Is it allowed to take Progesterone during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Excreted into breast milk in a non-significant amount with no side-effects observed in breastfed infants of treated mothers. The plasma levels in those infants have been undetectable or very low. During the first 6 weeks after birth, non-hormonal methods are of choice as contraceptives. If associated to estrogens may inhibit lactation. It is recommended the use of contraceptive medication that does not contain estrogens, or, better if it contains progestogen alone.

Prescribed to treat cycles that were too frequent (20 days) and too heavy, along with a myriad of pms symptoms (pain, irritability, fatigue). This progesterone helped lengthen my cycles, somewhat decrease their heaviness, and eliminate any pms pain and irritability. It has been extremely helpful after years of suffering.
