FAQs

Q: Do I take HRT like birth control, only on certain days?

A: No, Winona’s progesterone capsules contain peanut oil. If you have a peanut allergy, you can opt for the progesterone cream instead.

Q. When should I take my progesterone capsules?

A: It’s recommended to take progesterone just before bedtime, as progesterone generally has a calming and potentially sedative effect.

Q: Why should I take progesterone at night?

A: Progesterone has a naturally calming and sedative effect, which can help promote better sleep. For women in menopause, taking progesterone in the evening can aid in managing insomnia and improve overall sleep quality.

Q: Can I take progesterone in the morning?

A: Yes, you can take progesterone in the morning, but it’s generally recommended to take it at night because of its sedative effects, which can help improve sleep. Taking it in the morning may cause drowsiness or fatigue during the day for some people. However, if you don’t experience those side effects, and your healthcare provider approves, you can take it in the morning.

Q: Can I take progesterone during my period?

A: Yes, you can take progesterone during your period. Always follow the specific instructions given by your Winona physician, as they tailor the treatment to your individual needs.
