Hi Ruhamah,
I just read for the first time the other night about yeast loving progesterone but it really has me wondering...... first, your body naturally produces progesterone in good amuonts about 15 days out of the month. Since God didn't create mistakes, my thinking is that the more unnatural the progesterone, the more likely the yeast will like it. I have no evidence for this, it just makes sense to me. I've been using bio-identical progesterone cream for years and haven't had any trouble with yeast liking it (okay, at least that I know of). If I touch sugar or anything white, then I have trouble. I'm a fairly yeasty person and was long before I tried the bio stuff. Anyway, something to think about. What type of progesterone were you using?
I wonder about your adrenals with having had the adenoma... do you feel like you have adrenal insufficiency? If you get a saliva test done they can check your cortisol levels throughout a 24hr period and let you know if your adrenals are lacking. I'm guessing they are since you've had part of your pit removed. If you get that checked and you're low, one thing you might consider is Isocort. It is a natural form of cortisol but definately as effective as cortef without the horrendous side effects. Food for thought.......
