Progesterone high dose

[tommyg130]

Hi, is there any truth with this idea that when beginning to supplement progesterone you need to use a mega dose at first ? This notion is said quite commonly and I’m wondering if any truth to it?

My girlfriend has painful intense bloody periods so I plan to give her a few drops during her luteal phase, alongside some aspirin and vitamin E. Do I rly need to give her huge doses. I’ve always been of the camp minimal effective dose so I’d like to not megadose her lol.

I never mega-dosed. Interested in others' experiences.

And you reaped the benefits ?!

Yes! Immediately. However, I worked on the foundationals before adding it in. Blood sugar balance, gut health, metabolism. Aspirin and vitamin e for a few months can help move someone to a better place before incorporating progesterone. Less likelihood of side effects that way.

Has she ever done the hormonal test? I would probably start there. Does she have a history of other issues, like cysts, endometriosis etc? Is she or was on birth control?

Perhaps, you can start with aspirin alongside with gelatin and K2 and yes vitamin E as well.

To answer your question I personally didn't megadose when I started with progesterone but I wished I did.
