Product Reviews of Emerita Pro-Gest Natural Progesterone Cream, Paraben-Free, 4-Ounce Tube
Product Review: Sanity at Last!
Summary: 5 Stars
This cream is excellent! I experienced off-the-charts menopausal symptoms for over two years. Because of Emerita progesterone crème, I don't have to shuffle from one gynecologist to another trying to find relief any longer. Each gynecologist only offered hrt for my troubles. Hormone replacement therapy just exacerbated the problem. But finally I have lift-off! I can rub approximately an inch and a half of this wonderful cream on once or twice a day-- especially before I go to bed at night, and not have to worry about waking up in the morning raging like a werewolf.Product Review: Saved my sanity
Summary: 5 Stars
[...]
Have had pretty much the same results as everyone else - near miraculous righting of some pretty bad wrongs, in my case severe PMS-related edema (bloating), depression, insomnia, and general flulike symptoms, sometimes lasting for nearly three weeks. I'm 40 years old and have been to many doctors over the years - since I was about 25 - getting my hormone levels checked. All anyone would ever tell me was that my levels were normal and they'd imply all my symptoms were in my head.
I realize I sound like an informercial, but I started to get desperate. I had tried completely eliminating caffeine (it can boost estrogen levels), started different vitamins and made dietary changes, none of which worked. I read about this cream in an article about PMS and tried it almost on a whim. I started slathering it on and noticed a near immediate dramatic improvement. After years and years and years of trying to find something that would help, it feels like a miracle. I'm still getting some swelling, but for the first time in my life my period's on time and this last month I didn't suffer severe PMS-related depression, for the first time in about 15 years. I feel like I have my life back.
One caveat: You'll really need to experiment with the cream to figure out how much you need without causing some unwanted side effects. The directions on the package say to use this twice a day, and to use about a half teaspoon. I did this for the first month or two before realizing that much cream will give me severe insomnia for about three days, worse than what I had been experiencing with the PMS. Apparently progesterone is a steroid hormone, which can cause sleeplessness. Long story short, a little dab of this will do me - I use probably a quarter teaspoon only once per day to get these miraculous effects. I use it first thing in the morning and only for two weeks out of the month. Sometimes I don't use it for a day or two near the tail end of my cycle - rising progesterone upsets my stomach and if I'm starting to notice that I'll slack off a little bit. (Update after having used this a while: I'm now down to using it only once per day every other day...a dollop about the size of a dime. If I use more than that I just can't take the insomnia - and I still get relief from the worst of the PMS symptoms.)
I'm not crazy about the smell, which is kind of like wheat (it's not unpleasant, just not floral or perfumey). The cream itself is sort of thick and sticky - I personally put it on my calves, where I don't seem to notice the heavy feel so much. But it doesn't matter - I'd bathe in it if I had to, or smear it all over my face, it's helped me so much.
THANKS EMERITA!!!! I can't tell you how much you've helped me. And my poor husband. ;)
UPDATE...I'm pleased to report my PMS symptoms are showing even more improvement, the longer I've been using the Emerita cream. I no longer swell double every month (which is wonderful, as I can stop buying clothing in two sizes) and the difference in my mood and sense is wellness is nothing short of amazing. My one regret about this product is that I didn't find it 15 years ago. I can't recommend it enough.
Product Review: Seems to be effective for PCOS.
Summary: 5 Stars
I first started using this Natural Progesterone Cream for my PCOS (Polycistic Ovarian Syndrome) in August. As per the recommendations of Dr. John Lee. I use it for two weeks on and then I'm off of it for two weeks and then I repeat the cycle over again, making allowances for my period when needed. So far I have been most pleased. It seems to be working exactly by the text book. The first month my acne started clearing up. The second month my acne was so clear my skin had a natural glow, to the point where I quit using the mounds of makeup I had been using. By the fourth month, lo and behold, my period was regular and I had no signs of PMS. (According to the natural health doctors PMS is all a sign of hormone imbalances. We women aren't supposed to go through the torture conventional medicine has us believing is normal.) My period was regular again by the fifth month. (That has never happened to me before in my entire life, since I started at thirteen and a half.) And now that the end of the fifth month is approaching, I'm starting to lose weight. All of this is exactly as the natural Progesterone Cream treatment for PCOS is stated to work. Therefore, I think those that call this the "Cinderella" hormone, are right. It is absolutely marvelous. When I first used it, I did gain about three or four pounds. Which alarmed me, but I decided to heed the medical advice and follow the process. Much to my delight. As anyone who has PCOS knows, due to our hormone imbalances we have a lot of inner turmoil. However, with this cream I feel such peace and tranquility inside. So much so, that I'm at ease with both myself and others. Incidentally, I'm also a singer. And I've noticed that the quality of my singing voice has improved with this as well. (The first month I did struggle some vocally with this cream, but it soon passed.) I'll post more updates as I keep using it. But for now, suffice it to say, this cream is my lifesaver. And I am currently using it and intend to keep on using it. Definitely five stars out of five.Product Review: Sleep!
Summary: 3 Stars
I've noticed since using this cream that I sleep better and with less interuptions! If I forget to use it at night I wake several times.Product Review: Solved heart palpitations
Summary: 5 Stars
I am 46 and began having MAJOR heart palpitations and arrhythmias. My heart beat was so irregular it would skip beats for several seconds and have extra beats - all over the map. I felt horrible and went to see an endocrinologist (male) because I thought it was related to my thyroid condition. I told him about the hot flashes, too, but my thyroid hormones were still normal and he gave me a referral to a cardiologist.
Luckily, I got some good advice from my sister and did some online research regarding perimenopause and found out the heart thing could be related to estrogen dominance. I took ONE dose of the Emerita cream and I began to feel immediately better. The weird pressure feeling in my head and neck went away and my heartbeat improved. After about FIVE applications over three days my heart rate and rhythm were COMPLETELY NORMAL. It was a total godsend, as I had begun thinking I would need a pacemaker at an early age, and worrying that I might die in my sleep (it was always worse at night). . ! Also, the hot flashes are almost all gone, and are much reduced when they do come. It's only been a couple weeks!! I cancelled my appointment with the cardiologist and I feel great - thank you!
