I only take Provera for ten days every six months. I am sixty three and have taken Premarin for 25 years. I feel Provera is poison. But for ten days out of six mos it doesn't concern me. I take it in an attempt at sloughing off the uterine lining. I am heavily into alternative medicine, as a consumer, also. I"ve been successful and read a lot about it. I had a bad candida attack 3 days ago and spent day #1 in bed, very weak w/a stomach ache. I started taking grapefruit seed extract capsules every 5 hours. Today I feel terrific.
Yesterday, I was much better, up and around, but slightly tired. You can buy progesterone creams to rub on your wrist every day,I like the Emerita brand. I have no idea if the cream is as strong as provera but it's safe with no side effects.
