The First Hormone to Drop in Menopause… Might Surprise You ✨
Most people think estrogen is the first hormone to decline during menopause—but it’s actually progesterone that starts dropping first.
Why does that matter?
Progesterone is your calming, balancing hormone 🤍
When it begins to decline, you may notice:
▪️ Trouble sleeping
▪️ Increased anxiety or irritability
▪️ Heavier or irregular periods
▪️ Breast tenderness
▪️ Feeling “off” but not sure why
This phase—called perimenopause—can start years before menopause, and symptoms often show up long before estrogen significantly drops.
💡 When progesterone decreases, estrogen can become relatively dominant, leading to many of the symptoms women struggle with in their late 30s and 40s.
The good news?
There are safe, effective ways to support hormone balance and help you feel like yourself again.
✨ Better sleep
✨ Improved mood
✨ Hormonal balance
You don’t have to “just deal with it.”
