Just took my first dose of Progest E. How do you dose it since it doesn't come with a dropper. I took 3 small drops but have no idea whether it was enough or not. I don't have any acute symptoms, just perimenopause and light periods with spotting and other annoying symptoms so I have no idea how to immediately assess if it's sufficient unlike someone who uses it for migraine as an example.
I just rubbed it on my gums and I hate it, the sticky icky feeling and taste. It nearly caused a panic attack for me as I felt like my throat was irritated from it. Any suggestions?
I just finished reading "what ..... premenopause " by Dr. Lee and as everyone probably knows he recommends topical application. From reading on the forum I understand that transdermal application has very little absorbency. However Dr.Lee states that the advantage of topical application assures slower delivery and sustained level over many hours as opposed to oral application where it peaks after 1,5 h. Should this be of concern? Is there a need for slow sustained delivery as opposed to rapid delivery? Logically I feel as though acute symptoms require rapid delivery however for long term users wouldn't slow and steady be a better option? Is this even doable? And when Dr. Lee recommends topical delivery of 20 mg per day and if the absorption rate is greatly reduced, do women actually get all 20 mg?
