Getting started with Progesterone capsules at QuickMD
Description
Progesterone capsules are a prescription medication that work with your body to restore healthy hormone balance. They’re often prescribed alongside estrogen therapy to protect the uterus and lower the risk of endometrial hyperplasia (abnormal tissue growth). Many women also find progesterone helps improve sleep quality and supports mood balance during menopause. Because the capsules are taken orally, they provide steady hormone levels throughout your system. Progesterone capsules may also be prescribed for women with irregular cycles or other hormone-related concerns. You can meet with a QuickMD doctor to see if progesterone capsules are the right option for you.
How to use
Take progesterone capsules exactly as directed by your QuickMD doctor. This medication is taken by mouth and should not be opened or chewed. Swallow each capsule whole with a full glass of water, with or without food. Take your dose at the same time each day to help maintain steady hormone levels. Take at bedtime since progesterone can make you feel drowsy. Your doctor may prescribe it to be taken cyclically or continuously, depending on your treatment plan and whether you are also using estrogen therapy. Staying on schedule makes the treatment more effective. Each prescription comes with a patient information leaflet. Be sure to read it carefully, and ask your doctor if you have any questions.Benefits

Frequently asked questions
How much do progesterone capsules cost?
Progesterone capsules are $19 with QuickMD’s cash-pay option, giving you clear, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Many women prefer this route because it’s simple, stress-free, and allows their medication to be shipped right to their door. If you’d rather use insurance, your doctor can send your prescription to your local pharmacy. Costs and coverage depend on your plan, but your QuickMD doctor will walk you through the options so you can choose what works best for your health, your budget, and your life.
What happens to your body when you start taking progesterone?
Progesterone works with estrogen to bring your hormones back into balance. When you start taking it, your body may adjust with changes like lighter or more predictable bleeding if you’re still having cycles. Many women also notice improved sleep, fewer side effects from estrogen, and an overall sense of steadiness as their hormones level out. Your doctor will guide you on what to expect and help adjust your treatment as needed.
Does progesterone make you tired?
Progesterone can have a calming effect, which is why some women feel more relaxed or sleepy after taking it. For this reason, many doctors recommend taking it at bedtime. It can actually help improve sleep quality. If the drowsiness feels too strong or lingers into the next day, let your doctor know so they can adjust your treatment.
How the membership works
Book your first visit. It’s free to start!
To begin your MHT Membership, book your first visit with a QuickMD doctor who understands perimenopause and menopause. Start with your first month free, then continue at $79 per month, which includes a doctor’s visit, your prescription, and ongoing care. During your first appointment, your doctor will review your health history, listen to your symptoms, and answer your questions. Together, you’ll decide whether hormone therapy feels right for you and start care that’s supportive, personal, and focused on lasting relief.
Unlock the perks of woman-centered care
Your membership gives you immediate access to answers when you need them most. Each month, your first doctor’s visit is included in your membership, and if you need additional support, extra visits are just $49. If medication could help ease your symptoms, your doctor will take the time to discuss your options and prescribe what you need during your visit. You can choose to have it shipped directly to your home with transparent pricing, or sent same-day to your local pharmacy. There are no contracts to lock you in, so you can cancel anytime. It’s flexible care built around what you’re going through, so you get the care you deserve.
Find relief with Progesterone capsules, if right for you
If your doctor determines progesterone capsules are right for you, they can prescribe them as part of your treatment plan. Each capsule works to help balance hormone levels and protect the endometrium. With consistent use, many women find greater hormonal balance, improved cycle regulation for women who still have a cycle, and added support for long-term uterine health. Over time, this balance can also support better sleep, steadier mood, and overall well-being. With your membership, you’ll have regular check-ins with your doctor to track progress and make adjustments so your treatment works best for you.
