Progesterone

Women's health

My nurse who works with my doctor ordered my progesterone pill. I am going to take 50mgs at bedtime to help my symptoms. 

May I ask you ladies this how much progesterone are you ladies on because I know that the recomended amount is 200mgs isn't that way to much. Maybe you guys should start with lower dosages of progesterone like 50mgs so you don't have the side effects. 

Let me know will 50mgs help me.

Susan,

I take 100 mg of Prometrium and don't have any side effects at all. Not sure there is a one size fits all dose, so the doctors usually prescribe it how they feel it best suits the patient.

Glad to hear you were able to get your pills, that has to make you feel much better knowing you are on your way to feeling better. I take mine about an hour before bedtime and sleep very sound.  Enjoy a good night's rest tonight!

Hi Susan,

I'm Teresa from the other discussion.

I'm on 100mg for 12 days a month from day 15 of the cycle. I als take estradiol 3 weeks a month. So they overlap for about a week.

Occasionally If I have insomnia I take 2 progesterone caps (2x100mg= 200mg) at bedtime. 

If you're going to take progesterone everyday (are you?) and/or if you're not taking oestrogen the 50mg progesterone/ day may be enough. You'll have to try and see.

I am not taking oestrogen just the progesterone to help relieve my symptoms of anxieties and help me sleep 

I also take ativan too so I am just sticking to the 50mgs at bedtime no more than that

Trust me Susan, you will sleep like a baby and after time you will all of the sudden notice you are less anxious. It's a subtle change so don't get discouraged if you don't notice it tomorrow or next week or so......it's subtle and nice. Peaceful dreams dear. 🙏

Prometruim in the UK goes by the brand name of Utrogestan. In Portugal where I now m it's the same and Progefikk (French brand). They are all the same I reckon.

I do feel a little bit calmer and I did sleep better last night. 

I am going to spread my ativan apart too and not take that as close together. 

Thank you

This morning I feel a little calmer not as agitated and I slept better than Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. 

Thank you. I will let you know how it works with my anxieties too in a couple of days

They should be the same its just made from a different company

So glad it's helping you Susan. It's probably what you need at this time. Nothing like a good night's rest is there?
