Seizures

I welcome information on progesterone therapy. In my case, low progesterone levels and / or anovulatory cycles may be what is triggering my seizures. I just had one yesterday morning and yesterday was the 15th day of my cycle. I am not sure if I ovulated or not. I typically have about 3 seizures a year but yesterday's seizure was #5 this year.

When is the best day during my cycle to test for progesterone levels?

Low progesterone does have a bearing on seizures, particularly if they follow the monthly cycle. It would be best to use it under the guidance of a practitioner versed in progesterone therapy, as initially excess oestrogen might exacerbate them. Please see these web pages...

 Natural Progesterone can be used by body to make other chemicals
by: Anonymous

A book I read said that yam-based natural progesterone has a different chemical structure than synthetic drug progestin, and can be used by the body to make estrogen and other chemicals needed, just as one's body can use the body's progesterone to make these chemicals. Chloresterol is used with progesterone to make, if I remember correctly, acetycholine. Because the body cannot use synthetic progestine to create other chemicals.

I, too, experienced something once a month that I guessed was hormone-related.
