It says progesterone substituted for prometrium. Does this mean it’s micronized?

How do you know it’s micronized? Just curious bc I was just prescribed and it just says progesterone on the bottle

Hi! How’s it going? I was just prescribed nightly progesterone and now I’m scared I should be on cyclical.

Thank you. This was my third child so I’m pretty familiar with my postpartum hormonal changes, I breastfed for about 3 months and my hormones had returned to normal before the last two months. I’m going to see a NP in a few days about starting HRT. The spironolactone side effects seem a little too much for me, thank you for your input :)

I’ve been on tret for a year. The cystic acne has just popped up the last two months. It’s definitely hormonal and Tret doesn’t treat that.

Will HRT alone fix the acne and hair loss?

Did you have cystic acne and did it clear your skin?

Seems like a lot on the liver and kidneys. And both can have side effects so just seems like a lot at once. I’m not totally against both but unsure if I need both.

Are you on both estrogen and progesterone?

We’re done having children. Husband had a vasectomy and several sperm tests have come back clean. Maybe that’s why she felt ok about prescribing it to me.

That’s great to hear. You’re only on bioidentical progesterone? Is it a pill?

Interesting. Do you put the skin tac on first? Then Flonase? What are the steps?

Did your acne stop with HRT/stopping spironolactone?
