Oral progesterone and progesterone cream take very different paths through the body, and that difference shapes two things that matter most in hormone therapy: how well you sleep and how reliably the uterine lining is protected. This episode walks through how each form is absorbed, why the pill often produces a calming effect the cream does not, and why providers lean toward oral dosing when estrogen is part of the regimen and a uterus is still present.

We also cover how perimenopause complicates the decision, common side effects for each form, and what compounded progesterone means in practice, since compounded preparations are made by a licensed pharmacy for an individual patient and are not FDA approved. If you're weighing your options, this episode gives you the background to bring a sharper, more specific list of questions to your own provider.
