Dosage Question

Hi Wray! I have a question, but this is the only place I can find to submit it! I am wanting to use 100-200 mg/day per your suggestion in the early stages of pregnancy. I just bought the new airless pump, which you say pumps 1.5 mL per pump. How does that convert to milligrams? Just trying to make sure I get the right amount based on number of pumps. Thanks!

 Dosage Question

Hi April

Any conversion website will help you, but if you read the How to use Progesterone Cream page, you will find a detailed conversion chart explaining this. One full pump of Natpro is 1.5ml or 50mg.

 Efficacy and Progesterone Cream Strength
by: Anonymous

Hi. I have a question regarding strengths of creams. Recently, I added a 20% progesterone cream to my Natpro regimen. Ona’s is the brand and I thought this might be a good alt to running through product too quickly. I also upped my dose from 350 to
450mgs at the exact same time I started the Ona’s 20%. I was feeling pretty good before but still had some lingering ED symptoms I wanted to knock out. Immediately, night sweats came back which were gone for me along with several other miserable ED symptoms. I was surprised b/c I was already on a relatively high dose. I didn’t think I would experience this aggravation. I poured through this forum looking for something related and I came across an older thread where Wray spoke of doing an occasional "top up" (assume this meant taking more than her usual dose) and experiencing temporary ED symptoms. I don’t know what her daily dose was but I was under the impression that if one is stabilized on a dose then upping the dose would not make symptoms temporarily worse. Am I wrong on this? Would love your thoughts.

I also wondered if the Onas was truly a 200 mg dose. I did speak to someone over there and she told me that some women do not absorb the higher concentrations well. She actually said that 400 mg of a 3% cream is not necessarily the same as 400 mg of a 20% cream. I had no idea. She suggested adding an oil to the cream to possibly improve absorption. Have you ever heard of this? It is true that I don’t feel the Onas 20% is working like Natpro. My goal is to stay on a higher dose until I knock these symptoms. I don’t really like mixing brands but trying to find the best way to supplement. Thank you.
