Has anyone gained weight while taking progesterone? I have been taking it for about 3 wks and feel bloated and have probably gained about 6-8lbs. I remember now why I quit taking it last year.

I have been using --> beeyoutiful's progesterone cream for several years and have not had any problems. In fact, it has been a lifesaver for me and helped me not to gain weight and to balance my cycles. What kind do you use? Are you using it every day without a break? The directions that came with mine are to use it only on days 12 through 26. This info is according to "What your dr may not tell you about Premenopause" by Dr. John Lee. The above link explains the directions. More is not better in the case of progesterone. You may be using too much. HTH!

I am not familiar with capsules, never even knew they made it as capsules. Are these prescription?
I do remember reading that it is absorbed best topically into the skin.
Hope someone else who has knowledge about this answers.
