Hi
I've have recently had my hormone results back and I have low progesterone.
Peggy kindly advised I could take Agnus Castus. However, I have looked into this and due to my thyroid, and taking medication for this I cannot take this. (I have also read it can shrink your boobs, and make your periods go way off if they are regular before you start AC, which mine are).
Peggy also suggested Maca, however I do not want to take this as it can make your butt grow, and I definitely don't want that.
I am in the UK and from what I've been reading you cannot get progesterone cream without a prescription from your doctor, and you are very lucky if you can get your doctor to prescribe it for you, as it is not something that they will do freely. Though, saying that, I have found some UK websites selling progesterone items, but I'm not sure if it's the right thing, and whether they are reputable as it's suppose to be prescription only.
Therefore, I have done some research and found that if you take Vitamin C at 750mg for 6 months you can considerably increase your progesterone production. (But this is a long time to wait).
I've also read that B6, Zinc, Magnesium can increase progesterone, but I cannot find how much to take, or how long it takes to increase the progesterone levels.
I feel like I am stuck now, and cannot move forward. I am wanting to give Natureday a try, but because I'm struggling to increase my progesterone I don't know what to do. I don't know whether to give it a go and see if it works while my progesterone is low. I just don't know what to do, there must be something, and would appreciate any input. Thank you
