> If you look above (do a search on pms or and pmdd) I have related my experience with progesterone (yam derived-so called 'natural' because there is no patent) and had bad results with progestin.
I couldn't find the post you were referring to. Could you point me in the right direction. What was the subject line and the date it was posted on?
I have read that the reason oral progesterone does not work is because it is passed through the liver and does not reach the required cells through the blood. When the progesterone is given in suppository, creams or injections it absorbs more readily into the bloodstream and is delivered to the cells that require it.
