Hi djt
I cant say whether I have/had low progesterone or not as my periods were always very stable so I had no reason to get my hormones checked. That said I have always had pretty heavy periods but when I started herbs/natureday and greenbush (at separate times) everything was exaggerated hormone wise, moods/pms etc only to level back down when I got off the herbs.
When I took natureday the first time I went up nearly a cup size in the first few weeks and I panicked and stopped because I also had very bad pms having started it. So I lost some of that (you cant expect permanent growth in such a short space of time right just swelling) - ND say to stick at it for a good few months plus they say to compliment their programme with good protein and stimulation.
With the Amazon reviews they always had the chance to go back and add comments to their original reviews and you rarely saw someone come back and say "hey they deflated once I stopped" .
But all you can do is try right. Id contact them first though and explain you have low P and see what they advise.
Theres no harm in taking the supplements (vit c/mag/zinc etc) to boost P, they are required vitamens anyway for good health. But if you are taking prescribed medication for thyroid you should definitely run this past your doctor or naturopathic physician to check for interactions with herbs.
