When my first daughter was born at the age of 22 I slowly sank into cycle swings creating deep sadness to anger and unhappiness. I went to the Doctor and said. I felt great a year ago when I was pregnant but now I am feeling terrible. He had no real answers for me. For years I endured and did not find relief from the cycles unless I was pregnant. I knew it was related to my hormones. I had PMS and that was my life. I began a natural progesterone cream and it seemed to help a little. Many years passed and I found a wonderful PA who helped me with hormone replacement. It has made my life so much better. I have transitioned through menopause with very few symptoms. I believe it has allowed me to stay healthier and feel better over the last 15 years. It is a valuable resource for many people.
