How Much Natural Progesterone Should I Take

The dosages of natural progesterone required in hormonal treatment depends on several things. These include a woman's life stage, levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body, whether estrogen dominance, menopause or low progesterone are the conditions being experienced, and symptoms being manifested.

There doesn't seem to be any adverse affect from significantly increased progesterone levels, other than a change in menstrual cycle schedule, and a feeling of euphoria sometimes reported.

Approximately 20 25mg of progesterone is produced each day in the system of a healthy woman, during the last 14 days of her menstrual cycle. The goal for a woman experiencing a progesterone deficiency is to replace that same amount of progesterone to restore hormonal balance.

If natural progesterone is applied through the skin (as in the use of cream), it is very readily absorbed into the body, and therefore requires a small dosage. As a result, it's often suggested that it be administered twice daily, in the morning and evening.

Following are some basic recommendations based on a woman's reproductive stage or circumstance. These recommendations are only meant as general guides:

Women who are reproductive (ovulating) should take 20 25mg of natural progesterone daily, beginning on day 14 of their menstrual cycle (this is usually 14 days after ovulation and day one of the menstrual period) through day 26.This is so that there is no disruption in the normal pattern of the menstrual cycle.

Peri-menopausal women (menstrual period with symptoms of menopause, not ovulating) should take 20 25mg of natural progesterone daily beginning on day 7 after the menstrual period begins, through day 27.

Women in post-menopause should administer 20 25 mg of natural progesterone daily for 25 days, then rest for the remaining days of the month.

It is highly recommended that a health care professional be consulted in ultimately determining what the dosage of natural progesterone should be. In addition, the body should be given a rest for several days each month during which natural progesterone is not administered.
