Everything you need to know about Injectable compounded Progesterone
What is Progesterone
Progesterone is a bio-identical hormone that plays a central role in regulating the menstrual cycle, supporting early pregnancy, balancing the effects of estrogen, and promoting calm, restorative sleep. When natural progesterone levels decline—whether from perimenopause, surgical menopause, irregular ovulation, or fertility treatments—carefully tailored supplementation can smooth mood swings, ease breast tenderness, lighten heavy or unpredictable periods, and help many people feel grounded and rested again.
The prescription form most often used in hormone-restoration therapy is micronized progesterone, a plant-derived molecule that is chemically identical to the hormone your ovaries once produced in abundance. It is available as oral capsules, dissolvable troches, transdermal creams, and vaginal suppositories. Because its molecular structure matches that of native progesterone, the body recognises and metabolises it cleanly, making it a preferred option over older synthetic progestins for anyone seeking a more physiological response.
Is Progesterone safe and effective?
Randomised trials and decades of clinical practice show that bio-identical progesterone relieves perimenopausal anxiety, improves night-time body temperature regulation, and restores regular bleeding patterns in anovulatory cycles.
Micronized formulations do not raise blood-clot risk appreciably, and they have a neutral—or even favourable—effect on blood pressure and lipid profiles compared with many synthetic progestins. Most people begin to notice smoother moods and more satisfying sleep within two to three weeks of the first dose adjustment.
How does Progesterone work?
Once absorbed, progesterone travels to receptors throughout the brain, breast, uterus, bone, and metabolic tissues. In the brain it converts to neuroactive metabolites that soothe the GABA system, fostering deeper sleep and calmer mood. In the uterus it balances estrogen-driven growth of the endometrium, reducing the risk of heavy bleeding and, in postmenopausal women taking estrogen, protecting against endometrial hyperplasia.
Progesterone also supports bone formation, modulates insulin sensitivity, and may ease the water retention that often accompanies high-estrogen states.
Generic oral capsules are inexpensive in most regions: a thirty-day supply of 100-mg capsules usually ranges from $15 to $40 in the United States. Custom-flavoured troches, topical creams, or vaginal formulations prepared by compounding pharmacies cost more, yet remain affordable for most budgets, particularly when dispensed in ninety-day batches.
