Progesterone Hormone - #19564
I’ve been dealing with some pretty frustrating issues related to my hormones lately and I’m really hoping someone can help me out here. I’ve heard a bit about progesterone hormone and how important it is, especially for women like me, but I’m still confused about what’s going on with me. So here’s my situation: I’m in my late 30s and for the past year, I’ve noticed some weird changes in my body. It started off with irregular periods – they’ve always been pretty regular, so this was strange. Sometimes my cycle is super short, sometimes it’s really long, and then there are some months where I barely have a period at all. I’ve been feeling super fatigued too, like I can barely get out of bed in the mornings. And I’ve noticed that my skin has gotten a lot drier, which is something I’ve never dealt with before. A couple of months ago, I went to my doctor and they did some blood tests. Turns out my progesterone hormone levels are lower than they should be, and the doctor mentioned that this could be contributing to my irregular cycles and fatigue. He didn’t really dive much deeper, just said it was common and that I should try managing stress. But I’ve been feeling like something is off and I don’t want to just ignore it. I’ve heard that low progesterone can mess with a lot of things like fertility and even mood swings. Lately, I’ve also noticed some changes in my mood – I get irritated way more easily, and sometimes I feel anxious for no reason. My libido seems lower than before too, and that’s been a bit concerning. I’m trying to figure out if this is all tied to my progesterone hormone levels, or if something else is going on. I’ve tried a few lifestyle changes like cutting back on caffeine and getting more sleep, but I don’t really feel like it’s helping. I’ve heard that Ayurveda has some herbs and remedies that can help balance hormones, especially progesterone. But I’m not sure where to start. Do you think my low progesterone hormone levels could be the root cause of all this? I’m wondering if there’s a natural way to boost progesterone levels with Ayurvedic remedies. Are there any specific herbs or treatments you would recommend that have helped others in similar situations? Also, I’m curious if it’s possible that my hormone imbalance could be affecting other areas of my health, like my skin or mood swings. How long would it typically take to see results from Ayurvedic treatments for something like this?
