When do I use my Balance cream if I have an irregular cycle?Updated 6 months ago

When we are in Perimenopause and still having our periods but they are irregular, it can be difficult to time the use of progesterone.


Here are the directions for use if you have irregular periods:


If your periods are irregular during Perimenopause, start the Balance cream 10 to 12 days after the first day of the last menstrual period and continue for two weeks or until your period begins, whichever feels better. Sometimes your period may not start back up and so you can just simply take a break for a week to 10 days, and then start again.


This is our general guidance in using the product, Balance. If you are concerned with irregular periods, then you should talk to your practitioner to rule out any underlying conditions.
