A member asked:
During the 7 days of menses, which hormone is higher and which is lower between estrogen and progesterone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both: At the beginning of the menstrual cycle both estrogen and Progesterone are quite low as the cycle is reset. Estrogen begins to rise first - peak shortly before ovulation and declines. After ovulation Progesterone begins to rise. If no pregnancy ensues Progesterone levels fall and the cycle begins again.
