Progesterone
Posted , 2 users are following.
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.

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!

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.
