While reading one of my fellow ChattyWomen’s posts, I was intrigued by her mention of progesterone, and decided to look into the topic more.

I was quite surprised that progesterone effects far more than just reproductive issues. The site also details how it helps with stress levels and weightloss.  While I generally don’t recommend using “artificial” weightloss aids, this one seems to have some promise.

First off the progesterone is a topical cream, so you have a lot more control over the amount you use versus a pill. You can also adjust how much you use, and when, depending on how you are feeling. One thing that caught my eye was that women who have higher estrogen levels tend to eat right and exercise, yet still don’t lose the weight. That is me in a nutshell! It really got me wondering if this could help with some of my issues.

And the topper? It also supposedly helps the female “libido”….wooohooo!
