What can I do if I feel worse when taking a break from dosing Progesterone?Updated 2 months ago

Some customers will come to us during the break of Progesterone dosing feeling worse, or as bad as they did when they started taking it.

In some cases, we need to use progesterone for more than just 2 weeks of one's cycle or 21 days for menopausal/post-menopausal women. 

For example, in cases where symptoms drastically worsen when one stops using the progesterone. In these cases we can start on day 7 of one's menstrual cycle and continue through day 28 if one is premenopausal

With that being said, this can prevent ovulation in some cases. So, it should not be done for anyone looking to conceive. 

Menopausal/Post-Menopausal women can also decrease the break time. However, we recommend a 3 day break if possible at a minimum.


For more information on this topic, we recommend taking a good luck at our Progesterone Dosing Guide
