I haven't finished my cycle yet and haven't made any real gains.. a little swollen now but it's the week before my period.
Just wanted to note that I realize I've been applying progesterone cream wrong. I've often heard waihaka quoted as saying "progesterone stops NBE dead in its tracks" and I've always thought, "wtf? but don't you need both estrogen and progesterone for NBE?"
So I've been applying it directly to my breasts, very sparingly, maybe 1/4 to 1/2 recommended dosage 1-2x per week. But then I found in an old, old thread where waihaka explained it a little further..
Basically if you need progesterone, like you're getting too much estrogen (probably mostly for the people on PM), and you choose to use PC, you should be applying to the thin layers of your skin, NOT fatty places like your breasts. This is not because your receptors in your boobs get used up (which is what I thought.. and I thought I wasn't in danger of this because of how little I applied it)! It's because you want the progesterone go into your BLOODSTREAM, not your FAT, where I guess it would just hang out and block estrogen from doing its thing. It's OK to apply to your boobs if you have hardness or cysts, and it did work for me to get rid of that.
I can't find the thread anymore.. I found it while looking for info on Maca.
If anyone can clarify further, or I'm totally wrong about this, PLEASE let me know..
