Frequently asked questions
Begin intakeWhy would I take progesterone?
If you have a uterus and take systemic estrogen, progesterone is added to help protect the uterine lining. Your provider decides whether you need it.
When do I take progesterone capsules?
Your provider sets the schedule. Progesterone is often taken at bedtime because it can cause drowsiness.
Can progesterone help me sleep?
In clinical trials, micronized progesterone improved sleep quality in postmenopausal women. It is not a promise of symptom relief, and your provider decides whether it fits.
Do I need progesterone if I have no uterus?
Usually not for uterine protection. If you have had a hysterectomy, your provider will tell you whether progesterone has any role in your plan.
Do progesterone capsules contain peanut oil?
Some do, so tell your provider about any peanut allergy before you start.
What are the risks of hormone therapy?
Combined estrogen and progesterone therapy carries risks, including blood clots, stroke and breast cancer. They depend on your age, health and how long you take it.
Does timing matter for hormone therapy?
It can. Hormone therapy is generally most favorable when started under age 60 or within 10 years of menopause. Your provider reviews your history.
What is included with a Pep’d prescription?
Provider review of your intake, ongoing messaging with your care team, and a personalized plan. If prescribed, medication ships from a licensed pharmacy.
Do I need an in-person visit to get started?
No. You complete your intake online and a licensed provider reviews it. Your provider will tell you if anything more is needed.
Is insurance required to get started?
No. Pep’d operates outside of insurance, and insurance is not required to get started.
Are progesterone capsules available in every state?
Availability varies by state. Your intake will confirm what is available where you live.
Can my provider change my plan over time?
Yes. Your provider can adjust your plan based on how you respond and how you tolerate treatment.
How does delivery work?
If you’re prescribed, a licensed pharmacy ships your medication to your door.
