So let's talk about the ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ด๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ.
I take it at bedtime for a reason. Oral progesterone tends to make you drowsy, and for a lot of women in perimenopause, that helps with falling asleep and staying asleep. As your body breaks it down, it makes a compound that works on GABA, the same calming pathway that helps you wind down.
What I've noticed: fewer 3 a.m. wake-ups and less lying there running through tomorrow's list.
It has another job too. If you take estrogen, progesterone helps protect the uterine lining, which is why many women on estrogen take both.
If sleep is what's wearing you down, bring it up at your next visit. Book a consultation at the link in bio.

Balanced: A Patient Diary follows one patient's real experience. Your treatment plan should come from your provider.
Your health is more than one symptom. And your care should be, too.
At Charleston Hormone Services, we take a whole-body approach to helping you feel your best.
That starts by looking deeper. Through extensive lab testing and an in-depth consultation, we take the time to understand your medical history, lifestyle, symptoms and personal health goals โ not just a single number on a lab report.
From there, we build a personalized plan around three pillars of care: hormone health, wellness and aesthetics.
Whether you're navigating changing hormones, working toward better metabolic health, addressing thyroid or weight concerns, or simply looking for ways to feel more confident and more like yourself, our goal is to meet you where you are.
One practice. A personalized plan. A whole-body approach.

What does "bioidentical" actually mean? ๐ฟ
Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to the hormones your body naturally produces. They can be made from plant-based sources and come in different forms, like estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone.
Depending on the hormone and formulation, they may be FDA-approved or compounded.
At CHS Hormone, your hormone, dose, and delivery method are personalized to you, based on your symptoms, health history, goals, and preferences. The goal is simple: help you feel your best while keeping treatment as safe as possible.

Balanced: A Patient Diary. Week One ๐
One week on my testosterone pellet. I'm holding off on progesterone for now, one thing at a time, so I can see how this alone makes me feel.
Days two through seven, I could not believe it. More energy than I can remember having. No coffee needed, and at the end of the day I actually want to go for a run.
Follow along as I share how it's going, week by week.
Everyone's experience is different. Talk to your provider at CHS Hormone about what's right for you.

Tired of under-eyes that look tired?
PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor) is a regenerative treatment designed to support your skinโs natural production of collagen and elastin, helping improve the appearance and quality of the delicate skin under the eyes over time.
Unlike traditional filler, which adds volume, PDGF works by supporting your skinโs own regenerative processes - making it an option for patients looking for a more natural approach to under-eye rejuvenation.
Results can continue to develop over time and may last 6โ12 months or longer, depending on the individual.
Curious if PDGF is right for you? Request a consultation through the link in our bio or call 843.508.8123.

I'm 51 and I still have a cycle, but my labs came back in the ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฎ๐น range. Six weeks earlier, my estradiol was 372. This time it was 13.3.
Stephanie explained that hormones fluctuate throughout the month. One blood draw is only a snapshot, which is why she listens to how her patients feel as well as what the numbers say.
She walked me through my options: creams, patches, oral medications, pellets and injections. Based on everything, she suggested we start with testosterone and progesterone, the safest place for me to start right now.
I chose the pellet. She inserted it the same day, and I picked up a compounded progesterone on my way out.
I've officially started. Next entry: how week one felt.

Hormone therapy isn't one-size-fits-all and ๐ป๐ฒ๐ถ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ต๐ผ๐ฟ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ.
At CHS Hormone, treatment is ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ based on your symptoms, lab results, health history, lifestyle and preferences.
Hormone therapy may be delivered in several different forms, including creams, patches, oral medications, pellets, injections and vaginal estrogen.

For some patients, pellet therapy may be a good option because it offers long-lasting hormone delivery without the need to remember a daily cream, pill or patch. Dosing is individualized, and pellets typically provide hormone delivery over several months before another treatment is needed.
But pellets are one option - not the only option.
Our goal is to help you understand the choices available and work with you to determine an approach that makes sense for your body, your lifestyle and your goals.

Hello and Happy 2026 from the Practitioners at CHS ๐
As we embark on a new year.. this is your reminder to prioritize your health appointments for the year. Routine health screenings save livesโand theyโre a cornerstone of proactive, preventive care.
Mammograms and Pap smears help detect breast and cervical changes early. PSA lab checks can identify prostate concerns before symptoms appear. Bone density testing helps assess fracture risk and detect osteoporosis early. Colorectal screenings such as Cologuardยฎ and colonoscopy play a critical role in identifying colon cancer and precancerous changes.
These tests arenโt just recommendationsโtheyโre powerful tools for early detection, risk reduction, and long-term health.
Have questions about which screenings are right for you? Ask CHS Hormone.
If youโre an established patient and would like us to order any of these screening tests for you, please contact our officeโweโre happy to help guide you every step of the way. ๐
