Tried orally and Vaginally and still felt absolutely terrible. Now doctor is going to get a compound for me for vaginal. I hope it works because I started estrogen and I love the way it makes me feel.

My legs feel so heavy and I'm exhausted the day after progesterone. All I want to do is lay down

If you are taking estrogen, ACOG and the Menopause Society recommend progesterone for protection of the endometrium. Thank you for listing options for progesterone side effects as it’s important to consider the vital safety effects it provides.

So I take 100 mg of progesterone and magnesium glycogen. I will take it about 30 minutes before sleep. I don’t really notice anything from it but I am able to sleep most of the time. Should I feel something or does this mean I am at right dose?

Will 50 or 75mg be protective enough? Would you recommend doing those doses daily or cyclically?

PROGESTERONE question-i work early dayshift hours starting at 0430 but sometime have to go in earlier. Is it ok to take only on nights when I don’t work the next day or have to be in early?

I have a mirena and use topical estrogen gel. Can I also take a small dose of progesterone to take advantage of those benefits?

I’m 52 and was on OCPs until a Gyn switched me to the patch and oral progesterone. I hated it!!!! I gained weight, 20 lbs, was drowsy all day, got jawline acne, and was spotting!! Finally my PCP switched me back to my OCPs (Loryna)and I have my life back!!

I started at 200mg progesterone and was hungrier and so bloated! Then went to 100mg and now having spotting, bloated and breast tenderness and increased cup size. My estrogen is .25 would compound progesterone and will that reduce bloating and hunger? 😊 Thanks
