Sara's post:  I've been asked by a mother whether beginning progesteron
(sorry, she didn't stipulate which type, ie. pils or implants) early
postpartum to prevent ppd.

Sara, my suggestion would be to use progesterone cream (1/8 tsp. a day or
less).  Merely apply it to the skin, such as on the inner thigh.  I have read
that this works for PMS as well....I've got to get some!  I've been vowing to
try it!  Anyways, I believe the absorption and distribution from the skin
surface has less tendency to affect the baby's brain.
