I feel like I am at a point in my transition where I might benefit from adding progesterone into the equation. However, I have heard wildly different opinions on whether it has any impact at all, and criticism of generally available creams on amazon for not being the same as human progesterone, since they are often derived from plants.

What do you girls think? Are they junk, or are there some out there worth trying?

    Gotcha gotcha. Did you have an easy time getting a prescription for it? I have heard some health workers are hesitant to prescribe it because of the lack of clinical studies regarding it

      Yeah, I had some pushback, but I mentioned it a few times and accepted any possible risks. I think it’s going to depend a lot on your doctor but I mentioned breast growth, hip size, and sex drive as motivating factors for taking it. I’ve been on it for around 4 years now.
