Hi everyone.
I just needed some thoughts or ideas so I decided to post here.
First of all this website has so much information and I am grateful for that.
I started applying a progesterone cream on thin skin areas since Feb 2025 such as behind knees, top of my feet, inner arms, top of my chest. I hadn't had a period for nearly 12 months (I started using it as I'm very estrogen dominant).
Then I saw on the website that we can use it anywhere pretty much as it will get absorbed.
I started using it on my thighs, calves, inner arms etc and it feels like some of my symptoms came back. Initially I said to give it time cause it might be recalibrating. Then I just got my period.
The reason I stopped using thin skin areas is that my joints were becoming way to loose in sensation since I also suffer with hypermobility in my joints.
It's been 7 days of bleeding and then spotting so I am not sure if I should up the dose or wait it out.
I am worried of applying it back to thin skin areas as it caused me issues.
Has this happened to any of you?
