I stopped the Omega Balance for two days to see if it was doing me any good . YIKES. It was doing A LOT of good. It really helps keep down inflamation and pain - I didn't know how much before taking a 2 day break.

I also got some wild yam progesterone cream yesterday and am going to give it a week or two trial. After reading SC's post, and thinking about my symptoms, I believe I do have high estrogen levels, and maybe the progestrone will help.

Sitting in hard chairs, keeping my toes turned in when I walk, sit, lay down, is also helping. Just taking it slow and easy.

My weight gain slowed down considerably this month, and I'm not sure why??? I'm not doing anything different. I have gotten more sunshine, but not more exercise. Come to think of it, sunshine lowers estrogen levels...

Thanks for caring!

I had bad ligament problems with my last pregnancy, and I am only a couple of weeks into this one, and I can already feel my knee and hip ligaments loosening. I was wondering if the progesterone cream helped you. I used to take progesterone cream before I was married to help with severe PMS, so I think I tend to be heavy on the estrogen, too.

I will have to second the Omega Balance. I took Beka's advice and tried it out. I took 3 softgels, 3-4 times a day in the beginning. After 4 days I noticed the difference. I continued taking that amount for another week to 10 days and then backed off to 2 softgels 3 times a day. I did have to stop taking them to see for myself if it mattered, and boy did I pay for it. Baby was born 8 months ago and I still take the Omega Balance. When I get busy and forget to take them my body reminds me after a few days. My planter facitis in my foot has healed, until I go with out the O. B. for a few days then my foot hurts again. I still did the hip swing that she suggested and went to my Chiro monthly, but the Omega made the big difference! Grin

Yes, I forgot to mention that I took a product similar to the Omega Balance during my last pregnancy and it helped quite a bit, but not enough to help with the severe pain of getting out of bed or walking (due to loose ligaments in the pelvic area). I go to the Chiropractor 2x/month, too.... so I was hoping there were other options out there, too.
