Well started out with the lowest dose of progesterone to combat really dreadful hotflashes.

So far after three days, there seems to be a positive effect. According to some of the literature - this drug might be able to reduce the "flashes" by up to 80%! Managed to get two decent nights sleep - and woke up feeling alert. The first time in a few months!

The doc said it would take about 3 months for the full effect to take place. Currently, if I were to guess, it's cut them back by about 50%. Hopefully there will be progression on that figure over time.

I am er neg.
