[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Progestin and progesterone is not the same and the latest findings are that micronized progesterone seems much safer—but more data is needed.[/quote]

Here’s the citation:
Conclusion: Although menopausal HT use appears to be associated with an overall increased risk of breast cancer, this risk appears predominantly mediated through formulations containing synthetic progestins. When prescribing menopausal HT, micronized progesterone may be the safer progestogen to be used.

+1,000 we’ve known for awhile progestins have issues and are not the same as progesterone (in the US, prescribed as brand name Prometrium)(and that taking via skin/vagina avoids liver metabolizing them into other metabolites/forms). Yet progestins are still what we hock to younger women as patentable and expensive BCPs. And apparently the new drugs to treat post partum depression aren’t normal estradiol and progesterone and are crazy chemical synthetic versions of the real hormones. But OP, keep railing against the only form of bioidentical hormones, hrt, bc that helps women… lemme guess, you’ve never taken hrt. [/quote]
