Menopause Support Group

Menopause is the physiological cessation of menstrual cycles associated with advancing age. It normally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55, when the body begins to slow and stop the production of eggs, estrogen and progesterone production decreases, and menstruation diminishes, eventually stopping altogether.

My new young "female" doctor swears that her perimenopause and menopausal patients thrive on Prometrium (progesterone) treatments. She has prescribed 200 mg to be taken at bedtime each day( because of drowsiness). Does anyone have any experiences good or bad with this therapy? I'm about to start and I would love it if you would share your opinion. Thanks!
