Low Progesterone Protocol
If you have correctly charted your cycle, gotten your bloods back and identified low progesterone or a short luteal phase the protocol below will help address these issues. I would recommend staying on it for 3 months and retesting levels 7 days post ovulation. Also keep an eye on your luteal phase length to monitor improvements.

Stress Reducing Herbs
This formula contains Ashwagandha and Rhodiola to help reduce stress and anxiety while supporting balanced female and thyroid hormones. The adrenal glands pump out the stress hormones and the adrenal herbs can help calm them down and support reduced stress and better sleep. As extra prolactin maybe released during times of stress this supplement can help reduce stress-induced high prolactin.
Vitex Berry / Agnus Castus
Vitex may improve female fertility due to its ability to lower prolactin levels and increase progesterone. It can help lower FSH while increasing LH and this can help lengthen the Luteal Phase of the cycle to support better chance of implantation. Herbs are much slower at reacting than medicines so I recommend at least 3 months before retesting your progesterone. Take 28 drops/ full dropper 1-2 times daily throughout your entire cycle.
B6 in the form P5P
I absolutely love B6 for reducing PMS symptoms and supporting good mood. B6 is essential for the production of the corpeus luteum and the prodcution of progesterone. B6 can also reduce PMS related stress and anxiety due to it’s ability to support the body in making our feel good hormones dopamine and serotonin and the way it supports healthy oestrogen metabolism. Take 1-2 capsules daily. Warning do not take this high dose of B6 for longer than 6 months.
Gentle Vitamin C
This vitamin C is in the form magnesium ascorbate so it is very gentle on the tummy. It’s not flavoured and it won’t fizz up but it will dissolve slowly into water and has very little taste. One study showed that women who took 750mg of vitamin C daily increased their progesterone levels by 77%. Take 1 scoop in water morning or evening
