I've tried twice now to take high dose progesterone to stop my cycle for a time in an effort to treat endometriosis and migraines. Here is the endometriosis protocol recommended by CeMCOR: Endometriosis and Natural Progesterone It's 300 mg progesterone day and night.
Their migraine protocol is 300 mg progesterone per day with no breaks.
The first time I tried was with a high dose cream with very few additives and nothing that seemed problematic. I started having sore breasts and got the feeling of let-down, the same as when nursing, which I haven't had in 7 years. And it didn't have a positive effect on any other symptoms so I stopped.
I took a break for half a year then tried again with ingested progesterone. I felt amazing. It took away my mid cycle migraine and I had a little spotting but no other bleeding for my period and no migraine. Then my breasts started feeling very sore and hard fullness. I started getting bad hip pain while I slept. It was unbearable, I had to lower the progesterone dose, then I got my period and then a migraine. But no more pain in my hip or sore breasts (however my back hurts like heck due to menstruating and the endometriosis).
Has anyone else done very high dose progesterone successfully?
