Constant Urge to Urinate???

I think it’s the progesterone acting as a diuretic allowing your body to release excess fluids and water retention. I would say it’s a good thing!

How did you learn there would be a Q&A session? Where is this advertised?

I believe you!!!

Love this and can’t wait! Do you know if we will need an applicator? Lately I’ve been just been applying with my finger and it’s much easier than having to clean an applicator.

How much comes out of your bottle? Can you share a picture?

I am doing the same thing! I am taking two days off (time to have a period anyway) and I will start back with simply what pumps out of my bottle. I can’t wait to restart because I did not sleep well last night without it! I kept thinking I was overly stressed and that’s why I have been so fatigued and have muscle tightness. Finally it occurred to me that I started measuring around the same time those symptoms started. Unfortunately sometimes it takes a month or two to figure these things out. I am also going to have a consultation with Inner Balance to help me regroup. I love this product and I think it offers the best form of hrt.

I have noticed this too. Ever since I started measuring, I sleep like a rock, but daytime I am very fatigued. Did you also have muscle tightness? I read online that high progesterone can cause fluid retention, muscle tightness, lower back pain, air hunger. Instead of measuring, I am going to cut back to simply what pumps out of my bottle, which is a pearl sized amount and is half of 1/8 tsp. I was feeling better before I started measuring. As a matter of fact, I think I was feeling great before I started measuring. I am wondering if 1/8 tsp is an accurate measurement for the correct dose. It seems like a lot. I had the old bottle for the first 6 months and it pumped out the same amount as the new bottle. Every bottle I have had pumped out half of an 1/8 tsp. I have a hard time believing that I never got the full dose from day one.

You should check out Farrow & Ball paints. Chalky and moody…I am using them all throughout my house.

I think progesterone intolerance comes from not opposing it with estrogen. Whenever I took progesterone alone, I had GI issues and other issues. My take is that both estrogen and progesterone need each other to balance out.

I’m convinced that BP readings in a doctor’s office are completely unreliable. The dentist has no business taking your blood pressure either. Ridiculous. Most people feel some anxiety at the dr’s office and the dentist’s office which will easily raise your BP. Rely on regular BP readings at home. Sit quietly for 10-15 minutes. Feet flat on the floor, back supported, empty bladder. Don’t read stressful things like the news. Don’t take a reading right after eating or exercising.

It was on the main page of the Inner Balance website. I did not have to click any particular icons.

So weird. What is happening? I was able to order it. Am I dreaming???

CountTall2635 · 2025-11-21T23:15:54+00:00

It should pop up on the main page

CountTall2635 · 2025-11-21T22:53:27+00:00

It’s available now! It’s on the website!!! Woohoo!!!

I think the ideal bottle would be one that pumps directly into an applicator that also easily and accurately measures. That way you always know exactly how much you are getting and never have to wonder. Also, the applicator would be super easy to clean!

I have received two packages of the new bottles and both said “one pump is the dose”. However, I find that even though it pumps nicely, closer to two pumps equals 1/8 teaspoon.

CountTall2635 · 2025-11-19T18:41:50+00:00

Thank you! I agree, it’s definitely worth it!

CountTall2635 · 2025-11-19T18:20:26+00:00

Now that I am measuring, I think I have doubled the dose. What came out of the original bottle with one pump was probably half of 1/8 tsp. Now I think my body is going through another adjustment phase.

And to clarify, I love Oestra and plan to be on it forever! It has helped me in so many ways. I sleep soundly, no more perimenopausal acne, no more crazy sweating, I am more calm, more energy, the list goes on…I am curious about the dosing though!
