Low Progesterone and Infertility.

Infertility is on a sharp increase and fertility clinics have become a booming business but a common cause of infertility - estrogen dominance/low progesterone levels in the body - is correctable with a progesterone cream supplement program.

BIG DRUG COMPANIES USING THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION IN AN ATTEMPT TO DESTROY COMPETITION FROM NATURAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPIES!!! Do you remember our newsletter last year detailing how Wyeth Pharmaceuticals was attempting to stop compounding pharmacists from prescribing natural progesterone (diosgenin) after their profits fell by more than 57%  from $2.07 billion in 2003 to $800 million in 2004 (after the WHI study had to be stopped)? Well, now they have gone after centers like ours making complaints to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).  The FTC's position backed by the big pharmaceutical companies is that Dr. John Lee, M.D.'s studies were not scientific and did not rise to the standard of FDA and National Institutes of Health studies, and that our claims about natural progesterone are false, unfair, deceptive, misleading advertising in violation of the law..  (Please read what Dr. Helen Pensanti M.D. has to say about this. Read on to how the study was conducted.)   This is an attempt to force women into taking unsafe proven cancer causing synthetic hormones using your tax dollar to harass natural hormone suppliers. We here at the Women's Menopause Health Center refuse to take away your choice of a healthy alternative to Premarin, Prempro and the other dangerous drugs. We are taking a stand against this heavy handed attempt to destroy competition. We are going to fight for your choice of a healthy way to get through menopause comfortably and safely. (Ed. note: This was from our newsletter last year. The continued harassment by the FTC has caused us to discontinue our wonderful product. DO NOT be forced into taking something that can kill you.

Maintaining a normal progesterone level is crucial to pregnancy. Progesterone prepares the uterine wall for implantation of the fertilized egg. If progesterone levels drop low enough, implantation will not occur or miscarriage will result.

Dr. John R. Lee addresses low progesterone and infertility in "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause." Dr. Lee, the international authority on natural progesterone, advocates the use of natural progesterone for women seeking pregnancy, though he admits that mainstream physicians rarely take this natural corrective action to infertility.

Dr. Lee states on pages 258 to 260; "The use of natural progesterone can give women the power to enhance their fertility without a lot of expensive office visits and prescription hormones. It also flies in the face of mainstream medicine's approach to fertility, which does not trouble me since their success rate in achieving conception tends to be depressingly low. It's no wonder - they are prescribing the wrong hormones! Synthetic estrogens and progestins generally cause more problems than they solve."

Dr. Lee goes on to say; "I believe that estrogen dominance from progesterone deficiency has caused a near epidemic of infertility among women in their mid-thirties...If you are having difficulty conceiving, you may be able to use progesterone to your advantage."

In his practice, Dr. Lee treated a number of patients experiencing infertility. Dr. Lee put these women on a natural progesterone regime for two to four months. His patients, some of whom had been trying to conceive for years, had very good luck conceiving with this method.

This is the regime Dr. Lee outlines for infertility;

For two to four months, use natural progesterone from days 5 to 26 in the cycle. Using progesterone cream prior to ovulation suppresses ovulation. Giving the body a vacation from ovulation produces stronger follicles because of the suppression, improving the chances of successful maturation and release of an egg. "If you still have follicles left, they seem to respond to a few months suppression with enthusiasm, and the successful maturation and release of an egg," Dr. Lee states.

After two to four months, you will begin using progesterone cream, this time starting after ovulation during the monthly cycle. This way, the progesterone will not interfere with ovulation. There are a number of ovulation kits on the market that help you track your ovulation. You can also track your ovulation by taking your temperature each morning before you get out of bed. When you ovulate, the release of progesterone will cause a slight rise in body temperature. Once ovulation occurs, you can safely continue using the progesterone cream. This method is free but can be less accurate than using an ovulation kit.

Continue this program until conception. Once pregnant, DO NOT discontinue the use of progesterone. A sudden drop in progesterone levels signal the body to shed the uterine lining. This could cause a spontaneous miscarriage.

Continue using progesterone cream through the first trimester to protect the developing fetus from early miscarriage. The placenta becomes the major producer of progesterone in the second trimester so you can GRADUALLY taper your progesterone supplementation during this time. By the third trimester, the placenta's production of progesterone is in full gear and supplementation is not necessary, though it is shown to prevents the uterus from contracting throughout most of the pregnancy, thus reducing the chance of premature delivery.

Natural progesterone cream is safe to use from conception to delivery and beyond. Preserve natural USP progesterone Natural progesterone also relieves postpartum depression after childbirth.
