Hard to say: Prometrium (micronized progesterone) is probably not the best choice, by itself, for perimenopausal symptoms. Find a doctor who will evaluate all issues and hormone levels involved in this stage of your life. This treatment can get complicated so find someone who knows reproductive hormone balance well and treats many patients in your age group.
