I am interested in taking the Triest hrt and wondering if Pro Gest cream would be an appropriate natural progesterone to use along with it. I also prefer to not have periods and understand that continual use of progesterone would give me that result. Thank you, Charlotte Dear Charlotte, Thank you for visiting our website.

Progesterone has a number of roles relative to menopause.
A recent clinical study evaluating the effectiveness of topically applied progesterone cream demonstrated a statistically significant decrease in hot flashes reported by postmenopausal women. Progesterone naturally balances estrogen, and has been shown to be necessary for optimum estrogen utilization. The presence of progesterone in the body may also sensitize estrogen receptor sites, enabling circulating estrogen to work better. The general recommendations should be confirmed or modified in concert with your health care provider. Please keep in mind these are general recommendations that may need to be adjusted for your specific situation.
