Provera is synthetic.
I use progestrone cream, which despite the name is not really natural (it's made in a lab) but bio-identical.
I have had very good results in using it for PCOS, including weight loss, less hair, depression and mood swings greatly improved, no cysts on ovaries, thinner endometrium, normal periods, and I was precancerous and threatened with a hysterectomy, and now I am fine. My skin looks great too, and everyone says I look ten years younger.
It doesn't work overnight, and at first I felt worse, but I had gradual improvement. Have been on it for 18 months.Is provera a synthetic form of progesterone? and if so is the natural substitute progesterone cream?
I don't know about it treating PCOS - my fertility doc gives it to me to make me have a period. I take glucophage to treat the PCOS - actually it only gets rid of the cysts. I'm curious now.
Yes, provera is a synthetic (and not bioidentical) progesterone, which means it does not perfectly mimic the chemical structure of the progesterone your body makes -- which accounts for the side effects.
Natural progesterone cream is used to balance hormones in some conditions, but I'm not familiar with the treatments for pcos although it is a pretty common disorder.
