[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 572445, member: 2315"] Busywend, Most of us think progesterone is a harmone that only afects our menstral cycle. Nothing could be further from the truth. Progesterone influences many biological processes and more are being found as research continues. It is now being used to treat MS for its role in mylinazation of the nerves. When you have a hysterectomy your harmone levels go way down. This is true even if you keep your overies like I did. My doctor said that the surgery causes them to go into shock and they often shut down completly shortly thereafter. I always tested low on progesterone after my surgery but because of other issues and the risks involved with HRT I was not put on supplemental harmones. Honestly, I don't think any of my doctors thought it would make such a difference. I know I didn't. For me at least, it seems to be the missing piece. Thyroid medicine, which I have been on for a couple of years, helped but didn't do it all. I dread when they tell me it is time to stop taking the progesterone. I like what it has done for me. -RM [/QUOTE]
