progesterone for sleep

Anyone taking progesterone & does it help with sleep? I had hot flashes/insomnia prior to the TAH w/BSO and still have them. Also, is anyone taking oral micronized progesterone?

Without progesterone, I feel wired and just too anxious to sleep. I take 100mg Prometrium before bed and sleep pretty well.

Hi Betsy,

I take 200mg oral progesterone before bed, and it helps me sleep better. If I don't take it I have a hard time falling asleep and wake up multiple times. The progesterone helps me to get some sleep. Some is better than nothing. I have to take what I can get right now.
