Cream or troche
by: Wray

Hi there I'm not in favour of taking progesterone orally, as 90% is destroyed as it passes through the gut and liver. So if you swallowed your troche, the 20mg/day would translate into 2mg/day.

The body is not designed to absorb hormones via the digestive track, after all they are made endogenously. The best methods of absorption are via intra-muscular injections (painful!), transdermal creams, via the buccal cavity and vaginal or rectal pessaries/suppositories.

If though you treat the troche as it should be used and hold it in your mouth until it has dissolved, you would then absorb the progesterone affectively, but it's so bitter, I wish you luck!

Finally the dose you've been given is to my mind far too low. All the successful studies done using progesterone have used between 100-200mg/day, some going as high as 400-600mg/day. Hope this helps. Take care Wray
