I have a question regarding progesterone only therapy for the treatment of perimenopausal symptoms.
I am experiencing sleep issues, heart palpitations, headaches, heavy and extended periods etc. Due to this, I have been able to access a prescription from my gp for prometrium, but am unsure of dosage. According to my gp I should only take it for 14 days out of a 28 day cycle.....with oestrogen patches. But I would like to do progesterone only. If I'm taking it for the above symptoms, should I be taking it every night, or 2 weeks on 2 weeks off as suggested by my gp?
I would appreciate your thoughts please.
It's such a minefield!
Thanks
