Triest Progesterone Side Effects

please tell me the side affects of taking proge triest thank you ## Hello, Bunny! How are you? Progesterone is a hormone, so it tends to wake up the estrogen receptors in your body, when you start taking it and that could cause you to experience side effects, such as nausea, headache, weight gain, fluid retention, menstrual spotting and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with? ## My mom recently went off triest because of the cancer causing agent. She was on it for 20 yrs and switched to biest. Her body is responding in very negative ways (she is having a significantly lower heart rate, ear ringing and weakness). Is this something that dhea can help with temporarily?

I have noticed hair loss when shampooing hair. I was taking a pill c-triest.progesterone 2mg/100mg. Took for 6 months and got off of it for 3 months, Started taking again in January. Could any of this cause hair loss? ## Hello, Lily! How are you? Yes, the estrogens can cause hair loss, especially if they are the dominant hormone. That's actually why many women in perimenopause and menopause experience hair loss, when you don't ovulate each month, or stop ovulating, you don't produce as much progesterone, but you are always inundated with estrogens. You may want to speak to your doctor about making some dosage adjustments, such as raising the progesterone and/or lowering the estrogens. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thanks for your help.

Some information that I've gathered regarding whether or not this is a natural product, states the following: "Natural Progesterone is NOT prescription Progestin. Natural Progesterone is bioidentical to the hormones in your body. Prescription Progestins are chemically modified progesterones (Progestins) so as to be patented and thus can be sold as expensive patented drugs. Natural Progesterone cannot be patented because it is found in nature."
