Progesterone is a crucial hormone in the female reproductive system, primarily produced by the ovaries. Its role is pivotal in preparing the body for pregnancy.
During the menstrual cycle, the body releases progesterone to thicken the uterine lining, creating a supportive environment for a potential fertilized egg. If pregnancy does not occur, hormone levels decrease, leading to the shedding of the uterine lining during menstruation.
When a fertilized egg implants in the uterus, progesterone levels remain elevated, this supports pregnancy by maintaining the uterine lining and preparing the breasts for milk production.
Understanding the role of progesterone is essential for women’s reproductive health and pregnancy outcomes.
The timeframe for HRT is highly individualized. There is no definitive limit on how long patients should take HRT.
In the past, patients would be advised to take the lowest dosage for the shortest amount of time. This has since changed because it was not an adequate assessment for many people.
During HRT, regular monitoring is conducted to assess risks and patient health.
Yes. Blood tests every 6–12 months check hormone levels, liver function, and cardiovascular markers.
We provide dosing support based on your results.
What Are the Signs That You Need Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Signs that you may need HRT include:
It is necessary to consult with your doctor to determine if the symptoms you are experiencing are caused by a hormonal imbalance rather than another condition.
It may! Hormonal balance can boost energy, muscle mass, and sexual desire.
Testosterone (for women) or DHEA is often compounded into libido creams.
We create tailored combinations for these concerns
Yes!
Options include:
Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones mirror your body's natural structure.
They're a leading solution for hormone deficiency (like low estrogen or testosterone), but like all therapies, they require careful management.
Compounding pharmacies can create customized options for progesterone products. Our professional lab combines the necessary bioidentical hormone with one or two additional ingredients to develop the required hormone medication.
These compounded progesterone treatments are available in various dosage sizes and forms, including troches, capsules, gels, and more, ensuring tailored solutions for individual needs.
Our progesterone products are of the highest standards. They are meticulously crafted in our board-certified lab, containing as few as 2 or 3 ingredients per capsule. These ingredients are tailored to ensure the desired release of the medication, whether fast or slow release, meeting the highest standards of pharmaceutical excellence.
Importantly, we do not use peanut oil, making our products safe for individuals with peanut allergies. Instead, we use yam or soy, with yam being our preferred base. However, we always consider and accommodate client preferences.
Patients typically take progesterone capsules, troches, and rapid dissolve tablets (RDTs) once daily.
While capsules are swallowed and absorbed through the digestive system, troches and RDTs are sublingual forms that dissolve in the mouth.
This delivery method bypasses first-pass metabolism by delivering hormones through the capillaries in the cheeks and under the tongue, increasing bioavailability.
Due to the drowsiness side effect, many patients take their progesterone medication right before bed.
Compounding allows for unique customizations that better fit the patient’s needs.
Doctors do not lock patients into specific dosage sizes. Pharmacies can compound any size from 1mg to 350mg.
If capsules are not the best fit, we can compound progesterone into different forms, such as troches and RDTs.
Compounded generic progesterone can be a part of hormone replacement therapy with the guidance of your practitioner and pharmacist.
