Progesterone Daily vs Luteal Only

Background: 39F, struggling with chronic dizziness/vestibular migraines almost exclusively during follicular/ovulation for the past 3 years. Anxiety and OCD have SKYROCKETED in that time. Did a 3 month experiment on myself measuring hormones daily and found my progesterone was tanked the whole cycle (never went above 6). Also just got diagnosed with endometriosis via lap surgery in January (finally my chronic pelvic pain has a “why”).

Was just prescribed 100mg progesterone daily, since my symptoms are happening mostly outside of luteal.

This is my first foray into HRT and I’m frankly terrified…but somewhat optimistic? Dizziness has absolutely ruined my qualify of life and confidence in my body, so I’m hoping this is THE THING that helps.

Anyone with similar experiences?
