See more » 1) Progesterone Cream May Deliver a High Dose Women who use over-the-counter progesterone creams could be exposed to hormone levels comparable to prescription oral progesterone, a small study suggests. The study compared one brand of progesterone cream with a prescription oral progesterone that, like the cream, is derived from plant sources and provides a hormone that is structurally identical to the natural progesterone in a woman's body. The prescription product, Prometrium, is used as part of hormone replacement therapy after menopause, or for restoring menstruation in younger women whose periods have stopped. The study found that the over-the-counter cream, when taken as the label directs, exposed study volunteers to as much hormone as the prescription did. However, the cream delivered a steadier dose because it is slowly absorbed through the skin. We recommend that you not use over-the-counter progesterone creams unless you know exactly how much progesterone is in the product, and how much progesterone you actually need. The dose of progesterone you get from the cream will depend on the manufacturer, how much you apply, how often you apply it, and where you apply it. Some areas of the body absorb better than others. Your wisest course of action is to consult with a licensed naturopathic physician or endocrinologist before you to try to "rebalance" your hormones by yourself. You need expert advice to determine the appropriate amount of progesterone (if any) and the best delivery method for you. Slathering progesterone cream on your body just because it sounds like a good idea is not a good idea. Progesterone is a very powerful hormone. Treat it with respect. We caution you about "flying blind" with self-administered hormone therapy. However, progesterone cream can be a very useful therapy, if used properly with proper guidance. Progesterone may be administered to PCOS women in the following cases: to induce withdrawal bleeding, to suppress secretion of luteinizing hormone, in ovulation induction in clomiphene citrate-resistant patients and in luteal phase support in assisted reproduction.

Rats fed a high-fat diet appear to lose their sensitivity to a hormone that tells the body when it's had enough to eat -- and the same could be true of humans, especially those who have PCOS.This problem is especially relevant for women on a low-carb diet because the carbs are typically replaced with fat as well as protein.

Some women with PCOS have a disordered hunger-regulating hormone called CCK, leading to excess eating and weight gain.A high-fat diet may impair sensitivity to CCK. This problem is relevant for women on a "low-carb" diet because the carbs are often replaced with fat and protein. The solution? Choose your fats carefully. Some are good, some bad.
