I am a female athlete and experiencing amenorrhea. Can progesterone help?
Amenorrhea means not having menstrual periods. There can be many reasons for this as in pregnancy, PCOS, menopause and lifestyle (diet, stress, etc.). Often the cause of amenorrhea is that the ovaries do not release eggs (ovulate). Your ovaries may be releasing the hormone estrogen but not producing progesterone, a hormone necessary for periods to occur. In this case, using Oasis Serene from day 12 to day 26 will mimic what the body should produce naturally. In more advanced cases (of PCOS), high doses of progesterone may be required. Amenorrhea may also indicate more serious disease. Please consult your healthcare practitioner.
