Understanding Your Hormones – Progesterone

Understanding Your Hormones – Progesterone

Over the next few episodes, I am going to be sharing a series of presentations that I created which cover each of the different hormones and how they impact the way that you look and feel as you move through your menopause transition. Today you will discover more about progesterone, it’s role each month and what happens as your progesterone levels start to decline. In fact, progesterone is the first of your reproductive hormones to start to decline since you have a dwindling supply of viable eggs, and you will not be ovulating every month.

Role of progesterone

  • Support the growth of egg and first 3 months of pregnancy
  • Provides a sense of wellbeing
  • Promotes restful sleep
  • Anti-anxiety
  • Calms the brain
  • Natural anti-inflammatory
  • Builds bones
  • Protects the heart
  • Increase metabolic rate
  • Normalises immune function

Low progesterone symptoms

  • Mood swings including anxiety and depression
  • Problems sleeping
  • Joint and body pain
  • Weight gain
  • Tendency to auto-immune conditions
  • Fatigue
  • More painful periods especially cramping
  • Heavy bleeding
  • Decrease in bone density
