[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 155077, member: 18023"] I am using source natural progesterone cream, 22mg per 1.3 grams 1/4 teaspoon. I am using even less than 1/4 teaspoon, maybe .2 of a teaspoon. Just rub some on my shoulder. Literately a little less than a "tad" which is the name of a spoon I have. A tad isn't any sort of exact measurement. My progesterone level measured 0.5 but I only took the blood test after using the cream so I don't what my level was before. If I use too much, then I can get dizzy during the day, it's kind of an odd experience, a little like drinking too much or being high. Especially when I sit for a while then get up. I assume it was the progesterone, as afterwards I read that is a typical symptom. progesterone can change stress response, cortisol at baseline, sleep, blood pressure, ,GABA receptors, but I am not sure all of what it affects and how it works. Nearly always when my blood pressure is measured at a doctors office, it will be higher, like 130/82. but this time on two difference visits it measured 117/75, which never happened before. I don't take it every day, as I am just experimenting with how much, too much also seems to leave me more lazy. I am mainly interested in better sleep. Not sure how long before sleep to apply it, not sure how long it lasts, like half life. Lower blood pressure is nice, but mine was not very high even without it. [/QUOTE]
