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. Carol Chamblin, RN, MS, IBCLC Breast 'N Baby Lactation Services, Inc.
