❤️ USING PROGESTERONE ❤️

Progesterone is needed as part of HRT for those who still have their womb to protect the lining against thickening and issues when using oestrogen. Most people don't experience issues with progesterone, but some do. The preferred options are body-identical micronised progesterone (like Utrogestan, or Prometrium in the USA) or the Mirena coil. If these cause issues, then other types of progesterone can be used, or it can be given vaginally. In a few cases, it may be used in reduced doses with added monitoring to make sure of a healthy womb. HRT often needs adjustments to suit each person, with timely reviews properly carried out to ensure symptom control and appropriate doses.
