Recently at the Young Living Convention in Salt Lake City, 600 women had their progesterone levels checked. Of that, only 3 had any significant level of progesterone – 2 were pregnant (which means if they didn’t have progesterone they wouldn’t be pregnant any longer). This statistic is SCARY and ALARMING!!! Not only is progesterone necessary for PRO-GESTATION of a baby, it is necessary for a healthy sex drive, keeping PMS and migraines at bay, and optimal mental health. Progesterone acts as an antagonist for GABA receptors in the body – which help us feel calm and get good sleep at night. No progesterone can = anxiety and restlessness. Therefore, it can be a powerful part of anxiety therapy!
But what’s the best way to get progesterone? Many professionals are using bio-identical forms of it in their practice. This means it’s the same as human progesterone – not synthetic like pharmaceutical drugs. The theory is the body will identify and use it much more efficiently without the possible side effects of a foreign and synthetic medication.
I used bio-identical progesterone for a few years, both topical and oral. It seemed to help the anxiety and PMS problems. But recently I started using a special new form of progesterone that is micronized (made into very small particles). This allows it to pass through the skin easily. This is all good and well but it’s still tough to get it to absorb. So, with Dan Purser MD’s help – Young Living formulated a serum that has the micronized progesterone in a suspension of vitamin E and essential oils. They oils are PROVEN to increase the absorption; therefore it’s not wasted just sitting on top of your skin.
Since I have started using Progessence Plus Serum in June, I have noticed a significant reduction in PMS (tender breasts, cramping, irritability, blood sugar swings). I just use a few drops on my neck in the morning and evening. When the cramps are bad I apply over my abdomen as much as I need to in order for them to stop (usually once and they’re gone in 30 minutes). I also apply to my breasts when I get the super PMS soreness affect. HELPS BIGTIME!
Because there are so many questions on how to use micronized bio-identical progesterone via Progessence Plus Serum from Young Living, I have posted Dr. Pursers FAQ’s HERE for you. Download and enjoy!!!!

Hi jen,
I have been trying to replace my progesterone pills …Premetrium with the serum. Have been switching of every other night. I am not sure if this is the right way to do it. I want to get off the prescriptions completely. I use 4 drops on my neck before bed and 2 drops on forearm in AM . The nites I use the serum I do not sleep as well. I also use 1/3 of a estrogen patch every 4 days. It is hard to tell which is giving me hot flashes which I still have occasionally.confused,

Sue,
I can’t give you medical advice but I’ll share what I’d do. If I were on medication for hormones, I would decrease them as I introduced the serum. Over time I’d keep using the serum and get tested to know where my levels were. Meanwhile I would taper off the medication. If I had low estrogen, I would introduce Femigen 🙂 I have also heard Endogize is great for hot flashes!

Hello, I am 37 but my ovaries are much old older than me and the doctor said I will probably have pre-menopause in the near future. I have been trying to get pregnant for 5 years now, I even went through 5 infertility treatments…without success. My FSH is very high. Will this product help me, and if it does, how can I purchase it? I live in Spain.
Thank you so much.
It’s hard to say if progesterone will help unless you know if your levels are low. Have you had a full hormone panel?
From what I’ve seen in practice, strengthening the adrenals & balancing the blood sugar does wonders for fertility 🙂
We can ship to you in Spain from our Europe office.
