Progesterone Deficiency / Luteal Phase Defect
Estrogen Dominance
Where excessive estrogen relative to progesterone causes breast tenderness, bloating, heavy bleeding, or hormonal imbalance symptoms.
Perimenopause / Menopause Transition
As progesterone levels decline, symptoms like mood swings, sleep disruption, and hormone fluctuations arise — compounded progesterone can assist.
PMS / PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder)
Postpartum Hormonal Imbalance
Adjunctive Hormone Therapy
PMS / PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder)
Mood changes, irritability, bloating, and emotional symptoms tied to the menstrual cycle can often be cushioned via progesterone support.
Postpartum Hormonal Imbalance
After childbirth, women can experience hormone swings, mood changes, and unstable cycles — progesterone may help stabilize.
Adjunctive Hormone Therapy
When used in combination with estrogen or other bioidentical hormones, progesterone helps “balance” therapy and reduce side effects (e.g. on uterine lining).
