Remember that progesterone is not effective for all women with premenstrual symptoms. In order to determine whether it is effective for you, we feel that a two to three month trial is necessary. At the end of this time if you are not experiencing any relief of symptoms, we would recommend that the progesterone be discontinued. If you are noticing improvement, we will work with you to find the dose that is best for you.
Remember all of the other components of the treatment of premenstrual syndrome are important, including diet, exercise and stress management. Difficult situations may arise occasionally even though you are on treatment that is usually effective. Try not to be discouraged by these times, next month is likely to be better.
