Hi, i ve come off the progesterone-only pill at 53, wondering if it will have an effect on my menopausal symptoms - fatigue, insomnia, joint pain, weight gain - and if my progesterone levels will take a bad dip that will make symptoms worse? I came off to check I am at menopause (no periods for a year, but could have been cerazette rather than true menopause). Do I need to take progesterone in another form to keep my hormones balanced? I ve stopped for six months, and weight has increased - does progesterone pill or cream keep weight increase down? I really don t want to try HRT, as I m trying to manage symptoms without synthetic oestrogen. Thanks
