Hi Sally,
I believe that I must have oestrogen dominance. I know that my beautiful twin sister had it when she got breast cancer (after already being diagnosed with endemitriosis) when we were only 26, unfortunately it ravaged her body and she passed away at 29yrs. I am now 43 and have had a great share of stress and grief in my life as well as severe depression, panic disorder etc etc,(I had two children in my early 30's) I then developed Hashimoto's thyroiditis (with endless debilitating symptoms that no doctors could help with) and also severe gluten intolerance. Whilst I didn't 'test' for celiac's disease I completely eliminated gluten from my diet with astonishing results. The remaining symptoms that I can't shake are unrelenting fatigue and terrible memory and concentration. My periods have become so heavy and unmanageable over the last 18 months that I ordered myself a pelvic ultrasound and I apparently have adrenomyosis which apparently explains the severe bleeding, the pain and horrible blood clots. They want to recommend I try a merina iud, but I desperately don't want any man made implements in my body full of chemicals etc. I cannot find a doctor that understands how all my symptoms go together(thyroid, heavy bleeding, fatigue, irritability, pmt) etc etc. I have basically become my own doctor through years of research and understanding my own body. I have of course tried every specialist and endless natural therapies with varied successes. I currently take thyroxine 125mcg daily but things are absolutely not right with me.
My biggest question is this: is there any danger possible in taking too much progesterone? How much would you recommend for me? My periods are regular but when I actually ovulate seems to change quite a bit.
thankyou so much for reading. I feel like I may have finally found answers to lots of my health issues - I just want to have energy and feel well!
Advice please?

Yes, I think you have at last found the answer you have been looking for. Your symptoms speak of horrific hormonal imbalance. The reasons for this imbalance vary, but by and large, they are due to both hormones (oestrogen and progesterone) going out of their very necessary balance. Oestrogen is now in abundance because of the xeno-oestorgens (see attached and click here). Progesterone is deficient because of anovulatory cycles starting now at a very early age (average 33yrs whereas it used to be 50), and if you do not ovulate, you produce NO progesterone; Because you are bleeding heavily does not mean you are still ovulating, you are probably not and therefore you are in desperate need of progesterone. The other important reason for deficient progesterone levels is the high stress we are all subjected to these days. Stress hormones come directly from the 'mother hormone' progesterone (Click here to see table) so every time we stress, we are draining our progesterone levels, and as you will see from the table, there are many other hormones that go into deficiency too because they too are derived only from progesterone ... eg the corticosteroid which are responsible for keep inflammatory conditions, allergies and auto-immune diseases at bay. This is not a drug, so do not expect immediate results, but gradually over the next 3 months, as your full hormonal balance comes in, you should feel better and better. Keep a diary so you can see the improvements. Initially you may even go through a detox (of the xeno-oestrogens) and this may make the symptoms of oestrogen dominance worse for a short while, so double the dose of progesterone to dump them quickly, for a week. (Click here for these symptoms)Good luck, and keep me informed. I also attach an order form if you so wish to use it (and average person's 3 months supply). The doses I recommend for you are ... bearing in mind that Day 1 is the first day of your period..... from day 5 use 1ml morning and night, then increase to 2 spoons am and pm from day 12 until your next period. Your cycle may go haywire initially, but each time just follow the that recommended regime. Slowly things should improve.These are the benefits of progesterone
