I have told a few people (only those who would believe me) that I feel a lot better if I use only natural products on my skin and in the environment. I think I may have found a scientific explanation for that! I noticed since starting the progesterone cream I've been having some bloating and increase in headaches; several websites said that may show the presence of xenoestrogens.

"Xeno literally means foreign, therefore xenoestrogens means foreign estrogens. Some of the 70,000 registered chemicals for use in the United States have hormonal effects in addition to toxic effects. The synergistic effects of exposure to many xenoestrogens are well documented, but largely unknown. These substances can increase the estrogen load in the body over time, and are difficult to detoxify through the liver. This further compounds the problem of estrogen dominance."

As of day 2 of a migraine that wouldn't leave, I was ready to abandon my progesterone cream treatment :( I went to research side effects thinking it was some weird reaction to the cream. Come to find out, it is ironically showing it is working but I need to cleanse some of the other xenoestrogens out of my body somehow. I already have estrogen dominance so I have to figure out how to decrease that!
