Are there any side effects from using natural progesterone or natural estrogen?
Any side effects from natural progesterone are associated with dosage, and can be easily alleviated by changing the amount and frequency of the dosage. In the PMS age group, using too much natural progesterone may delay the period a day or two. This effect may occur as early as the first month or as late as four months of use. Discontinuing the natural progesterone will cause the period to start, and then natural progesterone can be resumed after 7 days, but use a lower dose, please. Women using birth control pills or nursing women should not use natural progesterone for PMS symptoms. Menopausal women might notice some spotting when they begin using natural progesterone. This should be alleviated with continual use and is nothing to fear. If it persists, consult your physician.
