Maybe try Retin-A 0.04% microsphere formula on your fine wrinkles?

Yeah, maybe rethink the PGe and sugar then. If you feel it's hurting you, it's not worth keeping at it. You were doing well with Primal so maybe go back to it or even PHD like you mentioned and see if you get the same benefits?Peat's_Girl said:Jennifer said:YAY to the better quality food at affordable prices and YAY to the vitamin A clearing your skin up! Is it working on the crinkles too?
I spoke too soon... I think the PGe/ sugar is working fast to counteract any healing the vitamin A does.
No, it doesn't work on the crinkles. I've been crying about that for the past few days... I don't think they're gonna go away. I'm not even sure what they are. They look like cat scratches under my eyes, and my eyes (like the lower lid) also has tons of wrinkles I didn't notice before. All this trying and researching and fretting has gotten me nowhere, and even worse skin than people my age who drink and smoke. I'm not sure why I even bother trying anything now...
Jennifer said:To me, this shows your liver isn't storing fuel efficiently to get you through the night. Did you run out of the white chocolate?
It melted during the night... If I'm having trouble metabolising sugars I'm not sure how it will help.
It doesn't seem to do anything so far and I still wake up several times a night to pee (not to mention, going out is a drag because I have to find a bathroom everywhere we go).
Jennifer said:I think it took almost a year of high dosing PGe till the girls didn't feel like they were being ripped from my chest. I had completely forgotten about it till you mentioned your soreness so there's definitely light at the end of the tunnel.
Hmm... I don't think that's the same feeling. I might be overdosing for nothing because other than slight sensitivity in the tips I don't feel anything. I don't know.
Jennifer said:My mum is queen of insomnia and she finds if she does this, she can often fall asleep.
Why would that matter?...
i sleep reversed too but it's so the light from the window doesn't bother me.
Jennifer said:Hope the weekend sees you sun, fun, sleep and pain free. *All digits crossed*
Thanks but I can't say it was fun...
Peat's_Girl said:Hmm... I've read on that progesterone cream website (it has a lot of info even though they're selling their own cream). It seems I haven't been taking enough PGe to overcome my possible estrogen dominance and I should be taking at least 100-200mg for mild symptoms.
I think I might of mentioned before that a bottle of PGe contains about 2800mg of progesterone, if I remember correctly, so you can figure out how much you'll get per bottle and order accordingly. Even though I just glob a thick bead along my gum line about 5x a day, I got good at guesstimating it and always go through about a bottle a week. I just placed my PGe order with Kenogen this afternoon. I ordered 4 bottles that will last me all of August.Peat's_Girl said:With PGe being 4-22mg per drop I didn't get enough on the lower spectrum.
So, I decided, on the safe side to take 25 drops per day!!! That's 5 drops 5 drops a day. And 100mg-550mg per day!
Dosage is important to me because just putting globs on my gums doesn't tell me how much I'm getting and how I'd react with less/ more.
Jennifer said:Thyroid helps too so you probably wouldn't need as much PGe, but I don't feel safe recommending you take all these hormones without having some basic blood work done on your hormones/thyroid panel, you know?
Jennifer said:My body is literally changing in so many ways, I sometimes feel like a girl going through puberty for the first time. It would be nice to know what's normal since I don't have much of a reference point.

The first sign to me would be your periods. From the time you first started menstruating, were they regular and without much PMS symptoms or were they irregular and/or heavy/clotting and with major PMS symptoms or even non-existent all together at some point? I already know the answer, just wanted to plant that reminder seed. :)Peat's_Girl said:Oops. I already take T3! But I only managed to get that calm, subdued feeling with a mega-dose of PGe. I guess I never thought I had that much estrogen in my body. I'm fairly young, and I figured I ate moderately well through the years (avoiding most PUFAs even during my Paleo days, except those evil fish oils!)
It depends on what teenage girl body you're referring to. Do you mean the perfect post puberty young woman body or the skinny boy teenage girl body? I'm talking about the young woman's body with curves. Granted mine will never be mountains. More like gentle rolling hills. I don't think progest-e works that kind of miracle. Hehe!Peat's_Girl said:Does this come with that perfect teenage girl body? Y_Y Where is the dotted line?
Not to be vague, but you're going to have to listen to your body on this one. The biggest telltale signs for me are a loss of my menstrual cycle and not my libido, but that bodily reaction we talked about. I lose it completely. I'll still have an interest in sex probably because it's also an act of bonding, affection and love to me, but basically I'm not as easily aroused and I lose that bodily reaction. So for me, I can't go by my interest in sex, but that intense arousal as this always indicated my progesterone levels were up and my blood tests always confirmed this. Also, note your moods day to day and any PMS symptoms when you start menstruating.Peat's_Girl said:Yeah, I stopped caring about rationing... But I also thought that since the progesterone stays in your cells you can gradually decrease it after the first week of megadosing.
I was thinking of doing 10 days of 5x5, then the next week 4x5, and slowly reduce to one dose a day.
What do you think? How gradually would I have to decrease and how can you tell if you're going too low?

Jennifer said:Sorry if that was vulgar!
Jennifer said:Oops...was typing my response and missed your last post.
YAY for the spotting! That's great!
I'm glad you're enjoying the juice. If you can't get good fruit and like canned, go for the canned fruit! I love canned pears and mandarins. I may pick some up and give them a shot.
Are you having any PMS symptoms? You could always adjust your PGe dose to that.
I was 14 too! *high five* My blood sister!Peat's_Girl said:Plant away, but for my numerous readers, I'll answer the question. When I was around 14-15 and I got my period it was regular and I had no pain or PMS symptoms whatsoever.
Oh, man! Should I have been more descriptive? I can be more descriptive! Anything to keep your targeted audience happy. What is your targeted audience? The shy, silent types, right? Hmm...this could be awkward! :PPeat's_Girl said:*Looking around*
I don't think anyone noticed! ;P
Do you want me to sync mine to yours or do you want to sync yours to mine? Answer carefully or we'll be creating a shortage in feminine care products. Okay, now did I say too much? Hehe!Peat's_Girl said:OMG! I just wrote an email asking you if you tried canned fruit and that you should! We're just crazy synced! Now all that's left is to sync our periods and we're good to go... -_-

Well let's see. If you bleed 3 weeks out of a month and I bleed 2, we're bound to sync up somehow!Jennifer said:Do you want me to sync mine to yours or do you want to sync yours to mine?
How do you make yours?Jennifer said:So pudding, huh? That's what I've been craving. I like adding whipped cream and mixing it up into a mousse. I could live off that stuff!
Jennifer said:By the way, Spot's the dog. When you see Spot run, then you know you're getting somewhere.
javacody said:I'm glad you're feeling better.
javacody said:I suggested canned and cooked fruit to you like a month ago. You are hard headed, aren't you?
javacody said:I'm willing to bet you $1 Canadian that your digestive tract is what is causing your high estrogen. And now that you've admitted to inhaling pufas like a college student inhales bong smoke, I think we can understand why you are having problems.
You mean broke as in poor or broke as in emotionally/ physically broken down? 'Cause yes to both. ;cjavacody said:But I'm not judging. Because I've been there. I still go there at times. It ain't easy once you're broke down. And most people who ain't broke down just don't f***ing get it, do they?
javacody said:f*** them. And the horse they rode in on.
javacody said:I'm paying attention to this. You are helping me. My daughter has many of these symptoms and once you figure it out, I have an idea what to try with her.
javacody said:You're going to get cravings. You're going to want things. Restricting too much will only hurt you in the long run. Let your hair down. Eat some Bugles. Eat some ice cream. Drink some coke. Be happy. Cuss like a sailor. Have orgasms. Enjoy the little things!
