Now tired, low libido and starting to but on weight.  Sr checked my thyroid and watching every 3 months, still normal at this point.  Friend recommended Progesterone cream. Taking it a week but woke yesterday nausea, and headache? Is that from maybe to much Progesterone??

I can relate. I also had a hysterectomy and it has caused a laundry list of nasty side effects. It's possible your ovaries are failing since that happens about 40% of the time due to the loss of blood flow and feedback loop with the uterus. Estrogen may help.

HI,
Your symptoms can be due to lack of hormones and this can be relieved by HRT or hormone replacement therapy. However for this you need to consult your Doctor. Also a healthy diet and regular exercise will help keep weight in control and also help with the tiredness. Supplements of multi-vitamins can be taken. Hope this helps.
