> More questions, is Estratest the drug that is developed from yams, hence natural.
Estratest is not plant derived. Cenestin is derived from soy and yams. There is another that is reported to be plant derived, Activella, but I don't know from what plants. Probably the same, don't you think?
> I assume you are still takin progestin. Isn't progestin synthetic. If so, do you know of a natural progesterone, if there is such a thing.I know there are progesterone creams and I think someone claims to make a natural progesterone pill. I believe the other progestins are plant based and synthetic. Where do they come up with the natural real honest to goodness progesterone to put in progesterone cream? I know I haven't made any donations lately.
> How is the progestin affecting your mood?It's kind of weird. When I first started taking it, I felt pretty PMS-y and irritable the days I was taking it. Now lately, I feel energetic and bright the days I take it. It must have something to do with the other meds I am taking.
> Thanks for all the info. I can't believe the woman doctor. But she will get hers eventually unless she dies before menopause.
Yes, well, I know I said it before, but I was terribly cocky when I was young. too. I do hope she thinks of me at least once when she starts waking in the dead of winter burning up, drenched in sweat - hot inside her skin and freezing on her skin. Miserable feeling. I'll drink mares' urine if I have to.
