Many women appreciate our natural progesterone cream because it's not another
pill they have to take.
Emerita Pro-Gest cream is easy to use. To apply, just massage
a ¼ teaspoon into your skin twice a day as recommended on the package.
Apply it to your inner arms, inner thighs, abdomen, or chest, rotating the areas
where applied. It absorbs quickly through the skin, and you're on your way back
to a natural balance. Pro-Gest is best used according to your menstrual status.
The following are general recommendations that should be confirmed or modified
in concert with your health care provider.
Women in their reproductive years:
Pro-Gest is best used during the second half of your menstrual cycle, for the
two weeks prior to menstruation.
Days 1 (first day of bleeding) -14: do not use Pro-Gest.
Days 15 - 21: use ¼ teaspoon twice a day.
Days 22-28: use ¼ to ½ teaspoon of Pro-Gest twice a day.
The suggested use is based on a 28-day cycle. If your cycle is shorter or longer
you may need to adjust the timing of use, earlier or later than day 14, to fit
with ovulation. If your period begins early, STOP using the Pro-Gest® while
you are bleeding. Count the first day of bleeding as day one, and begin the
cycle again.
Women in perimenopause (still menstruating, with cycle changes):
Days 1 (first day of bleeding) - 7: do not use Pro-Gest.
Days 8-21: use ¼ teaspoon of Pro-Gest twice a day.
Days 22-28: use ¼ to ½ teaspoon of Pro-Gest twice a day.
If your period begins early, STOP using the Pro-Gest while you are bleeding.
Count the first day of bleeding as day one, and begin the cycle again. If your
period is late, use the cream for up to 3 weeks (day 28 of your cycle), then
take a week off. If your period has not started by the end of the week off,
resume use of the cream as described above for days 8-28 or until your period
starts. STOP the cream when your period begins. Count the first day of bleeding
as day one of your cycle, and begin the cycle over again.
Women in menopause or who are post-menopausal (no longer menstruating):
Choose a calendar day (e.g. first day of the month) as day one.
Days 1-7: do not use Pro-Gest.
Days 8-30 (or 31): use 1/8 to ¼ teaspoon of Pro-Gest twice a day.
If needed, you may use up to ½ teaspoon of Pro-Gest twice a day according
to the same schedule.
