What causes it

Progesterone levels naturally drop before your period. Factors that may contribute to lower levels include high stress, thyroid issues, or conditions like PCOS.

How to track it

Note spotting, mood dips, sleep quality, and cycle length in the luteal phase. Patterns over several cycles may reveal a connection.

When to see a doctor

If you have recurring short cycles, spotting before your period most months, or difficulty conceiving, speak with your doctor about hormone testing.
