A member asked:
How long does prometrium (micronized progesterone) stay in your system? does it build up over time and how long before its depleted?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
About 1 day: Half life is around 28 hours, meaning half is gone every 28 hours you don't take it. You don't build up a store of it either. So within a few days, it is gone from your system hope that helps.
