Can I use ProgestaCare if there is family history of breast or uterine cancer?
Yes. It is recommended. Breast cancer and endometrial cancer are two cancers that are related to Gonadal (estrogens, progesterone, and testosterone) hormones. The cancers occur in tissues sensitive to these gonadal hormones Unopposed estrogen is the only known cause of endometrial cancer, though there may be other factors involved. Unopposed estrogens are also thought to contribute to breast cancer. Q. I am already taking hormones from my doctor, why should I switch to ProgestaCare A. Natural hormones are simply an alternative to hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Synthetic progestrone (known as progestins) has many side effects and synthetic estrogen can be dangerous to your health, especially if taken without natural progesterone cream. If someone is taking estrogen (HRT), a gradual step is to start ProgestaCare cream and gradually reduce the estrogen dose. Reduce estrogen by one-half every month for three months then discontinue use of estrogen. **If you are using birth control pill
