After a year of severe dehydration, dry eye, and three medical providers either not taking my symptoms seriously or not believing it could be hormonal, I was finally tested for hormone levels. At 41 years old, it was determined I have low progesterone. Using a compounded cream, I have been able to dial in to a dosage that works for me. It took a lot of dosing adjustments to find what works for me. My OBGYN is very supportive of this type of treatment because it allows me to come much closer to what I need than other treatments that are currently FDA approved. This has allowed me to continue my office job, and provide for my family, as I am the primary wage earner. Prior to this treatment, my eyes were so bad, it was questionable how I would continue to work outside the home.
