There are no "herbal" sources of progesterone. Progesterone as sold in topical creams is synthesized in a lab from precursors in mexican wild yam, but it is a multi-step process that our bodies cannot duplicate. Even so, many on this site continue to take wild yam hoping against all logic and reason, that it will have similar effects as real progesterone.
Even Microgest is not "herbal", it is a pharmaceutical drug. Everything that I could find on progesterone suggests that it is the synthetic formulations (such as depot provera) that are mainly responsible for the more potentially dangerous side effects. Microgest apparently is bioidentical to progesterone produced in the body by the endocrine system and does not seem to cause the dangerous side effects.
In any case, do your research first before experimenting.
