Everyone is different. Some women require more natural progesterone cream to help alleviate symptoms, while other women can use less. The correct amount of cream for one woman is not necessarily the right amount for another. Day 1 is considered the first day of your menstrual flow. Although the time of ovulation varies from woman to woman, the time from ovulation to menstruation is generally 12-14 days.
Some women also experience lower abdominal pains during ovulation.
You will either have a 28 or 35 day cycle. In a 28 day cycle, ovulation usually occurs on Day 14. If you have a 35 day cycle, ovulation generally occurs around Day 21. However, this should only be a maximum of 3 weeks of using the cream. You do not need progesterone while menstruating and should stop using the cream when menstruation occurs or when you feel it is just starting.
