I agree with the others in that you need to get an evaluation by your doctor (preferrably an Endocrinologist or GYN) and some blood work before you get on it (progesterone) or try to increase your progesterone levels.....

I am on Progesterone right now for Endometriosis and to stimulate my appetite. My GYN prescribed it and monitors things very closely. I have frequent visits with her and blood work to check everything from Vitamin levels, hormone levels, and electrolytes.

Its been a great medication for me-- helping to ease the pain of endometriosis by temporarily stopping my period. It also "jump started" my appetite and helped me gain some much needed weight (my heart meds kill my appetite....). But, it DOES have side effects and is not good to be used long term. It can cause weight gain, bone thinning, nausea and, if not monitored carefully, hormonal imbalances.

I'm not trying to scare, only to say, it-- and hormones of any type, are not something you should try on your own.

Good Luck !
