Sarah’s Question:  Thank you for writing your post weighing the differences between creams and oral capsules. What dosing would be typical for a premenopausal woman with PCOS and amenorrhea (1-2 menstrual cycles per year) who is seeking to regulate cycles? Short Answer:  We often prescribe between 50 mg and 200 mg of bioidentical, sustained-release progesterone for women with a variety of hormone-related symptoms. For PCOS, a good dose would be 75 mg of progesterone. It is common for many women with PCOS to have irregular cycles, so the progesterone can help to restore a consistent monthly cycle. Depending on the symptom profile, the dose may need to increase over time, but 75 mg is a good starting point.
