✨ Do you need to take progesterone? ✨

This is one of the most common questions I’m asked — and the answer is it depends.

Progesterone is a hormone that naturally balances oestrogen. During perimenopause and menopause, levels drop, which can affect sleep, mood and cycle changes.

👉 If you still have your womb and you’re taking oestrogen as part of HRT, you usually need progesterone too. It protects the lining of the womb and reduces health risks.
👉 If you’ve had a hysterectomy, you often don’t need progesterone.

📊 In the UK, HRT use has risen sharply in recent years, with millions of women now accessing treatment — and for many, progesterone is part of that picture. Worldwide, menopause care is finally getting the attention it deserves.

Progesterone may also support better sleep, calmer mood and symptom balance for some women — but it’s not one-size-fits-all.

The key?
💚 Personalised care
💚 The right hormones for your body
💚 A conversation that listens to you

You’re not broken — you’re navigating change. And you deserve support.
