Menstruation & Pregnancy Progesterone in B-Gest is important in the regulation of ovulation and menstruation. It is used to cause menstrual periods in women who have not reached menopause but are not having periods due to a lack of natural progesterone in the body. This medicine also helps to prepare the uterus lining for pregnancy. This increases the chance of a successful pregnancy. Hormone replacement therapy Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) with B-Gest is a treatment to relieve symptoms of menopause such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings and vaginal dryness. In HRT, it is usually given along with estrogen, another important female hormone. This treatment seeks to compensate for the falling levels of these hormones post menopause. Since menopause can last for several years, this treatment can make a big improvement to your daily life and mood.
