So, my questions. If you were me, would you take progesterone cream for a time, until the bleeding subsided assuming that the new diet will prevent future bleeding episodes? Even knowing the prog. cream might feed the yeasties? Is it possible I am bleeding now BECAUSE of my weight loss, if my fat cells are releasing stored estrogens that my body is trying to flush out? If that is the case would you wait a bit longer before using the cream? Would you start taking any of the supps again?

Thanks to all the posters on this thread! Especially SC, HB and Patti!

If it were *me* I would absolutely recommend using the progesterone cream to control bleeding and put your body back in hormonal balance.  I have NOT had the progesterone give me any issues with candida and I actually disagree with this train of thought.  It makes no sense.  It's like saying God gave us candida because he put progesterone in our bodies.  So long as you are only using enough progesterone to bring your body into normal range and not over doing it I cannot logically see (nor have I experienced) an overgrowth in candida.  

So for now, I would absolutely continue on your diet and use the progesterone.  If you can get a natural form of thryoid you would be better off.  One thing to remember is when one hormone level is off then the body starts taking from other hormone sectors in an attempt to balance out the body and what you end up with is being low in most of the hormones you need.  So by supplementing you are attempting to keep your body from stealing from other areas that need the hormones.  As you heal you won't need to supplement as much.  I am off thyroid hormones now and am taking less then 1/2 of the progesterone I started out on 5yrs ago.

Ok, Thank you for all that. I think I will order the progesterone cream- mostly because I am desperate for some relief! I am confused about the armour, is it pig or cow? I have heard both, but my ND says pig. Maybe I am confusing 2 different things?

ETA: I went to the Armour site and found this quote in their FAQ's:
Quote
First thyroid glands are collected from USDA-approved grain-fed pigs. The thyroids are processed, dried, powdered, and compounded to produce Armour Thyroid tablets. Since the amount of thyroid hormone present in the thyroid gland may vary from animal to animal, the T4 and T3 are measured in both the raw material and in the actual tablets. This ensures that Armour Thyroid tablets are the same from tablet to tablet.

So it is pig. Is their another that is cow? Or am I confusing thyroid meds with something else?  Roll Eyes

On the thyroid thread at the end of it (most recent posts) someone talks about not using Armour anymore as they've changed their formula.  She gave the name of another natural one that may or may not be cow.  You'll have to read up on it.  But it sounds like you might want to stay away from Armour now.  It's what I used but it has been many years so if the new reformulation that everyone is talking about is that bad you might want to avoid it.
