 progesterone after stopping the pill
by: Wray

Hi Jane No Contraceptive contains progesterone. They all have a synthetic version known as a progestin. As to how long the progestin remains, no one knows. Take care Wray

 Will Progesterone Help Me
by: Anonymous

I have been wondering if progesterone use after the BC Pill will help regulate my hormones I had rapid weight gain after coming off the pill 20 pounds in 2 weeks I only took the pill for ten weeks and it had been prescibed due to no period for 3 years but in that time I had cushings and required a bilateral adrenalectomy ...we knew I had low to no progesterone and low estrogen so on the pill I went but I stopped due to symptoms of very high estrogen ..after the pill I have hot flashes ..excessive sweating with minimal exercise-insomnia to name a few
Do you think progesterone will help I live far from a dr and due to the last episode I really will not go back to her any suggestions ...I have had 3 period but not sure if I ovulate but I do have a short luteal phase based on the cervical mucos thanks

Hi there All drug based Contraceptives have the potential to harm, and upset the cycle. Do you know what hormones were in the contraceptive pill you took, as medroxyprogesterone acetate can cause Cushing's, see here. Why you were given the pill to increase your progesterone defeats me, it does not contain it, no contraceptive does. They all contain a progestin, one of which is medroxyprogesterone acetate. Yes I do believe progesterone could help you, I recommend 100-200mg/day or more if symptoms are severe. As you have low progesterone, and have a short luteal phase too, I suggest you use the progesterone daily for 2-3 months, through your period too. This will ensure progesterone becomes the dominant hormone. You might find you need more than my suggested amount, as you have hot flushes etc. These could become worse if you use too little. There's more info on our Oestrogen Dominance page. When you feel stable enough, you can begin to follow your cycle, there's info on how to do this on our page How to use progesterone cream. Take care Wray
