Can Intake Of Progesterone Be Stopped?
I had been bleeding and doubling the dose of progesterone I was on did not work. We changed the type of progesterone and I now am very fatigue, have back pain and my moods are terrible. I d like to discontinue using any progesterone for a time to see how I feel. Bad idea?
