3 Symptoms of Low Progesterone Many Women Overlook Progesterone is one of the key hormones that helps create balance in the female body — especially during the second half of the menstrual cycle and throughout perimenopause. When progesterone levels start to decline, many women begin noticing changes in how they feel. Here are 3 common symptoms of low progesterone I see in practice: ✨ Poor sleep or waking during the night Progesterone has a calming effect on the brain and supports healthy sleep. When levels drop, many women notice trouble falling asleep or waking between 2–4am. ✨ Anxiety or feeling “on edge” Progesterone helps regulate the nervous system. Low levels can contribute to feeling more anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally reactive. ✨ Short cycles or spotting before your period Progesterone stabilizes the uterine lining after ovulation. When levels are low, cycles may shorten, or you may notice spotting before your period starts. Hormones shift naturally during perimenopause, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with uncomfortable symptoms. Understanding what your body is communicating is the first step toward creating balance again. If you’ve been experiencing changes in your sleep, mood, or cycle, it may be worth exploring whether hormones are playing a role. ✨ Book a visit to explore personalized support for your hormones. #perimenopause #progesterone #hormonebalance #womenshealth #lowprogesterone #hormonehealth #naturopathicmedicine #drsamanthand #oakvillewellness #womenswellness #perimenopausesupport #integrativehealth #rootcausemedicine #feelbetter
