When should I take estrogen?
There's no mandated time to take estrogen, but consistency is key to achieving the best results. You can experiment until you find the best time of day that works for you. Body cream and oral tablets are used daily, while patches and vaginal estrogen may require a different cadence of use. It's important to use your medication as directed by your doctor.
When should I take progesterone?
There is no specified time to take progesterone. Since every person's body will respond differently, you can experiment to find whether day or night works best for you. Progesterone can have a slightly sedative effect, so some patients prefer to take it at night to assist with falling asleep and to avoid feeling sleepy during the day. For a small percentage of patients, progesterone can cause busy dreams, so those patients prefer to take it in the morning instead.
When should I take DHEA?
There's no mandated time to take DHEA, but consistency is key to achieving the best results. You can experiment until you find the best time of day that works for you.
For all medications, remember to remain consistent and use as directed by your Winona physician.
