Women are in need of estrogen and progesterone as well as testosterone. Sometimes, progesterone can be used as a sleep aid in men but it is not a hormone men need. Women lose progesterone and estrogen as they age. After menopause a drop in estrogen as much as 90% occurs within only 1-2 years. This drop is what leads to many of the post-menopause symptoms women feel. Brain fog and hot flashes are the most common things women start to notice.
