How do I use the cream for irregular periods? (or when in Perimenopause)?

When we are in Perimenopause and still having our periods but they are irregular, it can be difficult to time the use of progesterone.

Here are the directions for use if you have irregular periods:

If your periods are irregular during Perimenopause, start the Balance cream 10 to 12 days after the first day of the last menstrual period and continue for two weeks or until your period begins, whichever feels better. Sometimes your period may not start back up and so you can just simply take a break for a week to 10 days, and then start again.

This is our general guidance in using the product, Balance. If you are concerned with irregular periods, then you should talk to your practitioner to rule out any underlying conditions.

Why do we take a 5 day break a month or 1 day a week break from Balance cream?

If you are menopausal /postmenopausal and you're not having your period any longer, we recommend not using for one or two days per week or three to five days per month to take a break.The reason for this is so that we can avoid suppressing our body's own natural production of progesterone in this way. We want to support progesterone and optimize it, but not suppress it.

Each pump of the Balance cream provides approximately 20 mg of progesterone and 10 mg of pregnenolone.

What are the common side effects?

Why do some women get breakthrough bleeding while on Balance?

Sometimes breakthrough bleeding is part of the uterine lining rebalancing itself. Sometimes it's caused by the fact that we are addressing estrogen dominance and working to balance hormones. Often when starting any hormone cream, it can take two to three months to regulate.

Alternatively, sometimes it could be a stimulation of a uterine polyp and any irregular bleeding should be evaluated with a pelvic ultrasound/ vaginal ultrasound to ensure that there is not something within the endometrium lining of the uterus that is pathologic.

Please always consult with your doctor if you have any breakthrough or post menopausal bleeding and other concerns.

Can pregnant or breastfeeding women use it?

We do not recommend it for pregnant and breastfeeding women. We recommend it to those who are trying to conceive.
