CeMCOR is pleased to announce that we have reached our recruitment goal for this study. As of May 2009, we will no longer be enrolling any new participants. Thank you to everyone who volunteered for the study!

We are comparing natural progesterone (Prometrium®) with a placebo (dummy pill). You will keep a daily record of hot flushes during these five months.

Those of us at the Centre for Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation Research integrate scientific and practical information for the benefit and empowerment of women. What is posted here is as wise and as accurate as we are able to produce. However, it lacks essential knowledge of your preferences, your life and health histories that are needed before treatment decisions are made. Please work with your primary care health provider to determine what is best for you. Remember we can't take responsibility (liability) for the personal health decisions that you make based on our information, suggestions, and advice.
