Tag: Oral micronized progesterone

In the UK, the incidence rate of new hormone replacement therapy (HRT) prescriptions, which often include progesterone, rose from 5.01 per 1000 person-years in 2010 to 18.16 in 2021 [1.8.1]. Amid this growing use, many women ask, 'Can I take progesterone two times a day?'

Bioidentical hormones, including oral progesterone, are manufactured in a laboratory but are structurally identical to the hormones produced by the human body. When people ask, "Is there a natural progesterone pill?", they are often referring to this prescription-only oral micronized progesterone, which is not found in over-the-counter supplements.
