truths about this.
Why am I so passionate about progesterone
cream? I’m not a medical professional, but I am one who has great
experience with the cream, and great success. I have a retail business
where I sell one particular brand only, Happy PMS Cream. Before I settled
on that brand I researched the progesterone cream market for two years. I
wanted to find the best cream available, and wanted to try it out for myself.
My history is one of early miscarriage and
preterm labor and premature birth. Before I ever knew that progesterone
cream even existed I had given birth to my first two babies prematurely and
suffered two early miscarriages. It was this reason that spurred me on to
learn about human reproduction and in return discovering that progesterone cream
is extremely beneficial in preventing early miscarriages that are due to
hormonal imbalances.
When I became pregnant with my third baby,
I still hadn’t learned about the use of progesterone cream throughout
pregnancy. At that point, I was more interested in preventing an early
miscarriage. So I stopped the cream at seven weeks.
I went into preterm labor at 30 weeks and
continued fighting to keep my baby inside me for seven long weeks. I was
hospitalized for six nights, and give magnesium sulfate twice, and numerous
other drugs to stop the labor, as well as steroid shots to mature the baby’s
lungs. I finally gave birth to my third baby at 37 weeks.

Then, about a year later I discovered Happy
PMS Cream and talked in depth with the manufacturer. To make sure it was
as good as they claimed I decided to use the cream myself for a couple of months
before deciding on whether or not to offer it to my customers. My luteal
phase the previous months were around six to nine days. I had assumed that
pregnancy wasn’t even an issue at that point. But I did conceive that
first month I was the Happy PMS Cream.
Scared of a repeat of my third pregnancy, I
phoned the manufacturer who strongly suggested I stay on the cream until my 38th
week of pregnancy. I did, and my fourth pregnancy was my easiest one yet.
I not only escaped preterm labor, I went on to carry my baby two days past her
due date.
That is what made me a firm believer in the
power of progesterone cream, and why I have used it throughout pregnancies.
It’s why I believe that any pregnant woman at risk for preterm labor would
benefit from using the cream throughout pregnancy.
Some experts say that pregnant women
produce incredible amounts of progesterone and never need progesterone
supplementation. But I feel my own experience proves otherwise.
While I am sure that some women will produce enough on their own, other women
like me, can save their pregnancies simply by rubbing progesterone cream two or
three times a day onto their bodies until the 38th week of
pregnancy.
