Natural Progesterone Cream After testing several brands and reading up on several others, I found an excellent brand which strictly follows Dr. John Lee's recommendations, and comes in a measured-dose pump bottle. This is GREAT because the other brands come in tubes or jars and it is extremely difficult to get a standard dose in this manner. It is also priced more reasonably than many other brands. Dr. Lee recommends the transdermal cream rather than oral progesterone, because some 80% to 90% of the oral dose is lost through the liver. Thus, at least 200 to 400 mg daily is needed orally to achieve a physiologic dose of 15 to 24 mg daily. Such high doses create undesirable metabolites and unnecessarily overload the liver.

DIRECTIONS:
Because progesterone is very fat-soluble, it is easily absorbed
through the skin. From subcutaneous fat, progesterone is absorbed
into capillary blood. Thus, absorption is best at all the skin
sites where people blush: face, neck, chest, breasts, inner
arms and the palms of the hands. The usual dose when trying to
conceive is 15-24 mg./day starting after ovulation has been
confirmed, and stopping once it has been confirmed that
pregnancy has not been achieved. If pregnancy is achieved,
then progesterone use should be continued until at least 6 months,
at which time it can be phased out (it will not hurt to
continue right through the entire pregnancy).
