Could Low Progesterone Be Causing Your Symptoms? Discover The Link & Next Steps

Are you experiencing irregular periods, trouble sleeping, or mood swings? Many women suffer silently with these issues, unaware that low progesterone could be the culprit.

What Is Progesterone & Why Is It Important?

Progesterone is a key hormone produced mainly in the ovaries after ovulation. It helps regulate your menstrual cycle, supports pregnancy, and impacts mood and sleep. Low progesterone levels can lead to a variety of symptoms and health concerns, especially among women in the UK seeking answers for persistent hormone-related issues.

Symptoms Of Low Progesterone—Are These Affecting You?

  • Irregular or missed periods
  • Worsening PMS
  • Difficulty falling or staying pregnant
  • Mood changes, anxiety, or depression
  • Hot flushes or night sweats
  • Disturbed sleep
  • Unexplained headaches
If you’re experiencing one or more of these symptoms, checking your progesterone level could provide helpful insight.

How Can You Check Your Progesterone Levels?

The good news? You don’t have to wait for a GP appointment or travel to a clinic. With a Mayfield At-Home Progesterone Blood Test Kit, you can measure your hormone levels from home using a simple finger-prick test. Get secure results in just one day.

Actionable Steps Before Testing

  • Track your cycle and any symptoms
  • Ensure you’re eating a balanced diet and getting regular rest
  • Minimise stress through yoga, mindfulness, or gentle exercise
