PROGESTERONE & PERIMENOPAUSE
When Your Cycle Changes
During perimenopause, ovulation can become less predictable. Because progesterone is produced after ovulation, progesterone production can become less consistent too.
You May Notice
You can still be having periods while these hormone changes are happening.


PROGESTERONE + ESTROGEN
The Role of Progesterone
Estrogen and progesterone have different jobs in hormone therapy.
If you have a uterus and use systemic estrogen, progesterone is generally included to help protect the uterine lining.
