One of progesterone's most important and powerful roles in the body is to balance or oppose estrogen. " Premenopause-page 60. All of the undesirable effects of estrogen dominance are countered by progesterone. Restoring proper progesterone levels is what is known as restoring hormone balance. We believe in restoring that balance naturally. Natural progesterone can help balance hormones, eliminate estrogen dominance and relieve negative estrogen dominant symptoms without dangerous side effects.

Woman's Dream is a proprietary formula that uses only natural USP grade progesterone for it's active ingredient in a base of organic plant oils and gels. Our USP grade progesterone is obtained from the Mexican wild yam plant or the soy bean plant. Woman's Dream is a velvety smooth cream made from gels and oils of plants that are grown organically. It contains no synthetic hormones of any kind and no wild yam extract. Please note that wild yam extract is not the same as natural progesterone. Natural progesterone is derived from diosgenin, a natural ingredient found mainly in the Mexican wild yam and soy bean plants, but the diosgenin must be converted into progesterone through a process in order for the body to use it. There is no evidence that the human body converts diosgenin to hormones. Progesterone produced from this natural source is the same molecular structure as the progesterone produced by the body, thus no negative side effects are produced.

Fast and effective absorption of the progesterone into the fatty layers under the skin is facilitated by the organic aloe vera gel and other organic ingredients that make up the base. Transdermal progesterone is absorbed through the skin into the underlying fat layer, from which it diffuses into the capillaries permeating the fat, where it can be taken up in the blood as needed. Many women appreciate the beneficial, non-greasy, skin-moisturizing effects Woman's Dream has on their skin.

Woman's Dream cream contains no mineral oil( can block absorption), no artificial colors, fragrances, or animal by-products and involves no animal testing. Be assured that the progesterone in our cream is suspended in the proper medium. Products containing mineral oil will prevent the progesterone from being absorbed into the skin.

Also, the progesterone in Woman's Dream has been properly stabilized so it will not deteriorate over time with exposure to oxygen.

Woman’s Dreamä

Natural progesterone, made from naturally occurring plant sterols, has historically been produced from diosgenin found in wild yam and soybean. We use only USP grade progesterone in a natural, organic base.

APPLICATION

Progesterone is first absorbed into the subcutaneous fat layer and then passively diffused throughout the body via blood circulation. Initially, in progesterone deficient users, much of the progesterone is absorbed into body fat; therefore, some women will begin to feel full results only after two or three months. Most women report feeling results more quickly however.

1. Apply cream to soft, skin areas of body, rotating application sites to assure maximum absorption. Amount used each day should be divided into two applications, one upon arising and one before going to bed at night. Apply to clean skin free from other lotions, creams, makeup, etc.

2. Application Sites: Neck, Inner Upper Arms, Wrists, Breasts, Lower Abdomen, and Inner Thighs, Palms of hands and Soles of Feet.

It is preferable to think in terms of monthly dose rather than daily dose. One jar is equivalent to 2 oz. of cream. When you start using Womens Dream natural progesterone cream, it is advisable that you use one 2-oz. jar per monthly cycle. You will quickly learn what size “gob” to use twice per day to accomplish your monthly dose in the allotted time period, whether it is two weeks or three. After about the first three months this amount may be cut back as your body starts to reach a more normal hormonal balance. Your body will be your guide. The best way to tell if enough cream is being used is whether your symptoms are relieved. If after cutting back on the cream, your symptoms reappear, resume previous usage and try to cut back the following month. If the adverse symptoms do not reappear, keep cutting back on the amount of cream used until you find the amount that works best for you. Ultimately, your goal is to be symptom free.

Use about 1/2 teaspoon each morning and evening for a 12-day period ending just before expected menses. To relieve cramping during menstrual cycle, apply directly to abdominal area each half-hour until cramping subsides. If you have migraines anytime, rub the cream on the back of your neck or on your temples.

Use about ½ teaspoon each morning and evening from DAY 12 to DAY 26 of the menstrual month. Day l of the menstrual month is when your period begins.

If bleeding starts before DAY 26 (or before it would normally begin), stop the progesterone and start counting up to DAY 12 again, and then start the progesterone again. It may take three cycles before you achieve synchrony with your normal cycle.

Use about ¼ teaspoon each morning and evening for 21 consecutive days, then stop using the cream for 7 days. Resume same usage again for a new cycle. It is important that you discontinue use for one week per month to help maintain the body’s ability to absorb maximum benefits from the product.

Use about ¼ teaspoon each morning and evening for 21 consecutive days, then stop using the cream for 7 days. Resume same usage again for a new cycle. Since progesterone replacement in women deficient in progesterone may initially (and temporarily) increase the sensitivity of estrogen receptors, it’s important to reduce the dosage of estrogen by one-half immediately. If you do not, you are likely to experience symptoms of estrogen dominance during the first one to two months of progesterone use. An abrupt reduction in estrogen can trigger resumption of hot flashes or vaginal dryness. These symptoms can be prevented by gradual lowering the estrogen dosage. It is recommended to immediately lower the estrogen dosage by one-half when starting the natural progesterone cream, then every two to three months you can try lowering the dose by half again. Since you will continue to make estrogen (from your body fat), you can experiment with lowering your estrogen dosage until you find the lowest dose that prevents vaginal dryness and/or hot flashes. If needing to use an estrogen supplement, a vaginal cream of estriol is recommended. Getting off the estrogen altogether should be one of your goals. Many women find that estrogen supplementation can be eliminated altogether five to six months after starting the progesterone cream. The presence of progesterone makes estrogen receptors more sensitive so that your own estrogen is usually sufficient.

5. SUGGESTED USE FOR MENOPAUSAL, POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN TAKING ESTROGEN AND PROGESTIN COMBINATION

Use the product as described above but it is important to stop using the progestin immediately when natural progesterone cream is added. The estrogen should be tapered off of slowly.

Apply as suggested for your appropriate monthly cycle plus apply ¼ to ½ tsp. of cream each time you experience the symptoms. Estrogen and progesterone can be used together during a three week or 24 to 25 day time period each month, leaving 5 to 7 days each month without either hormone. The estrogen dose should be low enough that monthly bleeding does not occur but high enough to prevent vaginal dryness or hot flashes. Often when progesterone levels are raised, the pituitary stops trying to signal the ovaries to ovulate, the hypothalamus settles down, and the hot flashes usually subside. A transdermal cream containing estriol may be applied if the hot flashes continue.

Use about ½ teaspoon each morning and evening during the two weeks before menses each month of your cycle.

Use 1 oz. of cream (half a jar) per week for three weeks stopping just before the expected menses. Treatment requires patience. Over time (4 to 6 months) the monthly pain should gradually subside and healing of the inflammatory sites should occur. As condition subsides, cut back on dosage of cream.

9. SUGGESTED USE AFTER HYSTERECTOMY

Use about ¼ teaspoon each morning and evening for 21 consecutive days, then stop using cream for 7 days. Resume same usage again for a new cycle. If you are on HRT follow suggested use in #4 or #5. If you still experience hot flashes or vaginal dryness, use some estriol cream intravaginally for a few months and then try to taper off of that.

For people with mild osteoporosis or for prevention of osteoporosis, use 1 oz. of natural progesterone cream (half a jar) each month, skipping the first seven days.

If you have severe osteoporosis or have experienced fractures, use 2 oz. natural progesterone (a full jar) each month, while skipping the first seven days.

NOTE: You may experience more dramatic estrogen dominant symptoms for a few days after first starting on Woman's Dream. These symptoms will subside as you keep using the cream at your recommended dosage.

Consideration

Although there have been no reports of any significant side effects or health problems associated with natural progesterone use, we encourage you to find a trusted health care provider to work with you as you use natural progesterone.

There have been reports of incidental spotting, which may be associated with progesterone use; however, this is usually temporary. A physician should always check any persistent spotting or breakthrough bleeding. Because some PMS and menopausal symptoms may indicate other conditions, please be sure to consult a health care provider if you ever experience persistent headaches or other progressive symptoms.

There have been reports that when more balanced health is promoted with the use of natural progesterone cream, thyroid hormone is used more effectively. Women who are using a thyroid supplement may wish to consult their physician about the possibility of lowering the amount of their medication.
