Oh yeah! Use it before bed. There are alot of good brands out there but I only have the experience with Natragest. Those hormones off balance will definitely give u insomnia, been there and still go through periods of it.

I started taking progesterone cream 2 years ago, went into menopause 16 months ago, and never had a single problem. I take a pearl sized amount AM and PM. If you apply it to your temples, it will help a headache. I put it there one night when I couldn't fall asleep (extra, on top of the usual dose) and went right to sleep. I love it.

allthings, what kind of cream do you use?

I use Emerita Pro-Gest upon recommendation of a doctor. I initially bought a more generic one, but found the progesterone content wasn't as strong. There are other good ones, but this one seems to work just fine for me. It's also less expensive if you go to a discount online vitamin store, than if you buy it off the shelf.
