Hi wishin, take a look at this article:

http://www.breastnexus.com/showthread.php?tid=5203&highlight=tolerance

it describes herbal tolerance and how long you should take things without becoming resistant from it. It also says if you'll become really resistant that you have to wait for 5-7 years before its effective again. So if ýou'll go by that, i would at least stop pc for now to guartantee its efficiency in the future. I remember Charlie Girl saying something about it too something like that her sports trainer said take your pills irregular otherwise you get habituation and body stops reacting.

I read that low dose progesterone can increase estro receptor sensitivity and may explain a recurrence in estrogen dominance symptoms that can get worse with a buildup of estrogens and xenoestrogens if the body can't flush them out effectively, which may call for a round of DIM at the start of the cycle and maybe a liver cleanse.

I'm not sure progesterone, even the USP variety in the cream, is like herbs where a tolerance can build up, it's a hormone our bodies produce regularly.

Vitamin B6, Vitamin C and magnesium might help increase natural progesterone though and simplypurly may be on the right track with vitex.

Thank you both for the information! I was going to state that I'm on a prescribed progesterone pill + some cream. Both bioequivalents. So I'm not sure about the herbal intolerance issue in this case. I do see my doctor next week so I'll have to ask her about all of the above information.

I tried not taking any progesterone this month and simply couldn't make it (symptoms were awful, I'm talking soaking through the sheets at night from sweating). So I used the pills and not the cream and they are there but much slighter. I'm going to ask to get my hormones tested again and go from there.
