Newly Opened Pump Dispenser Doesn't Work, Need to Use NatPro Everday

by Christina
(Miami, FL)

Hello, I am 51 and this site is wonderful, thanks so very much to the Wray and the supporters. I've found answers to several of my questions since I found the site in 2019, by looking through the content and various forum replies. Today is July 25, 2021.

However, I have a new issue today that just occurred, so I am writing here because I have written to the email address "storecontact@organicproducts-llc.com" twice last year, as well as just yesterday, and I never receive(d) any reply back. I wrote in Oct and Dec 2020 asking when inventory would possibly return as well as sharing that I tried 2-3 times to sign up for an account and the newsletter, separately, but with no success. The email inquiry yesterday was about a quantity variation for the NatPro Pump Dispenser versus Cream Tube, but I found a forum reply answer for that.

Today, my new issue is that I went to open my 2nd of two NatPro Pump Dispensers purchased last fall and it didn't work, though the 1st one worked perfectly (luckily I just kept checking the site to see when inventory would be available again, since I didn't receive a reply to my email asking about it). No cream would release and only air pumped out. I tried everything including squeezing the bottle thinking there may be an air bubble. By squeezing I managed to get out about the quantity of a 50 mg pump for this morning's dose. But as I have started doing 150 mg/day in order to get up to 200 mg/day soon since I have oestrogen dominance, I will not have a way to dose tonight and forward if the dispenser does not work.

Previously I was only dosing about 50 mg twice a day from about cycle day 13-15 until I started bleeding. However, in reading the forum and site content more thoroughly recently, I see that if my cycle is not regular anymore (since last Dec 2020 it can be in the 20s, 30s, or 40s of days before I bleed) I should be dosing with NatPro everyday. And as I haven't done that for the last few months, it likely made my oestrogen dominance worse than it's been in years (serum levels on day 9 taken this month were at 195 pg/ml, and progesterone <.5 ng/ml, but will be taking saliva test soon). Since I am on day 17 since my last bleed I decided to start dosing everyday now as recommended.

To note, given the rhythm of half month luteal dosing that I was doing, last evening I only just finished my 1st of the two NatPro dispensers I bought last fall. After finishing a 20 mg bioidentical progesterone cream from a compounding pharmacy, I only started that 1st of the two dispensers this last Apr 2021.

Also, when I received my two Natpro dispensers last fall, there was no paperwork/instructions with them that is communicated will be included with every purchase.

Of the many forum posts I spent many hours reading recently, I saw that someone had trouble with their pump not working and I think the reply was surprise that a customer's email was not received but there was a recommendation that I don't recall since when I read that post I didn't have the dispenser problem. And since there is no way to search the forum posts I can't find that recommendation.

Is there a way to open the dispenser? Is the tube a safer bet going forward? Please help!!! Thank you!!!

Hello Christina love,

Sorry your emails have not been received!

There is a simple way to solve the dispenser issue, turn it on its head and give it a hard knock, this should help release the air bubble.

If you also see at the base of the dispenser there is a small hole, you can use a paper clip end and insert it in there and push the base plate of the pump up once you've given it a knock!

Please let us know how you get along? If you are still having problems we will send a replacement.

Warm wishes,
Justine

 ​Newly Opened Pump Dispenser Doesn't Work, Need to Use NatPro Everyday

Hi Christina

Thank you for your kind words and for trusting the information given. This website is a 'library' full of the correct information. It's good that you posted this here as it will help others who may experience the same problem.

I totally agree with you using progesterone every day, you are in Peri-Menopause, it is most definitely needed now.

Just looking at the last tests that you had, your progesterone:estrogen ratio is 3:1 it should be 600:1. You definitely need a lot more progesterone. Please read the Hormone Testing page for more information on this.

Please follow Justine's advice which should sort the issue out​ regarding your dispenser. ​ What happens is that an airlock forms in some of the dispensers, by following Justine's instruction it should clear the airlock. Please let us know how you get on.
​​

Take care.
