Natural Remedies for Low Progesterone and How To Tell if It's Low - Hormonal Balance #3
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 вер 2017
- Progesterone is one of the two most important reproductive hormones in a female body, so having low levels isn't good news at all. In this video, I explain the roles that progesterone plays in the body, what symptoms to look out for if you suspect low progesterone, how to test for it, and natural remedies that will increase progesterone gradually.

I didn't mention natural progesterone cream, which is a great way to deal with low progesterone as well. But it really needs a video of its own, so I'll definitely cover that topic in the future. 💖
VitaLivesFree I need your help with this, I'm 6 weeks pregnant and so scared of having a misscarriage because we had one last year. Please help. How can I use the cream while pregnant, I'm desperate
I started using progesterone cream 2 months ago (at night) and I'm finally sleeping through the night now. I went through horrible perimenopausal symptoms and am now menopausal (I was in my 40s, so kind of young). I am very thin, so I don't have much fat to continue to make estrogen either. I read What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause ( he also wrote another book with same name but about Pre-menopause). I'm also taking magnesium, B6, and Vitamin C to support my body to make progesterone. So far natural progesterone cream has been a major key in my recovery from adrenal fatigue & Hashimoto's ...along with the iron I just recently. Great info in your videos, thanks!
Yay, I'm soooo happy that you found what works for you!
Progesterone cream has also helped me gain weight-3 lbs so far! My situation has been so mind boggling because I don't seem to have the same issues as most women with Hashimoto's, I lost weight instead of gained weight with hypothyroidism. I have low estrogen now as opposed to estrogen dominance that seems to be a major problem for most women in menopause (due to not having very little body fat). Hopefully after 3 months of natural progesterone cream use I'll see the full effects of the cream and I may need to use a small physiological dose of natural estrogen cream also to get back my hormone balance. We shall see in a month-the progesterone cream may be enough to get my estrogen in balance as well!
Please do! Please include a comparison of prescription pills vs natural cream. Thank you!
Thank you so much. This is lifechanging information. Especially embracing your femininity. This is definitely the hardest part for me, I struggle so much with anything even remotely related - body image, role in society and family, natural aging - it's sooo complicated. But i'm on the right way now, at least.
This video is so wonderful, thank you so much for sharing
I actually used vitex after a year of trying to conceive, and 3 months later I conceived my daughter who's now 3 years old. I can vouch for it's effectiveness for sure! 😊
Wow, that's wonderful! Thank you for sharing!
That’s wonderful! Did you continue taking it during pregnancy?
@@AlongCameSandra no, I stopped taking it when I found out because there's little research on how safe it is during pregnancy. 😊
Izzy Cook-Fraser Thanks for replying ☺️
Thanks for your information,its amazing..
Somehow i found your channel and literally it is life saving for me..
I'm so glad!
Vita! You are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to health, and that is why I appreciate your work you put out there for us so much! 💕
And I appreciate your love and support!
Your voice is so soothing!
Thank you very much!
Ur video is an ocean of information. Thanks a lot
Thank you for watching!
Thank you, very enjoyable video.
Your videos are ssooooo AMAZING!!!
Thank you so much!
I absolutely love you. You are so beautiful and have brought me hope. I am 27 and struggling with many symptoms of peri or adrenal fatigue. I have gone to get levels checked with blood work and everything comes back normal so the doctor says it’s all in my head and prescribe me dangerous meds. I don’t take them. I believe the becoming more educated on the body I can heal myself and fining your videos has given me hope. I still have a long way to go but I am optimistic.
Thank you so much! I hope you'll find all the answers you're looking for and will find healing.
Molly Mcgee if you are in the states you may want to look for a functional medicine doctor. It costs a lot more but well worth it.
Thank you, this is so good
So very helpful Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
thank you. Your video answer so many questions
Thank you sooo much,very helpful!!!!
+katerina panagiotidou Thank you for watching! 💖
Excellent video..i have two girls and may have missed the mark with the oldest regarding the last portion of the video but I'm making sure I'm doing better by both with that info! Past pressures and generational banter can destroy your mindset about being a woman
Very true. Luckily, it's never too late to start working on a better mindset towards femininity. You're a great mum!
this video educated me so much !
i suffer all year from hormonal disbalance and tons of period and female area problems..went to tons of doctors and none of them even mentioned anything like progesterone or estrogen or anything like this to be a problem and i am so angry because i paid a lot and they didn't care !! i lost so much hair as well and all this things that happened to me in this year all at once were hell ..so i learn my lesson the hard way ..they didn't give me meds but injected me 5 times in the hip in every place i went so thanks to this video i see i can fix all by natural ways and in a healthy way ~ Thank you for the amazing video ! now i can finally be able to fix it all so i can have a baby !
Wishing you lots of healing, and lots of baby dust in the future!
Thank you for this informative video, can you do video about the causes of low progesterone?
Hey Vita😊, I would also mention yoga which helped me immensely with my period(cramps, duration). Yoga also helps with balancing your hormones and stress! Thank you for another great video! Have a wonderful day😊🌸
Oh yes, yoga is great, as well as meditation. Thank you for watching! Have a great day, too!
martina antunović Hello Martina :) wat asanas helped you ? Any YT links you can share ?
Hi there @VitaLivesFree, thanks for this helpful video!! I was wondering should I be taking supplements (ie. chaste berry/maca powder) only during the last have of my cycle when progesterone needs to be boosted? Or should I be taking them throughout my cycle to insure that my system is getting a steady supply?
Most practitioners say to take Vitex throughout the whole cycle except the first 5 days. And for Maca, I think it can be taken throughout the whole cycle as well, but you need to take regular breaks to keep it functioning well.
For years I have suffered from low progesterone. I have 0 days in my luteal phase and start spotting the day I ovulate and this has been going on for years. I am so happy to have come across your channel. Hoping I can find something that will help!
Wishing you lots of healing!
I have almost the same problem.I bleed from day 21. How are things now. Any news yet
Love your hair! 😃
+Amy B Thank you! 💖
Aciu Vita. you are briliant..keep your amazing work...
Thank you for your support!
limiting dairy and omega 6 rich foods also helps a lot,I agree about eating animal fat and not being afraid of it,especially during pms is very important to me
Why would you limit good organic dairy? Maybe in the States but not in certain European countries. Absolutely insane to say this. She stated cholesterol you need good cholesterol and thats in Dairy!! Cholesterol is around your brain by the way.
Oh and your hormones come from cholesterol 🤣
Omega 3 not 6.... 6 is not needed and is already in saturation in foods. You need Vit B6/B9 and B12 as well.
Just found your channel after searching for hours on natural remedies for heavy periods/dysmenorrhea. Thank you for giving me hope that there is something natural I can try. Definitely don’t want any synthetic hormone to add to the chaos.
Wishing you lots of healing! Another thing to look into is gentle heavy metal detox with TRS. I've been taking it for 9 months now and my periods have become effortless and completely normal. This is my latest update at 6 months (I don't remember if I talked about periods in this one, but wow, they have evened out so much): ua-cam.com/video/PyWA-LoCeK4/v-deo.html.
@@Vitalivesfree yes I saw those videos where you talked about TRS. Will definitely try when finances allow later this year. Thank you so much for all the information you share! God bless🙏
Hello Vita, since all of these issues you discuss in your videos seem to be related, I don't know where to begin. I recently stopped the pill. I am also reading Lara Briden's period book. Do you recommend getting hormones regulated first and then switch to NDT? Or do everything at once? Thank you so much for all of your videos and comment responses!
Like Dr Lara Briden says, it's worth fixing your thyroid first and then see if it fixes your hormones.It often does. If it doesn't, then you'll have to address those, too. Check out this article: www.larabriden.com/irregular-periods-think-about-thyroid/.
What do you think about continuing to take Vitex after getting a positive pregnancy test? Some people still take it, some don't. What are your thoughts?
I personally would continue for the first three months because I've experienced first hand how progesterone levels fall off if you stop vitex abruptly, and that could easily cause a disaster during early pregnancy. I would take it just to be on the safe side.
Very helpful. Thank you. Have a great day☀☀. Kiss😍😘😗
Have a great day, too!
Da a spus niste lucruri foarte esentiale.
Hi Vita. Thanks for all the help you provide women on this platform. It's much appreciated! Quick question for you, perhaps you can advise. On day 2 of my period, my progesterone level is 0.7 I've been unsuccessful in 4 years to get pregnant. Would progesterone cream help? Thank you x
Progesterone is supposed to be very low during your period, so that level doesn't really say anything. You need to test it 7 days after ovulation. I wouldn't try progesterone cream unless I knew for sure that my progesterone was low and all the other natural remedies have been exhausted. Lots of baby dust to you!
@@Vitalivesfree I didn't actually think you would respond, wow. Thank you. God bless you for the work you're doing on this channel. I'll make sure to get tested after ovulation. I just found out 2 days ago I have PCOS. The doctor who did the exam suggested Celine, a medicine that costs 48 euros where I live!? I guess it's suppose to treat the symptoms 🤔 Will look into natural ways to help myself with this condition. Thanks again, Vita. Xx
Hi, I love your videos! So, been trying to get my period back, its been 3 cycles that I missed it already, And I was super regular before that. It started after I started travelling abroad for 2 months, so I guess the change of diet and lifstyle caused me the hormonal imbalance, and I DO NOT want to got to a gynecologist and be prescribed with taking hormones ..so been thinking to take some of the stuff you recommend...my question is , if I can mix them, say I want to take maca , shatavari and vitex..can I take it together?..Thank you so much , you are an angel!
They could theoretically be mixed together, but I wouldn't start them all together. I would start from one, wait for 6 weeks or so, and then add another one. If you start so many things at the same time, you won't be able to judge their good or bad effects.
Hello, just wanted to know if you had your period back with maca or vitex. I'm in your same situation!
Hello, just wanted to know if you had your period back with maca or vitex. I'm in your same situation
@@lucybloom4781 Hi! I would start with making other dietary changes before adding in those supplements. They can cause the problems to get worse, but diet changes might help clear your issue up without other supplements. Hope you figure it out! :-)
Thank you for the wonderful video. No one can explain why I am spotting nine stop right after period till next period and I am scared to ttc as I had miscarriage while these symptoms were present. Do you recommend to take all vitex, maca root, vit b6, magnesium and zinc OT just to choose one of them to improve progesterone?
I would take all the supporting nutrients, and then would choose either maca or vitex. Also it's always best to introduce one thing at a time. Advanced TRS is another great thing to balance hormones, improve periods and fertility (I've been taking it for more than a year, and this is my latest (a new one is very overdue) update: ua-cam.com/video/PyWA-LoCeK4/v-deo.html). Liver and gallbladder flushes can also be very helpful for hormonal balance and overall health. And also mineral balancing using the information from the root cause protocol. Wishing you lots of healing and lots of baby dust!
Very nice
Thank you. My LP has been 8-9 days after my temp shift, among other symptoms.
That's a sign of low progesterone.
@@Vitalivesfree Hello, I'm having an estrogen attack. My breasts are always sensitive. The metabolism is very slow. Could this be due to a lack of progesterone?
Hi, firstly thanks for your video . I wanna ask you abot ashwagandha and its play in hormone . Is it so good as many naturopathics doctors tell us ? Actually I take maca but I do not see really changes . Also what time i should do blood test if I’ve lost my period for about 2 months ?
It's good for some and not so good for others. The same applies to maca root. We're all different and react to things differently, which doesn't makes things easy at all. :-) If you don't have a period and aren't ovulating, you can probably test at any time, but without ovulation both estrogen and progesterone are very likely to be low.
A good, blessed morning and thank you so much for the information. I did have one quick question. Are the supplements and herbs, outlined above, to be taken together or seperately?
It depends. You might not even need them all. Pick and choose whatever you feel is relevant for you. xx
Hi, thank you a lot for the video. The channel in general is very good.
I have low progesterone. In fact, my Gynecologist prescribe me with provera after an endometrial hiperplasia to make my period come. I'm trying with provera this month but I want to switch to a more natural approach.
I'm also testing my bbt so i can know if progesterone increases. My strogen is ok. In fact is too high. I have constipation and hair loss because of the imbalance.
So, I will try with the supplements you mention. Vitex is not found in my country (Costa Rica) but i will take magnessium and zinc. Hopefully, it works.
I don't like syntetic hormones. I'm 30 and I think that deppending of contraceptives and similar drugs before trying with natural supplements is a mistake. Maybe is a thing simple to correct.
Keep with the good work.
Hope it helps! Thank you for watching my videos.
thank you!
Hello I remember in one of your videos you saying you had Hashimoto's. I don't know if you still have it or not but my question is is it safe to take progesterone cream if you have Hashimoto's? Also DHEA, pregnenolone, or vitex?
My thyroid is fine now. Here's the video I made about it: ua-cam.com/video/nIwzzEIvaTY/v-deo.html. I don't think they could harm Hashi's, but you definitely should check with your doctor first. xx
VitaLivesFree
So do you no longer have Hashimoto's? Because I heard that it doesn't just go away on its own. Once the switch has been turned on it cannot go off. I heard that you can only reverse symptoms. I hope that it can be cured. I was diagnosed with it a while back and want to get rid of it completely. If It is possible and not the symptoms.
Yes, my thyroid is fine now. Hashimoto's can go into remission, but if you get really stressed, catch a nasty virus, etc. it might come back again in the future. On the other hand, someone who's never had it can also get it at any point of their life, so there are no guarantee. Getting it into remission is as close to complete cure as one can get in this world. xx
Thank you so much for this. I have a question, Vitex is amazing for me but even if I have the smallest amount of macca, it makes me fly into a rage, ALA also did the same thing to me. I cant figure out why these increased anger in me. Pmdd is a thing for me so I have to be extremely cautious with anything I take. Thank you so much, you are a massive helo to us women and possibly men .
Start taking Ashwanagha = Indian Ginseng and a high dose of VitD3 daily all year round. I'd look into finding a good homeopath so you can take so homeopath medicine. It works wonders but you need to stick with it for over a year or two.
@@jessicahitchens6926 I appreciate you. However, Ashwagandha makes me go into complete rage.
I’m 51 and my throat always burns now I know why. My progesterone is low it was tested a month ago using cream and it’s helps tremendously! Thank you for this I was going nuts trying to figure out why my throat is on fire 🔥
Another reason for the throat on fire could be acid reflux. Have you looked into that?
I did have it in the past
I am just post menopause. I have been using Smokey Mountain Natural Progesterone. I had severe migraines before I took progesterone. Been taking the cream for almost a year, 10 days a month. Can taking progesterone give you headaches? I have noticed headaches while taking it. Maybe try a different brand. I am a good eater, organic very little meat and if I do its organic chicken. Was wondering if you can get headaches from taking progesterone...I know about xenoestrogens and take DIM..cutting as many xenos out as I can.
I really can't answer your question, but I guess progesterone cream could cause headaches if it's the wrong dose, if you don't actually need it, or perhaps some of the ingredients bother you. You said you had migraines also before the cream though? Not sure I understood your comment completely.
You said sore throat and what kind of throat? Was it frog throat is a sign of menopause? Thanks for your help.
I think it's the sensation of burning, sore throat.
Would you recommend upping your magnesium if low before trying Vitex?
Definitely! Fixing nutritional deficiencies should always be the first step because if you don't have enough building blocks, Vitex won't even be able to "build" more progesterone. xx
What is vitix
1. I have EVERY single symptom of low progesterone that you listed. Everything you mentioned.
2. Started taking maca and I got pregnant with baby #3 after 2 years of trying.
Being a woman friggin blows. I want a refund
Being a woman comes with a lot of perks as well. It's not all bad!
My same thoughts!😒😒
I honestly love being a woman. This is just a downside of being one. If our lives were perfect, that would be great. However, if we never struggled, we would never grow and learn how to handle difficult situations.
Lol, I want a refund also all these headaches why does everything need to change?its life but don't like it.
@@zoeh.4421 True
Hi VitalLivesFree, I am suffering from PMDD. I took Vitex few months ago but it was H&B very low dose(4mg), so did not do anything. Then I switched to Maca, it did help me with energy and little bit of positivity but did not really help much with PMDD. I dont want to be on birth controls, so thinking to take 400mg vitex from this month (from cycle day 6). Can Vitex and Maca be combined together and taken at the same time? I m thinking to take Vitex first thing in the morning. My hormones level came normal in the blood test, however I may not have done that on day 21. Looking at my symptoms I am definitely have estrogen dominance, however like yourself I may have just have a slight dominance of estrogen but makes me heavily depressed and tired for 7-10 days before my periods. Thank you in advance for your reply and all the fantastic information you have in your videos. Its really helpful for women like me.
As far as I understand, I did combine Vitex and maca at the same time and it was fine. But you really need to research it for yourself. Acupuncture can be very helpful for PMS and weird hormonal symptoms like this. It helped me immensely, too.
Homeopathic medicine, it definitely works and is tailored to your needs. The other supplements won't hone in on the internal issues.
Just found out I have low progesterone and it’s causing me to have really bad anxiety out of nowhere so I’m taking the progesterone shot has anyone experienced this?
I wonder if you could kindly answer this…. Once you’ve tested progesterone on the right day of the cycle what level are we looking for?
did u do a video for menopause if not could u? thanks for helping
I haven't, sorry. I'm taking a break from making videos, but perhaps one day I'll make a video about it. ❤️
Would you recommend taking Vitex during the whole cycle and into the first 12 weeks of pregnancy in place of progesterone tablets to sustain a pregnancy until the 12 week mark when the placenta takes over? I just had a miscarriage after 1.5 yrs of trying for our first and the OB said my progesterone was very low and says I should take progesterone once I get my next positive test. I am very weary on ever taking anything not natural.
I'm so, so sorry about your miscarriage, Cara. I hope your rainbow baby is right around the corner. Now regarding vitex, ladies who get pregnant taking vitex, generally take it until around 12 weeks to avoid abrupt changes in the hormone levels (even though many conventional doctors would probably say that you need to stop, so everyone needs to do their own research and make their own informed decision). I really don't know if vitex alone could keep your progesterone high enough, but what's important is that not all progesterone is synthetic and bad for you. There are bioidentical forms of progesterone that can help you keep your pregnancy going without being unnatural and messing up your natural hormones. Wishing you lots of baby dust!
How much magnesium do you recommend? And Vit b6?
I don't recommend anything because I'm not a doctor. You'll need to do your own research for dosing. ❤️
I’m perimenopause & barely having a period. Had period past January right before my yearly well women’s exam (in Jan) but hadn’t had one prior to that since July. At time of visit, breast tenderness had been extremely painful for a few months so hormone tested: estrogen@500 but FSH wasn’t indicative of menopause (happened to be ovulating too at this appt right after period.) I started taking EPO & breast tenderness went away. A few more months now w/no libido, no periods & just started getting hot flashes this month mostly during sleep & not sleeping well. Where do I start?? I can’t take progesterone test if not ovulating? My gut telling me low progesterone or add proper supplements if not certain & how do I test when not having periods nor ovulating most months? (Yet also not menopausal based on fsh??) It’s confusing. I am pescatarian & take supplements: milk thistle, Evening Primrose Oil, D3/K2, C, probiotic, krill oil, glucosamine chond msm, magnesium citrate, astaxanthine & drink collagen powder & ACV/lemon jc. Aside from the perimenopause I suffer: tendonitis, cracking popping joints, neck, fingers, hip & feet pain. I just began trying CBD for pain. I won’t take pharmaceuticals. Thanks for any feedback 🙏
Hello! I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles. I can see you're taking lots of supplements. How about adaptogenic herbs for female bodies, perhaps shatavari or dong quai? Shatavari heloed me immensely. Also lifestyle. If you're under a lot of stress ,not sleeping enough, it's important to address it as it affects hormonal balance a lot. Adaptogenic stress busting herbs can be very helpful there, too. Wishing you lots of healing!
I use dim and bio identical progesterone cream!
Hi I have pcos since I m taking vitax my cycle is 28 days but I'm spoting before periods and I m try to convince can I start pojestron cream
I would always suggest checking your progesterone and estradiol levels first before tampering with the hormones in anyway. And there are so many other things to try first before trying the progesterone cream.
the way you said "bring lil humans into the earth" was so cute i had to rewind the video 5x and listen again
Hahaha, it's the most beautiful thing we can do on this Earth. :-)
What about seed cycling? I ovulated a couple weeks ago by chance (after 3-4 months), so I started it the day after I ovulated on the progesterone phase (sesame and sunflower seeds). I tried vitex and maca before, but didn't do anything. I have PCOS and finally starting to get serious about it now that I am removed from a long term stressful situation and currently ttcing.
Seed cycling sounds like a very different theory. It certainly doesn't hurt to try, and it could potentially help. Don't forget that what you eat and getting enough sleep are so important as well. Lots of baby dust to you!
I love your videos but can you please advise me with one thing I am in my sixties I am post hysterectomy I'm still having hot flashes at night the headaches and mood swings ..
my hysterectomy was actually in the 90s, with constant postmenopausal Syndrome that has been going on forever
I have looked into the chastBerry and some doctors say not to use it because it has high estrogen ??and now I recently have found a very small lump in one of my breasts, I think that probably is a cyst, but I'm going to have to have it checked out..
Are there any herbs, diet. juicing or anything that you can suggest to me??? Thank u
Have you read the DHEA miracle book? Also there are some fabulous chinese herbs (get the really high quality ones) for menopausal misery...I am taking a blend that prevent night sweats..by supporting thekidneys and liver..and I am SO THANKFUL that these herbs are working for me and I can sleep..and feel normal in this respect...I wish that your answers will come for you
Chasteberry doesn't contain estrogen. In fact, it helps balance excess estrogen in the case of estrogen dominance. If I were you, I would look into natural progesterone cream. Also, there is a great book by Dr Lee about dealing with menopause: amzn.to/2xpP1Ie. I highly recommend it, and it might provide the answer you're looking for.
Soul Song Please supply the name of this miracle product blend! I need it. Thanks!
Well, I found you, divine soul!
After a respiratory virus, I was left with a neurovegetative dystoniaweather sensitivity, (rheumatisms, weather change, hot to cold and vice versa, atmospheric pressure) and I can't find concrete help in classical medicine.
I was told that I have an unbalanced Manipura chakra, that the heat must go up to the Ajna chakra out of the head, for me it is blocked in the stomach, I feel when the weather changes that it is like a fire around the stomach.
These people only have chemical drugs for the autonomic nervous system and the vagus nerve!
How could I write you a few lines?!
Do you have an e-mail please?!
Thank you very much!
May God bless you abundantly.

Try a good acupuncturist. They're very good at unblocking stuck energies or reverse incorrect flow of energy. ❤️
Hi, don't know if you're still responding on here, but do you think the progestorone test strips are an accurate indication?
I don't to be honest. I would personally go for a proper blood test or saliva test.
What if you are beginning menopause? your cycle is no longer regular how do you know when to do the saliva test?
If you still ovulate, you need to do the test 7 days afte the ovulation. And if you don't, then you can probably do the test at any time but without the ovulation all the levels will be quite low anyway.
@@Vitalivesfree thank you so much!
Hi 👋 I took contraceptive pill 10 times in an span of every 6 months and I stopped it from 4 years. And also I got miscarry and took tablets from Doctor for that.. Now I’m suffering from too much headache which is from past 8 years.. Plz help me what test should I undergo and I dono what is wrong in m body ? Plz suggest me what to do that will be great helpful in my life
Check your progesterone and estrogen levels for a start. Also check this video about quitting the pill: ua-cam.com/video/LN7Vqi1Cxw4/v-deo.html.
Vitex ( agnus cactus ) does it works if you're taking contraception pills?
No, Vitex can interfere with the contraceptive action of the birth control pills, so they aren't supposed to be taken together.
What about long LH surge. What does that mean?
There's something that has been bothering me for a good while, and not even my gynecologist or endocrinologist could give me a proper answer. They just say it's normal. My first period came when I was 14. Now I'm 20 and until last year, my periods were extremely painful, heavy, and they lasted for a week, in which I felt weak and grumpy. But they were regular. Since last year, my period started to come at 40-60 days, but those symptoms stopped! No acne, no pain, no heavy bleeding, period lasts 3 days, no clogs, no mood swings. Why is that?
I would suggest testing your progesterone and estrogen levels. It's the only way to find out. During teenage years girls often have estrogen dominance but then in the twenties hormones tend to level out, so maybe that's what happened in your case?
My hormonal levels are in normal ranges. I just find it strange that when my period was regular, everything else was horrible, and now that it became rather irregular, everything else calmed down (not that I mind; it just surprises me very much). And I didn't make any major changes. I eat as healthy as possible, I exercise lightly 10 minutes per day, I take care of my mental health and I try to keep stress at bay, like I've been doing for some years now. Anyway, thank you very much for your answer :)
At 2:13 to 2:16ish, what are you saying? I'm having trouble making it out. It sounds like something to do with "throat"?
Sore and burning throat.
Hi,I did the tests on 21st day. The result is : Progesterone 11.55 ng / ml, estradiol 244.0 ng / L.
I hope I have calculated well, and the ratio is 47.3? Does that mean that I am estrogen dominant? I want to ask,when should i take maca root? all the time or in some particilar menstrual phase? Tnx!
My ratio was almost the same at the beginning of my healing journey. It does look like estrogen dominance. Progesterone is lowish (optimal range starts from 15) and estradiol is close to the top of the range (the optimal range I have written in my notes is 20-277ng/L during luteal phase). For maca root, I took it during the entire cycle, but it's good to go off it for a few days regularly to keep it functioning well (the same applies to all the herbs). xx
@@Vitalivesfree Hi, in my case, can i take just progesterone cream, what is your opinion?😊
Thank you; I've not been able to find a video that explains the combo of both 1) nonstop period bleeding (for months at a time), and 2) fibrocystic breasts, both of which are tremendously disruptive and don't just go away on their own. Why do these remedies take so long? Like most, I give up when I don't see improvement after a week or so.
I'm glad my video was helpful! Natural remedies take long to work because they don't mask symptoms like medications. Fixing things does take things, just like getting out of balance takes lots of time, too.
SJ Highly suggest EPO (Evening Primrose Oil capsules for breast tenderness; excellent! And don’t give up on anything you try in only a week; not long enough
I hope you’ve found your cute! I too, had long term bleeding issues and using a natural, USP grade progesterone cream single handedly cured me. 5 years of baffling doctors and going on and off toxic synthetic hormone prescriptions.. natural progesterone cream was an answer to my prayer.
@@jjmushrush hi! Can you please post what brand you used? And is your cycle still normal now just from the cream?
Can I take a vitex supplement along with Anna’s wild yam cream?
I would. ❤️
Can i take vitex during period days? Can both multi vitamin and vitex be use together?
Some say it should be taken all month long, some say there should be a break of 5 days from the first day of the period. I personally take a break during my period. I don't think there is any reason why a multivitamin and vitex can't be used together.
I have slightly lower progesterone (it's been tested several different cycles) and it's been causing infertility issues but most importantly for me I've noticed every month I get debilitating migraines a few days after ovulation every single month. Also when I have taken progesterone supplements I get the migraines. Why do you think this happens? I want to raise my progesterone but I don't understand why my body responds with horrible migraines 😣
Possible because your adrenals are stressed and any extra progesterone goes to more cortisol? Because cortisol is made out of progesterone. Or perhaps because adding progesterone activates estrogen receptors at the beginning, so it can make estrogen dominance temporarily worse.
@@Vitalivesfree how would one test these two hypothesys? I did test my hormones regularly on day 3 and day 21. Now i could compare but taking progesterone orally i dont think doing day 21 progesterone makes sense. I have tested cortisol several times before, also dhea, testosterone, estrogene. Do you have any idea? Btw, you're very good at this.
@@Vitalivesfree also, do you know possible (hormonal) causes for headaches? I used to have 24h headaches. I assumed it was related to going yo bed late and lack of sleep, but 24h was too long. (Trying to get useful info from understanding this)
I was wondering if my dip in progesterone is because I’m entering periomenopause?
Hi I just started watching your videos thank you!
My doctor told me my progesterone levels were low and cortisol levels were high. She put me on prescription progesterone 50mg last mth (finished them) But I don’t wanna take prescriptions so I asked her if I can take the natural progesterone cream instead. So I’m taking that now.
I got some Maca. Can I take Maca with progesterone cream? And what’s a good starting mg when first taking Maca?
Thank you again ♥️🙌🏼🙂
Remember also that extra progesterone can convert to extra cortisol, so it's important to address your stress levels and adrenal health at the same time. I'm not sure if maca can be combined with progesterone. It might be but I would encourage you to do plenty of research about it by yourself. I personally started from 1/4 tsp of maca and worked my way up to 1 tsp but there are so many different opinions, so you'll just need to find what works for you.
Thank you!
I’m only doing 25mg of progesterone cream a day 12 days after my period for the 14 days. I just got the Maca powder today. So I’ll start small.
Thank you!
Do you feel that seed cycling works to promote the production of estrogen and progesterone?
I've never tried it, but I've read about it and it kind of makes sense. Wouldn't hurt to try.
@@Vitalivesfree can you suggest any books on hormones?
Dr Lara Briden's "The Period Repair Manual" is great.
Is DIM another supplement that would help with low progesterone? I have low progesterone bug my estrogen levels are normal. Which makes me "estrogen dominant" but with normal estrogen levels. So I'm unsure how to naturally fix everything.
+Brittany Akers No, DIM won't affect progesterone in any way but it's very likely to lower estrogen, so it's not good in your situation. Vitex is the most helpful herb, maca root to a lesser extent, and also magnesium with B6. 💖
Thank you so much! Should you take Vitex or Maca Root or can you take both of them?
+Brittany Akers I take both of them. 💖
Can u take maca and vitex together?, thanks.
Yes, I've read they can be combined.
I honestly think mine is high ,or I am just very sensitive to it.I feel so nauseous when progesterone rises ,it's insane .And the breast pain is horrific to me ,Sometimes it starts hurting after ovulation and doesn't stop until I bleed .
Sounds really difficult. I'm sorry you have to go through it every month. A saliva progesterone and estradiol test would tell you which one it is. Both low and high can have similar symptoms.
So even if you have high testosterone androgens pcos or insulin resistance, you still think as long as we take these supplements were good?
Not really, nothing is so miraculous to work for everyone. Some will be helped by some things, some by others.
Could you pls tell me can drop in Progesterone level lead to breathlessness? If so, what is the remedy?
I liked your video, good information
I don't know if progesterone itself can cause breathlessness. But I wouldn't be surprised because hormones are powerful. On the other hand, dropping hormone levels can simply be a symptom of something else that is causing the symptoms. Iron deficiency is one cause for example. 💖
Thank you soooo much for your reply😍
Hey. I am 30year old mother of a 3 year old and suffer from Moderate to severe acne with hirsutism, dandruff and hair loss. I started DIM (Estroblock) last month but it broke me out badly then I switched to Saw Palmetto (DHT blocker) which is working fine. It is improving my skin lil by lil. But the only problem I am facing is weird smell while I urinate, it smells like semen. Is this normal? Thanks
I've no idea. I've never tried Saw Palmetto myself. xx
Thanks for replying... saw palmetto is clearing me up nicely. Its been a week only but all my angry cystic acne is drying up and I am not getting cystic acne only whiteheads/small bumps which takes few days to vanish. I think (my guess only) its the the extra testosterone or DHT which is coming out from my urine.
I want to test but idk what day because idk anything about my cycle. How do I figure out when to test it? Please reply I need help ):
Learn about your cycle! It's every woman's responsibility. Our power lies in knowing our bodies. Educate yourself about the fertility awareness method and you'll know everything you need to know and you'll also know exactly when your ovulation happens.
Hi, I purchased vitex natures way. I'm very nervous about taking this medication after i read it can raise LH level which is usually high for pcos. I've got borderline Pcos. My periods are always regular but I don't ovulate as my progesterone is low. Plz tell me if I should still take vitex?
I wouldn't try it without knowing what my LH levels are because Vitex is definitely not good for those with high LH: Not everyone with PCOS has high LH, so checking the levels is the only way to know. xx
VitaLivesFree Hi, if it raises LH levels, isn't that meant to be good because that's what induces ovulation and I don't ovulate regularly?? I thought vitex was great for people with pcos but I'm not too sure now
It's good for those with normal or low LH and bad for those with high LH. Lack of ovulation can happen with all these scenarios. Here's an article about Vitex: www.larabriden.com/vitex-for-period-problems/. xx
VitaLivesFree I'm gonna speak to my doctor and ask him if my LH level is low. I know my estrogen level is high.
Hi! I was diagnosed with low progesterone after dealing with really long heavy periods ( once up to 5 weeks) . My Ob gyn ordered a uterus biopsy to rule out cancer. It came back negative but she wants to perform a D&C procedure to get rid of a granular growth. So I also have Anemia and she prescribed progesterone pills. Trying to avoid the hormones I bought one product that claims to be effective. Could you give you your opinion on the ingredients?
Bear in mind I'm not a doctor. Which product did you have in mind?
Is there anyway to naturally balance hypothyroid? Thanks!
Here's how I healed my thyroid: ua-cam.com/video/lAqrocRQi2E/v-deo.html. And here's the entire Hashimoto's Healing playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLsUaJG3Q74G6RBvi251tP0PDSMxq7qhP7.html. xx
I have low progesterone estrogen dominance high prolactin I also have hypothyroid which I am taking desiccated thyroid for I’m working to find the appropriate dose is still a little bit low so I bumped up my thyroid gland supplement I’m really hoping that I can get my progesterone up but I’m going through menopause so I don’t know if that’s the normal thing but my doctor did say he wanted me to take VITEX what is the safety on that
Vitex is great for low progesterone, estrogen dominance, and high prolactin, so your doctor is right. Such a brilliant doctor to be recommending natural remedies rather them medications. Hold on to him tight! ;-)
VitaLivesFree thank you , I was reading tho that vitex can cause ovarian cysts
I have not see my period a year what we I take the period to come. Help me please. Thank you for very much and God bless you amen.
Vitex is very helpful for bringing periods back.
How should i do if i have to high progesteron? Thank you for your feedback. 💕🙏🏻😊
I don't have any experience with it, sorry! I think it might potentitally be a sign of PCOS but don't quote me on it.
Have you been noticing lighter/less clotty periods with the vitex yet? How long have you been using it?
Yes, definitely. The problem is that I took it for two months, then stopped for two months and I've restarted it again a couple of weeks ago, but this time I'm going to stick with it for the full 6 months. I've learned a lot from this experience and will be talking about it in the next videos.
VitaLivesFree My story :)
First of all, your channel is so incredibly amazing ! Such soothing style you have 😙
I took the Vitex for 2 and half months and while it was helping with my hormonal acne , i abruptly stopped it. One thing that was bothering me was if we can take it if we already have regular periods. Mine are very regular periods but the first day cramps are literally suicidal ! And the hormonal acne - that worsens during the second half of the cycle. I m eagerly waiting for your next video and anymore thoughts you have on Vitex. Please keep up the great work darling. You are just lovely :)
You can definitely take Vitex if you have periods that come regularly but are too heavy or you have heavy cramps. Stopping Vitex abruptly is really not a good thing because progesterone levels will crash with such an abrupt change. I did the same and I had the worst hot flashes ever and my progesterone fell pretty low for the first time. You need to wean off it slowly. Vitex has been helping me quite a bit though, so this time I'll stick with it. Thank you so much for your kind words regarding my work!
Please I need help,mine is high and iam trying to conceive for years now and my cycle is irregular, thanks
You mean your progesterone is too high? How strange, I've never heard of it before. xx
What can i take that will replace p .that works.iam post menopause.JOYCE.LOPEZ
Natural progesterone cream perhaps?
I tried the vitex and it gave me dry mouth sooo bad I couldn’t take it anymore...it was so disappointing because I’m having a lot of hormonal issues
Wow, that's an interesting symptom! I've also had a lot of burning mouth feelings while I was taking Vitex. Hope you find something else that works!
Hi! When should I test progesterone if I don't have regular periods so I can't really count and make sure its on 21st day? Thanks for the answer :)
It needs to be 7 days after the ovulation, so if you track your basal body temperatures and the cervical mucus, you'll know when you ovulate. xx
Do you take vitex the whole month or just the second half (after ovulation)?
The whole month with a 5-day break during menstruation.
and what and how often to use if you want to get pregnant???
I'm just 18 years old n I've irregular periods.. I'm always tired n I experience joint pain , back pain, hairloss,dry skin, dark spots especially in the armpits....Deviry tablets get me periods. But I don't want to take supplements. Please help me.. are all these symptoms of mine are due to lack of progesterone?
You really can't tell from symptoms alone. So many causes could be behind symptoms like this. You should really start by getting your hormones tested, so you'll know for sure. Two things I would suggest looking into is candida (and heavy metals because that's why candida overgrowth happens) and hypothyroidism.
I'm really confused because since coming off the pill my cycles are SOOO irregular- previously they were so regular. Got hormones checked and I have low progesterone which is probably why I'm not ovulating frequently. But when i do ovulate, my Luteal phase is about 12 days long so I'm confused as if my progesterone really was so deficient surely my Luteal phase would be far shorter
How is your follicular phase? My progesterone was also on the lower side of normal and the luteal phase was around 12 days, but my estrogen was also on the lower side, which is what was making my follicular phase shorter and shorter (so my periods were coming closer and closer together) and my ovulations weaker and weaker.
@@Vitalivesfree oh I'm the opposite, my follicular phase is so insanely long and it takes me ages to ovulate, but the luteal side of things are ok. Like my period is of a normal length, my Luteal temps are reasonably high (could be higher) but all of my issues lie in the follicular phase. Is this due to too much Estrogen?
@@user-ug9hc6lt4s Possibly due to too much estrogen compared to progesterone (which you said is low). But not high estrogen per se. Also it does take a long time for the hormones to get back into balance after the pill. Sometimes it can even take a year. ❤️
@@Vitalivesfree yes my Estrogen is not overly high its within normal range but obviously compared to progesterone its dominant over the two. Ahh thank you for your help.😘
Does one continue taking Vitex during pregnancy? How can one maintain high progesterone levels during pregnancy and avoid miscarriage?
I personally would. Lots of women do, too. Stopping it abruptly in the first 12 weeks can cause a fall in progesterone and then a miscarriage, so most ladies seem to continue and then slowly wean off it closer to 12-14 weeks when placenta takes over the production of progesterone. Even though most doctors would probably say that vitex hasn't been studies in pregnancy enough, so it's best not to take it.
you didnt mention the most important herb and that is Wild jam
Hey, what supplement you recommend depression and high anxiety?
Magnesium above all. Also if progesterone is low (need to test it), addressing low progesterone is amazing for anxiety. I'll talk about depression and anxiety in separate videos though.
L-Tryptophan and L-Tyrosine + Ashwaghanda root (supplement)... I’d You’re still anxious add L-Theanine or GABA.
Yohanna L-Tryptophan and L-Tyrosine + Ashwaghanda root (supplement)... I’d You’re still anxious add L-Theanine or GABA.
@@Vitalivesfree i find liquid chlorophyll lift me depression greatly, any ideas?
@@Vitalivesfree also can alot of zinc make you depressed/less sleep, shut down, like No feelings, as fast as i took liquid chlorophyll all of those symptoms gone away
Beside vitex What can i take for cysts in the ovaries?
Lara Briden has lots of valuable information. Here's her website: www.larabriden.com.
I have continuous menstrual bleed from mid February to till date... please give me solution...I am 42..not yet conceived
I can't give you individual advice, but I really hope that some of the tips from the video will help. Wishing you lots of healing!
Is wild yam cream a progesterone cream ?
It should help your body produce more progesterone but it's not a progesterone cream per se. ❤️
