b'Sarah\\u2019s Question:\\xa0\\n\\nThank you for writing your post weighing the differences between creams and oral capsules. What dosing would be typical for a premenopausal woman with PCOS and amenorrhea (1-2 menstrual cycles per year) who is seeking to regulate cycles?\\n\\nShort Answer:\\xa0\\n\\nWe often prescribe between 50 mg and 200 mg of bioidentical, sustained-release progesterone for women with a variety of hormone-related symptoms. For PCOS, a good dose would be 75 mg of progesterone. It is common for many women with PCOS to have irregular cycles, so the progesterone can help to restore a consistent monthly cycle. Depending on the symptom profile, the dose may need to increase over time, but 75 mg is a good starting point.\\n\\n\\nSome other podcasts related to PCOS:\\n\\nPYHP 063 \\u2013 What Type of PCOS Do I Have \\u2013 Classic\\xa0\\n\\nPYHP 064 \\u2013 What Type of PCOS Do I Have \\u2013 Common\\n\\nPYHP 065 \\u2013 What Type of PCOS Do I Have \\u2013 Concealed\\n\\nPYHP 066 \\u2013 Do I Have Adrenal Fatigue or PCOS?\\xa0\\n\\n\\n\\nPYHP 080 Full Transcript:\\xa0\\n\\n\\nDownload PYHP 080 Transcript:\\xa0\\nDr. Maki: Hello everyone.

Dr. Davidson, why won\\u2019t you go ahead and read it?\\xa0\\nDr. Davidson: Sure. Sure. So Sarah sent us an email about a blog post that we had written, talking about the difference between creams and oral capsules for bioidentical progesterone replacement. So Sarah\\u2019s asking or actually saying thank you. Thank you for writing your post weighing the differences between creams and oral capsules, that would be for the progesterone. What dosing would be typical for a pre-menopausal woman with PCOS and amenorrhea having one to two menstrual cycles per year who is seeking to regulate cycles?\\nDr. Maki: Okay, so this is a fairly common situation that we deal with on a regular basis, both with the progesterone, the capsule versus cream comes up a lot. Prometrium versus progesterone comes up a lot. I know we\\u2019ve talked about Prometrium on the past. Prometrium always comes in a capsule. That\\u2019s what you get from a big box pharmacy.
