Does Hers Prescribe Progesterone? Yes—When a Provider Decides It Fits

Does Hers prescribe progesterone? Yes. Hers (forhers.com) lists oral progesterone in its menopause plan, prescribed after a licensed provider reviews your intake—most clearly when you have a uterus and are taking systemic estrogen. Oral plans start at $79 a month on a 12-month plan. The exact product, dose, state eligibility, and final total must be confirmed during the process. ^[1][2][3]

That is the answer. Now here is the part that made this page worth writing: Hers never names the progesterone product it dispenses on its menopause storefront, but its drug-information page links to one specific FDA label. We opened that label, checked Bionpharma’s current label, compared the two, and found a product detail that matters if you are allergic to peanuts.

Four things change this answer for you

• Do you have a uterus? If you use systemic estrogen and still have a uterus, your plan generally needs adequate endometrial protection. After a total hysterectomy, a progestogen is generally not needed solely for that purpose. ^[4]
• Are you allergic to peanuts? The Bionpharma progesterone capsules in both labels we checked contain peanut oil, and peanut allergy is a contraindication for those products. Hers does not publicly identify the exact manufacturer it dispenses, so confirm the product and inactive ingredients before taking it. ^[5][6][7]
• Do you want progesterone without estrogen? Hers explains that progesterone can be used alone in some clinical situations, but its public menopause offer does not clearly promise a progesterone-only plan. ^[8]
• Which state are you in? Hers says its menopause service is not available in all 50 states and does not publish a complete current list on the pages we reviewed. ^[1][2]

Best for you if / not for you if

Hers may be a good fit if you want a cash-pay online menopause assessment, are open to an oral progesterone product selected by a licensed provider, value home delivery and ongoing messaging, and are willing to confirm the exact medication and billing terms before accepting the plan.

Hers is not your best starting point if you need your insurer billed, must know the exact brand or manufacturer before intake, need a guaranteed progesterone-only plan, live in an unserved state, or have unexplained bleeding or a medical history that needs examination or coordinated in-person care. A peanut allergy is also a reason to stop and verify the exact product rather than assuming the published Hers-linked option is safe for you.

One thing to know before you click anything: on July 29, 2026, the Federal Trade Commission—joined by Utah and California through Los Angeles County Counsel—sued Hims & Hers Health, Inc. over alleged billing, cancellation, and health-data practices. These are allegations, not findings. The case is pending, and the company denies the claims and says it will defend itself. We put the details and four concrete checkout-protection steps in the FTC section below. ^[9][10][11]

Does the fit description above sound like your situation? Check current Hers menopause availability (provider link; a licensed provider decides what, if anything, is prescribed). Before paying, confirm the amount due today, the full term, the next processing date, and the cancellation deadline.

The right online HRT provider isn't the same for every woman — it depends on your symptoms, your age and whether you have a uterus, your medication route preference (patch, pill, gel, or vaginal estrogen), your risk history, your insurance or cash-pay situation, and your state. Some situations belong with an in-person clinician first. Because a general answer can't resolve those for you, use The HRT Index's Find My HRT Path tool to match your situation to the right provider — and to flag when online care isn't the right starting point — before your first consult.

The HRT Index is the independent decision resource for online menopause and HRT care — comparing telehealth providers on clinical legitimacy, care quality, medication fit, price transparency, and access, with every claim verified and dated, so women can choose the path that fits their situation before their first consult.

Does Hers prescribe progesterone? What the company actually says

Yes. Hers lists an oral progesterone pill as one of three possible parts of its menopause plan. A licensed provider reviews your intake, decides whether treatment is appropriate, and selects the combination; seeing progesterone on the storefront does not guarantee that it will appear in your prescription. ^[1][2]

Hers describes its offer as one kit with three potential parts:

1. An estradiol pill or patch.
2. A progesterone pill.
3. Estradiol vaginal cream.

Not everyone receives all three. Hers says a provider chooses the appropriate combination after reviewing the intake. It also says progesterone is for menopausal women with a uterus who are taking estrogen and that progesterone helps protect the uterine lining. Hers states plainly that progesterone is not independently approved to treat menopause symptoms. ^[1]

That last sentence is a damaging admission worth keeping. Progesterone is not a bonus item added because a woman wants “more complete” HRT. In this context, its central job is endometrial protection when estrogen would otherwise stimulate the uterine lining.

So the honest answer is two sentences:

• Yes, Hers offers oral progesterone as part of its menopause program.
• No, Hers does not guarantee it to every applicant. If you have a uterus and your systemic-estrogen plan does not include a clear form of endometrial protection, ask the prescriber to explain why.

What did we verify, and what does Hers still not publish?

Hers confirms the oral form, provider review, general uterus-plus-estrogen use case, online care process, starting plan price, and state limitation. It does not publicly identify every product, strength, price component, state, lab rule, or progesterone-only policy before assessment.

This table is the core of the page. Each commercial claim was re-checked against a current primary source on August 13, 2026. “Not published” means we could not establish it from the public sources reviewed; it does not mean Hers never offers it.

Your question	What Hers states	What we independently verified	What remains unknown before assessment
Does Hers prescribe progesterone?	A progesterone pill is a possible part of the menopause plan.	The menopause and perimenopause pages both list oral progesterone, subject to provider review. [1][2]	Whether you personally will receive it.
What form is public?	A pill / oral progesterone.	No progesterone cream, IUD, injection, or vaginal progesterone appears in the public Hers menopause kit. [1][2]	Whether any unpublished option exists.
Who is it most clearly for?	A menopausal woman with a uterus who is taking estrogen.	Hers says it helps protect the uterine lining. [1]	The complete clinical decision rules used for an individual applicant.
Is it micronized progesterone?	Hers’ education and drug pages discuss oral micronized progesterone.	Hers links to a Bionpharma oral micronized progesterone label. [5][6]	Whether every Hers patient receives that product or manufacturer.
Is it compounded?	Hers does not identify the menopause progesterone pill as compounded.	We found no public Hers menopause page describing a compounded progesterone product.	The exact pharmacy product that will be dispensed.
Which strengths exist in the linked label?	Not stated on the menopause storefront.	The older label Hers links and the current Bionpharma label both list 100 mg and 200 mg capsules. [6][7]	Which strength Hers makes available or a provider will choose.
What dose does Hers use?	Not published.	The linked product label’s approved endometrial-protection regimen is 200 mg at bedtime for 12 days in a 28-day cycle with conjugated estrogens. [6][7]	Hers’ actual prescribing patterns and your regimen.
Does it contain peanut oil?	Hers’ drug page lists peanut allergy among contraindications from the Bionpharma label.	Both Bionpharma labels reviewed contain peanut oil. [5][6][7]	Whether the exact product dispensed to you is Bionpharma or has the same excipients.
Can Hers prescribe progesterone without estrogen?	Hers’ education page says progesterone can be used alone in some circumstances.	The public menopause storefront frames progesterone mainly as part of an estrogen-containing plan. [1][8]	A current program-level progesterone-only policy.
What does it cost?	Oral medications start at $79 a month with a 12-month plan; patches start at $134 a month with a 12-month plan.	Those figures appear in a Hers article updated December 23, 2025, not as a progesterone-only storefront price. [3]	Your exact plan total, amount charged today, renewal price, and whether progesterone changes the price.
Is insurance required?	No. Hers markets access without using insurance.	The menopause FAQ says insurance is not required; the pricing article describes online access without insurance. [1][3]	Whether Hers will provide reimbursement paperwork or an outside-pharmacy option for your plan.
Which states are served?	Not all 50 states.	The limitation appears on the current program pages. [1][2]	The complete current state list.
Are labs required?	No universal lab rule is published in the standard flow.	The public process describes an online intake and provider evaluation, not a guaranteed no-lab policy. [1][2]	Whether your provider will request records, testing, imaging, or in-person evaluation.
How do cancellation and renewal work?	Hers publishes account and app cancellation instructions.	Current support says to act at least 48 hours before the next order date; an order already processing may not be stopped by canceling the subscription. [12][13]	The exact menopause-plan commitment, charge timing, refund result, and terms shown at your checkout.

How to read this table: “Verified” means the statement appeared in a dated primary source or an official drug label we opened. “Not published” means we could not establish it from public evidence. It does not mean the answer is automatically no.

That last column is why this page exists. Hers built a clean storefront and a useful education library, then left several transaction-level questions inside the intake and checkout flow. We cannot answer those for your individual plan. We can tell you exactly what to ask before money moves—and we do in the seven-question card.

Which progesterone product does Hers use?

Hers does not name the manufacturer or NDC on its public menopause storefront. Its progesterone drug page links to an older Bionpharma label for FDA-approved generic oral micronized progesterone, but Hers also warns that the page may not describe every progesterone medication. The exact bottle you receive—not the footnote—controls. ^[5][6]

The link trail is real and useful. It is also narrower than “Hers dispenses this exact bottle.”

What the Hers-linked label says

The exact DailyMed set linked from Hers describes:

• Bionpharma progesterone capsules under ANDA 200900.
• 100 mg orange capsules imprinted P-1.
• 200 mg red capsules imprinted P-2.
• Peanut oil among the inactive ingredients.
• A March 2018 label revision.
• An approved endometrial-hyperplasia-prevention regimen of 200 mg at bedtime for 12 days per 28-day cycle in nonhysterectomized postmenopausal women receiving conjugated estrogens tablets. ^[6]

What the current Bionpharma label says

DailyMed also carries a newer Bionpharma label revised in February 2026:

• 100 mg yellow capsules imprinted P-3, NDC 69452-233-20.
• 200 mg white capsules imprinted P-4, NDC 69452-234-20.
• Peanut oil remains an inactive ingredient.
• The approved indications remain prevention of endometrial hyperplasia with conjugated estrogens tablets and treatment of secondary amenorrhea. ^[7]

Label trail	100 mg capsule	200 mg capsule	Peanut oil	What it proves
Label linked by Hers	Orange, P-1	Red, P-2	Yes	What Hers’ current drug page cites for general information.
Current Bionpharma label	Yellow, P-3	White, P-4	Yes	Bionpharma’s current listed presentation as of February 2026.
Your actual prescription	Check bottle, pharmacy label, and leaflet	Check bottle, pharmacy label, and leaflet	Check inactive ingredients	The only product-level answer that governs what you received.

P-1 and P-2 are not universal “Hers progesterone” imprint codes. They identify the product in the older label Hers links. A current Bionpharma bottle may show P-3 or P-4, and another manufacturer may use different colors, codes, ingredients, and NDCs.

Hers’ own drug page makes the boundary explicit: its information comes from one Bionpharma label and may not be accurate for all progesterone medications. ^[5]

The technicality behind estradiol plus progesterone

The Bionpharma professional label’s approved endometrial-protection indication specifically names women taking conjugated estrogens tablets. Hers publicly pairs progesterone with estradiol pills or patches. A licensed clinician may prescribe an FDA-approved drug outside the exact labeled combination when clinically appropriate; that is an off-label use, not evidence that the drug is compounded. ^[1][2][7]

Want to see whether Hers will offer a plan that fits your situation? Start the Hers menopause assessment (provider link). Before accepting, ask for the drug name, strength, manufacturer, NDC, inactive ingredients, total charge, and renewal date.

Is Hers progesterone FDA-approved, compounded, or off-label?

The public evidence supports a precise answer: Hers links to an FDA-approved generic oral micronized progesterone label, and we found no public Hers menopause page identifying its progesterone pill as compounded. That still does not prove the exact product dispensed to every patient; verify the manufacturer and NDC on your prescription.

Four ideas get mashed together online. Keep them separate and the page becomes much easier to trust.

Term	What it means	What it means here
FDA-approved product	A specific finished drug product, manufacturer, strength, and label approved under an application.	The Bionpharma capsules in the DailyMed labels are FDA-approved generic products under ANDA 200900. [6][7]
FDA-approved use	A use described in that product’s approved prescribing information.	The label includes prevention of endometrial hyperplasia with conjugated estrogens tablets and treatment of secondary amenorrhea. [7]
Off-label use	A licensed clinician prescribes an approved drug for a use, combination, population, dose, or schedule not stated in that label.	Hers says hormone therapy for perimenopause may be prescribed off-label at provider discretion. Pairing this label’s progesterone with estradiol rather than the named conjugated-estrogen regimen is another product-label distinction. [2][7]
Compounded drug	A pharmacy or other legally permitted compounder prepares a medication under a compounding pathway; the finished drug is not FDA-approved. FDA does not verify its safety, effectiveness, or quality before marketing. [22]	Hers does not publicly identify the progesterone pill in this program as compounded. A compounded option must be labeled separately and never presented as equivalent to an FDA-approved product.

Off-label is not the same as unapproved. Compounded is not the same as off-label. “Bioidentical” does not mean risk-free, and it does not turn a compounded product into an FDA-approved one.

What changed with FDA hormone-therapy labels in 2026?

On February 12, 2026, FDA announced approved labeling changes for an initial group of six named menopausal hormone therapy products, including Prometrium. The agency said cardiovascular-disease, breast-cancer, and probable-dementia risk statements were removed from boxed warnings on those products. FDA’s broader initiative did not seek to remove the endometrial-cancer boxed warning from systemic estrogen-alone products. ^[14][15]

That is narrower than saying “FDA removed the black-box warning from all HRT.” It did not. Label changes are product-specific and roll out manufacturer by manufacturer.

It is also why the old-versus-current label trail matters. Hers currently links an older Bionpharma set, while DailyMed has a newer Bionpharma label revised in February 2026. Read the leaflet packaged with your actual product and check its revision date.

How to check your own bottle in four steps

1. Read the pharmacy label for the drug name, manufacturer, strength, and NDC.
2. Search the manufacturer and drug name on DailyMed.
3. Match the NDC, capsule appearance, imprint, and inactive ingredients.
4. Read the current warnings and patient leaflet for that exact product.

Do not use a capsule’s color alone to identify medication.

What is the difference between progesterone, progestin, and progestogen?

Progestogen is the umbrella term. Progesterone is the hormone molecule itself; oral micronized progesterone is formulated to improve absorption. Progestins are other compounds with progesterone-like effects, such as medroxyprogesterone acetate. Hers publicly lists progesterone, not medroxyprogesterone acetate, in its menopause kit.

Word	What it means	Example
Progestogen	The category covering progesterone and progestins.	Progesterone, medroxyprogesterone acetate, norethindrone.
Progesterone	The same hormone molecule produced by the ovary; “micronized” describes a formulation that improves oral absorption.	Prometrium and FDA-approved generics.
Progestin	A different compound that acts at progesterone receptors.	Medroxyprogesterone acetate.

The Women’s Health Initiative estrogen-plus-progestin trial used conjugated equine estrogens with medroxyprogesterone acetate. That is not the same formulation as estradiol with micronized progesterone. It also does not let this page promise that one regimen is universally safer. Route, dose, timing, health history, and the evidence for the exact products all matter. ^[7]

Do you need progesterone with estrogen?

If you have a uterus and use systemic estrogen, your treatment generally needs adequate endometrial protection with a progestogen or another clinician-selected strategy. If you have had a total hysterectomy, a progestogen is generally not needed solely to protect the uterine lining. Low-dose vaginal estrogen is a different clinical question. ^[4]

Estrogen stimulates the endometrium. Without adequate opposition, that stimulation can lead to endometrial hyperplasia and increase cancer risk.

The Bionpharma trial behind the progesterone label provides one concrete number: among women studied for up to three years, endometrial hyperplasia occurred in 6% of those receiving cyclic progesterone with conjugated estrogens and 64% of those receiving conjugated estrogens alone. That result is specific to the studied products, doses, and population; it is not a personalized risk estimate. ^[7]

Two situations people flatten into slogans

• After total hysterectomy: a progestogen is generally unnecessary solely for endometrial protection because the endometrium is no longer present. A clinician may still consider progesterone for another reason; “no uterus” is not permission to self-start or self-stop medication. ^[4]
• Low-dose vaginal estrogen: low-dose local therapy has much lower systemic exposure and is handled differently from systemic pills or patches. Do not transfer the rule for systemic estrogen onto every vaginal product. See our vaginal estrogen guide. ^[4]

For the complete clinical question, see do you need progesterone if you have a uterus?.

If you have a uterus and are considering systemic estrogen, the useful question is not “does the kit include progesterone?” It is “how does my plan protect the endometrium, and why was that regimen chosen?” Check current Hers availability (provider link; prescription requires licensed-provider review).

What dose of progesterone does Hers prescribe?

Hers does not publish a standard dose or schedule. The Bionpharma label it links contains 100 mg and 200 mg capsules, but its labeled endometrial-protection regimen is 200 mg at bedtime for 12 days per 28-day cycle with conjugated estrogens. Your Hers regimen may differ and must come from the prescriber and pharmacy label. ^[6][7]

That distinction prevents three common errors:

1. A listed strength is not a recommended dose. A label can contain 100 mg and 200 mg capsules while showing a specific 200 mg regimen for one approved use.
2. The linked label is not Hers’ formulary. It does not prove which strengths Hers currently dispenses.
3. The label’s regimen is not an instruction for you. A clinician may choose a different regimen based on the estrogen product, dose, bleeding pattern, stage of menopause, and medical history.

Two numbers still decode the prescription you actually receive:

• The milligrams in each capsule.
• The number of days or nights per cycle you take it.

Write both down. Ask what bleeding pattern is expected, what counts as abnormal, and when to message the provider.

The Bionpharma patient information directs bedtime dosing because dizziness and drowsiness can occur. It warns that a small number of people may experience marked dizziness, blurred vision, difficulty speaking or walking, or an abnormal “drunk” feeling. Do not drive or operate machinery if affected; contact the prescribing clinician about severe or unusual symptoms. ^[7]

What side effects and contraindications matter most?

The linked oral progesterone label lists headaches, breast pain, irregular bleeding or spotting, abdominal cramps or bloating, nausea or vomiting, hair loss, fluid retention, and vaginal yeast infection among common effects. It also lists serious contraindications, including peanut allergy for that product, unexplained genital bleeding, certain cancer histories, clotting disease, arterial events, and liver disease. ^[7]

What the trial table can—and cannot—tell you

The label includes adverse-event data from a three-year trial in which one group received cyclic progesterone plus conjugated estrogens and another received placebo. The figures below are not “Hers side-effect rates” and do not isolate progesterone from estrogen.

Reported event	Progesterone + conjugated estrogens	Placebo
Headache	31%	27%
Breast tenderness	27%	6%
Joint pain	20%	29%
Depression	19%	12%
Dizziness	15%	9%
Abdominal bloating	12%	5%
Hot flashes	11%	35%
Night sweats	7%	17%

Source: current Bionpharma progesterone label; 875-patient trial, with 178 women in the progesterone-plus-estrogen column and 174 in the placebo column. Clinical-trial rates may not reflect what happens in practice. ^[7]

The placebo differences do not prove that only one or two effects were caused by the medicine. The table describes reported events in a specific combination-therapy trial.

Tell the provider before treatment if any of these apply

The current Bionpharma label lists contraindications or important warnings involving:

• Peanut allergy or hypersensitivity to the product’s ingredients.
• Abnormal genital bleeding of unknown cause.
• Known, suspected, or prior breast cancer.
• Active or previous deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.
• Active or previous arterial thromboembolic disease, including stroke or myocardial infarction.
• Known liver dysfunction or disease. ^[7]

The exact decision belongs to a clinician who knows the full history. Do not use a general contraindication list to diagnose eligibility on your own.

The peanut-oil catch

The Bionpharma bottle labels reviewed say not to use the product if allergic to peanuts. Both the older label Hers links and the current Bionpharma label contain peanut oil. ^[6][7]

Here is the part Hers’ public pages cannot settle: we did not verify that every Hers prescription uses Bionpharma. That means peanut allergy is not proof that every possible Hers progesterone product is unsafe—but it is a hard stop on assuming that the Hers-linked capsule is acceptable.

Ask before taking the first dose:

“What is the manufacturer and NDC of the progesterone you are dispensing, and does it contain peanut oil or another allergen I need to avoid?”

If Hers cannot provide an appropriate product, an in-person clinician or a telehealth service that sends prescriptions to your chosen pharmacy may give you more control over the manufacturer. Winona publishes a peanut-free compounded progesterone cream, but that finished medication is not FDA-approved and is not an equivalent substitute for an approved oral capsule. ^[16][22]

Unexplained postmenopausal bleeding needs clinical evaluation; do not let a telehealth intake be the only place it is discussed. ^[17]

What does progesterone cost through Hers?

Hers advertises oral menopause medications starting at $79 a month with a 12-month plan and patch plans starting at $134 a month with a 12-month plan. It does not publish a standalone progesterone price, and those figures do not establish your checkout total, charge timing, renewal price, or the incremental cost of adding progesterone. ^[3]

The location of the price matters. We found the $79 and $134 figures in a Hers article updated December 23, 2025. The current menopause storefront itself does not itemize a progesterone price. A provider-authored article is useful evidence of an advertised starting point; it is not the same thing as a quote for your plan.

What the $79 figure proves—and what it does not

It proves:

• Hers advertises oral menopause medication from $79 a month.
• The figure is tied to a 12-month plan.
• Hers says eligible customers can access oral and transdermal estradiol and progesterone through the platform. ^[3]

It does not prove:

• Progesterone alone costs $79.
• Every oral estradiol-plus-progesterone plan costs $79.
• The 12-month plan is charged one month at a time rather than on another schedule.
• Your renewal price will be the same.
• Labs, shipping, taxes, or every service are included in your exact plan.
• Hers will bill your insurance.

Do not multiply $79 by 12 and publish the result as a confirmed annual bill. Before accepting, record four numbers from the actual checkout:

1. Amount charged today.
2. Total financial commitment.
3. Next processing or renewal date.
4. Cancellation deadline.

What you are paying for beyond the capsule

The decision is not simply “a $79 hormone versus the price of a generic at a pharmacy.” It is a bundled online-care model versus a visit-plus-pharmacy model.

With Hers, the public offer includes online intake, licensed-provider review, medication delivery if prescribed, unlimited provider messaging, regular check-ins, and treatment adjustments as needed. ^[1][2][3]

With a separate clinician and pharmacy, medication may cost less, especially with useful insurance or a discount program, but the visit, follow-up, testing, and administrative work are separate. Which model wins depends on whether you already have a clinician who will help, whether insurance is useful, and how much you value one online flow.

The public starting price is not your final quote. See current Hers plan information and confirm the medication list, amount due, full term, processing date, and cancellation rule before accepting.

Before you pay: the FTC lawsuit against Hims & Hers

On July 29, 2026, the FTC—joined by Utah and California through Los Angeles County Counsel—filed a federal lawsuit against Hims & Hers Health, Inc. The complaint alleges deceptive billing, difficult cancellation, and improper sharing of sensitive health information. The case is pending; the allegations have not been adjudicated, and Hims & Hers denies them. ^[9][10][11]

We could have left this out. It would have made the page shorter, and Hers is a provider we may earn money from. Leaving it out would also be the single least defensible choice on a page meant to help you decide whether to hand over a card.

What the FTC alleges

The FTC says the company:

1. Did not clearly disclose that consumers could be charged for prescriptions shortly after submitting an intake form.
2. Enrolled some consumers in recurring treatment without a chance to review or approve it after the intake.
3. Did not clearly disclose refill timing, making cancellation before the next charge harder.
4. Made the cancellation control difficult to find, including behind an “add/remove items” path.
5. Shared sensitive health information with Meta, Snap, and other third parties despite privacy representations. ^[9]

The complaint invokes the FTC Act, the Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act, and California and Utah consumer-protection laws. The FTC says it files a complaint when it has reason to believe the law is being violated and the case will be decided by the court. ^[9]

What Hims & Hers says

Hims & Hers responded the same day. The company said the complaint ignored evidence it supplied during the investigation, called the claims baseless, defended its privacy disclosures, and said it would vigorously defend the case. ^[11]

Four things to do before checkout

These steps apply to any auto-renewing telehealth service:

1. Screenshot the checkout screen. Save the amount due today, total term, renewal or processing date, medication list, and cancellation deadline.
2. Put the next order date in your calendar. Hers’ current support page says to act at least 48 hours before that date. ^[12][13]
3. Cancel through the account or app and keep the confirmation. Hers’ current instructions route users through subscription management; canceling a subscription does not stop an order already processing or shipped. ^[12]
4. Review privacy choices before submitting health information. Do not put sensitive health details into an unverified third-party form or a URL parameter.

We are not removing Hers from consideration because a pending complaint is not a finding that the medication or clinicians are illegitimate. But the allegations concern exactly the billing and privacy points a careful reader can document before proceeding. That changes the checkout advice, and pretending otherwise would damage trust.

Where is Hers not your best choice?

Hers is not automatically the cheapest or most flexible route. It is weaker when insurance coverage is valuable, when you need a named manufacturer before intake, when you want the prescription sent to your own pharmacy, when progesterone-only care is non-negotiable, or when your history calls for examination and coordinated in-person care.

The damaging admission

Hers does not publish a product-level progesterone formulary, a complete state list, a standalone progesterone policy, or your exact final price before assessment. If those details are your priority, a visit-based service or local clinician may be easier to interrogate before you commit.

But because Hers bundles intake, prescribing, delivery, provider messaging, check-ins, and adjustments into one online flow, it may still be the cleaner answer for a woman who wants convenience more than product-level control.

Cheapest, most flexible, and easiest are three different products. Pick the one you actually need.

Hers versus three different care models

Decision factor	Hers	Sesame Care	Midi Health	Local OB-GYN or menopause clinician
Care model	Cash-pay online plan with medication delivery if prescribed	Direct-pay visit; prescription may be sent to a pharmacy	Insurance-oriented virtual menopause care	Practice-dependent
Progesterone detail before visit	Oral progesterone is public; exact product is not	Clinician may prescribe progesterone after a live visit if appropriate	Clinician and formulary dependent	Clinician and formulary dependent
Pharmacy control	Hers-arranged delivery	Local or online pharmacy	Pharmacy benefit and plan dependent	Usually your pharmacy
Insurance	Not required; Hers markets access without insurance	Visit and medication costs are separate unless stated otherwise	In-network with many PPO plans; not participating in Medicaid/Medi-Cal and not covered by Medicare	Depends on practice and plan
Best fit	Bundled online access and delivery	Keep pharmacy control and pay for a visit	Use eligible PPO coverage with specialized virtual care	Need examination, imaging, biopsy, complex coordination, or local continuity

Source: Hers program pages, Sesame’s official progesterone and menopause pages, and Midi’s current insurance page. ^{[1][2][18][19][20]}

If bundled and simple is the priority: check current Hers menopause availability. If product control, insurance, or in-person evaluation matters more: use Find My HRT Path or compare online HRT providers that accept insurance.

Can Hers prescribe progesterone without estrogen?

Hers’ public materials do not give a program-level yes or no. Its education page says progesterone can be used without estrogen in some circumstances, while the menopause storefront presents progesterone mainly as protection for a woman with a uterus who is taking estrogen. Treat standalone availability as an intake question, not a settled fact. ^[1][8]

Those two pages are not necessarily contradictory. One explains what clinicians may do in medicine; the other describes the core Hers menopause offer. The practical question remains open.

Ask Hers this before you assume the program fits:

“I am asking about progesterone without estrogen. Does the menopause program evaluate that request in my state, which product could be prescribed, and will I be charged if the provider decides it is not appropriate?”

Do not frame the request around a dose you selected online. Tell the provider the symptoms, cycle pattern, medical history, treatment goal, and what you have already tried.

For the clinical evidence and provider options behind this question, see progesterone without estrogen for menopause.

What states, insurance rules, and lab requirements apply?

Hers says its menopause program is not available in all 50 states, but the public pages reviewed do not provide a complete state list. Insurance is not required, and Hers presents the program as access without using insurance. Its public flow shows an online intake and provider review but does not publish one universal lab rule. ^[1][2][3]

States

The current menopause and perimenopause pages repeat the “not available in all 50 states” limitation. A statement that the broader Hims & Hers platform reaches all states does not prove that this specific treatment program is available in all of them.

Your state is therefore a first-step availability check, not a footnote.

Insurance

Hers says insurance is not required and promotes the menopause program as a way to access treatment without using insurance. That supports describing Hers as a cash-pay route. It does not establish that every expense is ineligible for HSA/FSA reimbursement or that Hers can never provide documentation, so confirm those details for the actual plan. ^[1][3]

If you have a strong PPO benefit, compare the full cost of an in-network menopause visit and pharmacy copays before treating $79 as the obvious winner. Midi says it is in-network with many PPO plans, although coverage varies; it does not participate in Medicaid/Medi-Cal and is not covered by Medicare. ^[20]

Labs

No universal lab step appears in the public Hers menopause flow. That does not mean “Hers never requires labs.” A provider may request testing, outside records, an examination, imaging, or in-person evaluation based on the history.

Routine hormone blood tests are often not needed to diagnose typical menopause, and FSH and estradiol can be difficult to interpret because they vary across the menstrual cycle. Testing can still be appropriate when the diagnosis is unclear, symptoms suggest another condition, pregnancy is possible, menopause is unusually early, or a clinician needs to investigate a safety concern. ^[21]

Ask:

• Are labs required in my situation?
• Which tests, and why?
• Are they included in the price?
• Can I use recent results?
• What happens if the result needs in-person follow-up?

Is Hers a good choice if you specifically want progesterone?

Hers is a plausible fit for a cash-pay woman who wants an online menopause assessment, is open to oral progesterone if a clinician considers it appropriate, and values delivery plus ongoing messaging. It is a weaker fit when insurance, product-level control, standalone progesterone, or in-person diagnostics are central to the decision.

The HRT Index Verification Standard evaluates providers on five pillars, in this order: clinical legitimacy, care quality, medication fit, price transparency, and access. It is a documented method, not a numeric score.

Clinical legitimacy

Hers says prescription treatment follows review by a licensed provider trained in women’s health. The public program describes intake, evaluation, prescribing if appropriate, and continuing provider access. ^[1][2]

Editorial conclusion: the basic telehealth legitimacy signals are present. The exact prescriber, state license, pharmacy, and dispensed product still need transaction-level verification.

Care quality

The public offer includes unlimited online provider messaging, regular check-ins, and adjustments as needed. Hers does not publish a guaranteed response time, continuity-with-the-same-clinician rule, or detailed escalation pathway on the pages reviewed. ^[1][2][3]

Editorial conclusion: the convenience case is strong; continuity and service-level detail are less transparent.

Medication fit

Hers publicly lists estradiol pills or patches, oral progesterone when appropriate, and estradiol vaginal cream. The exact progesterone manufacturer, strength, and standalone policy are not public. ^[1][2]

Editorial conclusion: strong fit if you are open to the displayed routes and a provider-selected plan; weak fit if a particular brand, manufacturer, route, or progesterone-only plan is non-negotiable.

Price transparency

The provider advertises oral medications from $79 a month and patches from $134 a month on 12-month plans. It does not publicly itemize progesterone or establish the full applicant-specific charge, renewal, and cancellation outcome before checkout. ^[3][12][13]

Editorial conclusion: enough to compare a starting point, not enough to calculate your final commitment without seeing checkout.

Access

The program is online and includes delivery if prescribed, but it is not available in all states. A public state list was not found. ^[1][2]

Editorial conclusion: convenient where served, but state eligibility and the need for in-person escalation can disqualify the model.

Find yourself in the answer

• Uterus, cash-pay, want an online plan and delivery → Hers may fit.
• Need your PPO to do some work → compare an in-network provider first.
• Want your own pharmacy and manufacturer control → a visit-based prescriber may fit better.
• Peanut allergy → verify the exact product before taking it; the Bionpharma capsule Hers links is contraindicated.
• Want progesterone alone → ask Hers before paying; public policy is unresolved.
• Unexplained bleeding or complex cancer, clotting, liver, or pregnancy history → start with appropriate clinical evaluation, which may need to be in person.

Does Hers still sound like the right model after those filters? Start the Hers menopause assessment (provider link). A prescription is not guaranteed, and the right time to inspect the product and billing terms is before you accept them.

What should you ask before accepting a Hers plan?

Ask for the exact product, dose, reason for use, inactive ingredients, pharmacy, total charge, renewal date, and cancellation deadline. These questions close every material gap Hers leaves open publicly and turn a vague intake into a decision you can document.

The Hers Progesterone Question Card

1. What exact progesterone product would you prescribe—drug name, manufacturer, NDC, and strength?
2. Why is progesterone included or excluded in my plan, and what is it intended to do?
3. How many days per cycle do I take it, what bleeding pattern is expected, and when should I contact you?
4. Does the product contain peanut oil or another ingredient relevant to my allergies?
5. If I want progesterone without estrogen, will your program evaluate that request in my state?
6. What is charged today, what is the total term, when does the next order process, and what is the exact cancellation deadline?
7. Which pharmacy fills the prescription, what follow-up is included, and how quickly can I reach the prescriber if the plan needs to change?

Copy or screenshot the card. Not because a problem is guaranteed—because a screenshot costs nothing and settles what was shown at the time.

Got the seven answers? That is the right way to start. Begin the Hers assessment (provider link; licensed-provider review required).

What did The HRT Index actually verify?

We checked Hers’ current menopause, perimenopause, progesterone, pricing, cancellation, and refund pages; the exact DailyMed label Hers links; the current Bionpharma label; FDA’s 2026 label update; the pending FTC case; and Hims & Hers’ response. Unsupported product and checkout details remain labeled as unknown instead of being converted into promises.

What we verified on August 13, 2026

• Hers publicly lists oral progesterone as a potential menopause-plan component.
• A licensed provider selects the plan after intake and eligibility review.
• Hers most clearly describes progesterone for a menopausal woman with a uterus taking estrogen.
• Oral medications start at $79 a month with a 12-month plan; patches start at $134 a month with a 12-month plan.
• The program is not available in all 50 states.
• The Bionpharma label Hers links is an older March 2018 set with P-1/P-2 capsules and peanut oil.
• A current February 2026 Bionpharma label uses P-3/P-4 capsules and still contains peanut oil.
• FDA’s February 2026 action covered six named products, including Prometrium; it was not a blanket relabeling of every hormone product.
• Hers’ support instructions say to act at least 48 hours before the next order date to cancel or change a subscription.
• The FTC case filed July 29, 2026 remains pending, and Hims & Hers disputes the allegations.

What we could not verify and will not guess

• The exact current menopause state list.
• The exact progesterone manufacturer, NDC, strength, or pharmacy used for an individual patient.
• A guaranteed progesterone-only plan.
• A universal no-lab policy.
• A progesterone-only price or incremental add-on cost.
• The amount charged today, full commitment, renewal price, or individual refund outcome before seeing checkout.
• A guaranteed response time or delivery date.

The HRT Index Verification Standard

The HRT Index Verification Standard is the documented process by which we read every published price, separate FDA-approved from compounded, verify state availability and insurance, and re-check on a fixed schedule: top providers monthly and the full roster quarterly.

We evaluate providers on five pillars, always in this order: clinical legitimacy, care quality, medication fit, price transparency, access. We do not collapse those tradeoffs into an invented numeric score.

No fake testimonial

Hers’ broad review pools cover multiple service lines and do not establish a menopause-specific progesterone experience. We did not insert a hair, weight-loss, skin, or general-platform testimonial and call it menopause evidence. No customer quote can prove that a prescription hormone is effective or safe for the next reader.

Frequently asked questions about Hers and progesterone

Hers may prescribe oral progesterone after a licensed provider reviews your intake, but the exact product, dose, price, and eligibility are not fully published before assessment. These direct answers close the follow-up questions most likely to send a reader back to search.

Does Hers prescribe progesterone?

Yes. Hers lists oral progesterone as a possible part of its menopause plan. A licensed provider reviews the intake and decides whether it is appropriate. ^[1][2]

Does Hers prescribe oral micronized progesterone?

Hers’ materials discuss oral micronized progesterone and its drug page links to a Bionpharma oral micronized progesterone label. That does not prove every Hers patient receives that exact manufacturer. ^[5][6]

Is Hers progesterone FDA-approved?

The product in the label Hers links is an FDA-approved generic under ANDA 200900, and no public Hers menopause page reviewed identifies a compounded progesterone pill. Confirm the actual manufacturer and NDC before describing your dispensed product as FDA-approved. ^[6][7]

Is Hers progesterone the same as Prometrium?

Prometrium is a brand of oral micronized progesterone. The Bionpharma label Hers links describes an approved generic progesterone capsule, but Hers does not promise the Prometrium brand or that exact generic manufacturer.

What dose of progesterone does Hers prescribe?

Hers does not publish a standard dose. The linked and current Bionpharma labels contain 100 mg and 200 mg capsules; the labeled endometrial-protection regimen is 200 mg at bedtime for 12 days per 28-day cycle with conjugated estrogens. Your prescription may differ. ^[6][7]

Does Hers progesterone contain peanut oil?

The Bionpharma products in both labels reviewed contain peanut oil and are contraindicated for people allergic to peanuts. Because Hers does not publicly identify every dispensed manufacturer, verify the exact product and ingredients before taking it. ^[6][7]

Can I get progesterone from Hers after a hysterectomy?

A progestogen is generally not needed solely for endometrial protection after a total hysterectomy, but a clinician may consider progesterone for another reason. Hers’ public footnote describes progesterone most clearly for women with a uterus taking estrogen. ^[1][4]

Can Hers prescribe progesterone without estrogen?

Hers does not publish a clear program-level policy. Its education page discusses progesterone-only use in some situations, while the storefront frames progesterone mainly as part of an estrogen-containing plan. Ask before paying. ^[1][8]

How much does Hers progesterone cost?

Hers does not publish a standalone progesterone price. It advertises oral menopause medications starting at $79 a month with a 12-month plan. Confirm the actual total, charge timing, renewal, and cancellation terms at checkout. ^[3]

Does Hers take insurance for menopause care?

Hers says insurance is not required and markets the program as access without using insurance. That is a cash-pay proposition, not proof that Hers will bill your insurer or that every expense is reimbursable. ^[1][3]

Does Hers require blood tests?

No universal lab step appears in the published standard flow, but Hers does not promise that no applicant will need testing. A provider may request labs, records, imaging, an examination, or in-person care based on the situation. ^[1][2]

What states offer Hers menopause treatment?

Hers says the program is not available in all 50 states but does not publish a complete current list on the pages reviewed. Check state availability during the process. ^[1][2]

Does Hers prescribe progesterone cream or an IUD?

Neither appears in Hers’ public menopause kit. The published progesterone option is oral. That does not prove an unpublished option never exists; it means Hers has not publicly offered one in the materials reviewed. ^[1][2]

Can I cancel a Hers menopause plan?

Hers publishes cancellation instructions for subscriptions through the account or app and says to act at least 48 hours before the next order date. Canceling does not stop an order already processing or shipped, so confirm the exact plan terms and retain written confirmation. ^[12][13]

Where should you go next?

Your next page depends on what remains unresolved: provider fit, uterus status, progesterone-only evidence, local vaginal treatment, insurance, or total cost. Choose the branch that matches the decision you still need to make instead of reopening a broad search.

• Comparing providers from scratch → best online HRT providers for menopause
