I was reading this article which mentions progesterone for HRT: https://www.facebook.com/notes/beverly-c...510263529/
Unless my T is still high (I'm guessing it's dropped over the last few months due to changes in sexual functioning), I'm guessing my doctor won't prescribe progesterone so I'm thinking about buying some progesterone cream (PC) online if she doesn't.
Has anyone had any experiences with either type of progesterone? And do you know whether the OTC version can be effective? It seems the OTC estradiol cream isn't commonly used here - people seem to prefer the herbal phytoestrogens so I was wondering about the PC.
I'm also wondering whether the PC will lower E or if it just lowers T. My levels are ok now, but not great so I'm concerned about that. However, I'm close to 2 years into HRT and with limited results.
