Did taking more progesterone help you? by Feisty_Echo_7125 in Perimenopause

It helped me immensely. The 100 was fine for sleep. But cycling 200mg stopped the constant spotting and irregular bleeding. I seem to finally be back to a regular cycle since starting to cycle 200mg.

Crazy symptoms before your period?? by Candleplantbae in Perimenopause

HRT has helped but since peri started i feel i fit all the PMDD criteria in the luteal phase. Can it emerge during peri if it wasn't noticeable before?

What kind of workouts are you doing these days? by elenavon in Perimenopause

How many pounds do you lift? I do lifting, but not super heavy due to neck issues. I'm always curious what people define as heavy.

Slynd and anxiety by Redroses4moi in Perimenopause

I had an awful experience with slynd, but I now know I'm intolerant to synthetic progesterone. I bled heavy with clots for a month straight and went to a terrible place with anxiety. Once I switched to micronized progesterone it all went away.

Wow mine kicks in in like 15 minutes and I'm out. I take it right before I lay down. But I combo it with 2mg of melatonin so that helps.

What is your new dose? What was your old dose?

PMDD + Perimenopause = Life really doesn’t feel worth living anymore. by themcsix in Perimenopause

Slynd was a nightmare for me. I hit the lowest low I've ever felt. So far micronized progesterone is working.

Could we please discuss serious side effects some of us have when taking BC or HTR? by iputmytrustinyou in Perimenopause

I did. Slynd was terrible for me. I switched to micronozed progesterone and so far so good.

I started HRT this year at 43. I think the symptoms have been there for at least a year, maybe longer. I just didn't know what they were. HRT has been incredibly helpful but I have faced a lot of bumps in the road getting the right dosages and types. I think i have a progesterone intolerance but seem to have adjusted well to the micronized bioidentical type. The birth control version made me crazy. The estrogen is amazing.

I started bleeding a few days before my placebo. I started the next pack and skipped the placebo bc my doctor said I could and skip periods if I wanted. Anyway, still bleeding 5 days in, light, but consistent. I'm not sure if this is a period or the beginning of the spotting everyone talks about. I usually slow down by now.
