8 Signs your Progesterone is low
8 Signs your Progesterone is low
Progesterone is one of the key hormones in a woman’s body. In proper balance with Estrogen and Testosterone, it functions to regulate menstrual cycles, improve fertility, ease menopausal transition and PMS, promote sleep and feeling calm, speed up metabolism and generates a general sense of wellbeing.
Here are 8 signs that your progesterone may be low:
- Insomnia
- Bloating and water retention, regardless of what you are eating…
- PMS to the max!
- Irregular or short period cycles.
- Menstrual cramping
- Fibroids or PCOS
- Infertility
- Anxiety
I will often test the levels of hormones via a dried urine test or salivary hormone test. From there a plan can be made to optimize your hormone levels and help to make these symptoms something of the past.
