Ok I’ve been following a community on the fb for a long while that talks about most women being deficient in progesterone and how when you start taking progesterone it forces the dormant estrogen out of your tissues and into circulation in your body. So naturally, the progesterone will raise your estrogen. And because of that, estrogen shouldn’t be supplemented because it will then be way too high.

I saw a new provider and she gave me bioidentical progesterone and estrogen. She assured me the estrogen is safe and that I need it based on my symptoms. But now I’m second guessing.

Does anyone have any perspective on this?
