Some of the creams say to only use 3 weeks out of a month, is that the case with the BiEstro-Care?

That is usually the way you use these creams. Christine Northrup's book recommends it I believe. The book has been out awhile so you could check your local library.

I just received this today. There is nothing in the directions about using only 3 weeks out of the month.

According to my endocrine doc, once a woman's levels of FSH go up and she is in true menopause, the estrogen and progesterone can be used daily, without breaks. The amounts in the blood should be monitored every six months or so once they are become stable. More frequent blood tests are needed at first to mark what feels best for you, individually. If you are in perimenopause, you should skip using the estrogen and progesterone one week each month. From what I understand, it is much more important to have enough progesterone in your system. The body becomes more sensitive to the estrogen already there if you have adequate amounts of progesterone. And it's a bad thing to become estrogen dominant. Very unhealthy, even dangerous.

Many along with myself see no reason to stop for 5 days. When you are taking birth control you stop for 5 days ...but during menopause it is not logical.

I use this 3 X a week along with the eye cream.......them I use my own brand the other times. This was the advise I was given in Vegas....

They are made to last through 3 months of your cycle if you keep re-using the same ones. I use them longer than this, but I am also going through menopause so my menses is lighter and occurs less frequently.

In my experience, the cream lasts twice as long (for me, the cream could last 7+ days and this is 3 days max when I'm at all active). BUT it's definitely less messy since this is a roll-on (and if you use the cream then you know the mess that can be associated with it). I used the cream for 4 years, just started this about 2 months ago. I like this more for ease of use, but have to remember more frequently to put it on. In the long run I'm still undecided on which way to go, so I'm interested to see what others say!

Hi Jessica, The cream lasts a good month, maybe more depending on how heavily you use it. I tend to use this product in the winter (I live in the north east). Hot weather finds this product too heavy even on my over 50 face. This is a very rich cream. A wonderful product.

It is meant to be used for only 14 days of the month for medical reasons. Women naturally increase their level of progesterone 14 days of the month when they are menstruating. So women who are in menopause have to follow the same regimen. There could be side effects to using it everyday - I'd recommend asking the manufacturer. I use my progesterone and estriol creams on the 1st through the 14th of every month, and then just the estriol cream on the 15th to the last day of the month. I apply the estriol every morning and the progesterone at night (on days 1-14). Progesterone can help you sleep. Been using the products for almost one year and am seeing good results.

each month has a different combination.that's why they want you to change each month. So other than just a different combination. My husband would use 1 month for up to 2 months sometimes and then switch.

The product does take time to work, which is why I chose to do the 3 month package. I'm taking the risk of going beyond the 60 day money back guarantee. The cream works different for everyone, so if you don't see results within 3 weeks which is when they say you should start seeing some change, to send it back. I started about 2 weeks ago and I'm now an inch bigger then what I was however I have smaller breast and the change is more noticeable. Hope this helped!

No, it's just about 3 weeks if you take it daily. But if you take breaks one day a week than it should

I ordered a fair-sized container around 3 months ago. I used it topically for about a month and a half on seborrheic keratoses, then took a break. I had good results, but when I went to use some of it again about a week ago, it seemed to have lost some of it's oomph. I will be ordering more, bur plan this time to order a smaller quantity. For my purpose, a little lasts a long time, and I don't think it keeps well long-term... just my experience. Also, beware of storing it in the dropper bottle. The little I had left was in a dropper bottle. Just a few days ago, the rubber bulb swelled up and actually burst!! I ordered a fair-sized container around 3 months ago.

I'm on to the third month and it seems like there's still plenty in the tube. Also, I only use it in the morning so that makes a difference.

I have several tubes with varying expiration dates, I expect due to when they were manufactured. I pay no attention to them--the lotion is still very effective long after the so-called "expiration" date.

I used it within the month plus. It is extremely good product. My daughter would use a bottle in 2 months. It corrected my peri-menopausal symptoms (all) within 5 cycles.

Thank you for your question! Yes, it's supposed to use once a month in order to remove proteins.

I'm sure you can. I am menopausal. So I tried it and I like to use both. I did use Pro cream alone for quite awhile. I find most of my specific answers to questions by continuing to search through the product reviews. I use Pro and Estro a.m. and just Pro p.m. If skip Pro, I will flash and loose sleep. Both tubes last about two months. When it runs out I cut open tubes and get it all.

They want you to use it in one month, it's more than enough. I used it 3 mos no results at all.

Yes. The product should be used as directed which is usually twice a day and you should see results three to six weeks.
