Period Stopped since Starting Progesterone

by Ana
(Australia)

Thank you so much for starting this website resource. It has been a great help as I learn about Natural Progesterone.


I started taking the progesterone cream in August, waiting 13 days after bleeding, as I’ve read to do.


I felt the benefits straight away. Particularly mood, appearance, sleep and stress.


This was my first cycle taking Progesterone. I only used around 100mg a day.


When restarting the progesterone for my second cycle (I stopped the progesterone on the first day of bleeding, as prescribed) I wanted to up the dose to 200mg a day because I was loving the benefits.


I felt even better, but noticed that my period was late, and it still has not arrived. I am now 40 days without a bleed, and I’m starting to get a little worried… which is why I’ve come for some help….


Here are my stats for easy reading:

--- 41 years.
--- 26 - 28 Day Cycle — VERY REGULAR! No PMS symptoms. Periods are a “breeze” for me…
--- Very clued in on VIT D status, as well as other supplements recommended here.
--- Gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free for decades….



My main concern is if I should STOP the progesterone to see if my period comes again?

I know that menstruating women should pause the progesterone every month.


I also worry that maybe I “over did it” with the dose? As mentioned, I was so regular before this, and the only thing i changed was adding progesterone….


Any advice would be much appreciated - not to mention calming, as I’m starting to worry about my period just disappearing like this!



Many thanks in advance
