My endocrinologist has recently put me back on progesterone. There's a new study claiming that it "should" be part of hormone therapy for bone health, etc... They also say it is essential for softening the breast tissue... and pillowy boobs can't be all that bad. The other finding that I found interesting was the inference that Estrogen dominance is possibly responsible for widening of the mid-section, and progesterone actually helps with metabolizing fat around the waist while doing nothing to metabolize fat in the hips or bust area. If it is true, hormonally induced hourglass figure... sounds like reason enough to give it a shot. I personally prefer having progesterone in my medicine cabinet. I feel much better with it than when I was on Estradiol alone. And hey, If I get a better hourglass... all the better.
