I researched elevated estrogen on the internet and discovered Serenity progesterone cream and how it would balance the estrogen.

After about three weeks of using the cream I could feel an improvement in how I was feeling. Another TSH test a few months later showed my level had gone down to 1.9 and I had lost nearly 14 lbs in weight.

Eventually I was diagnosed as having hypothyroidism by a metabolic specialist Dr Barry Durrant Peatfield who explained the endocrine system and how elevated estrogen – estrogen dominance – can interfere with the thyroid hormone uptake. I now take thyroid medication. He also writes about the benefits of progesterone cream in his book ‘Your thyroid and how to keep it healthy’.

I use the cream every day as directed with five days a month not using it.

I am now 73 and have used Serenity progesterone cream for nearly 15 years. Compared to my friends, I sailed through my menopause, with no symptoms!

I am a member of a hypothyroidism Facebook and, because of my good experience with using Serenity progesterone cream, I advise women members to get their estrogen and progesterone levels checked as so many hypothyroid women are estrogen dominant. I suggest they research the Serenity progesterone website as it contains a lot of essential information. I also mention that progestogen and progestin are not the same thing as progesterone. And a pill is not as good as topical cream.

I recommend Serenity progesterone cream as, from my experience and research, it is the best there is and is certainly essential for women with hypothyroidism.

Keep safe, keep well.

Best wishes
