I was on the Nuvaring for many years. At 53, my doctor decided it was time to go to the estring and suggested 100 mg progesterone in tablet form to go along with the e-string. From the first night after taking the progesterone, I slept much better and had less back pain. I liked that. But soon I realized that it was too strong, making by breasts sore, etc. I also noticed that I felt sleepy all day even though I only take it at night. I went off it and soon had a period, and then went back to back aches preventing sound sleep. I went on a bio identical progesterone cream that is about a 20mg dose each day. I had less pain again and slept better, but I am still tired and sleepy all the next day. Does anybody know how you can get the advantages of better sleep at night without feeling sleepy all day the next day? Any little tricks or supplements that can help with that? Someone else had this problem. If you have found an answer, I would love to hear it. I would also like to get the booklet.
Thanks a lot. Good luck everyone with getting your hormones balanced and working well!
