I don't think that Progesterone constricts the blood vessels according to what I read on http://www.natural-progesterone-advisory-network.com/. I am wondering where you read that? Below is what I read.

Too much estrogen in the body:

Builds up uterine lining Stimulates breast tissue Increases body fat Salt and fluid retention Depression, headaches/migraines Interferes with thyroid hormone Increased blood clotting Decreases libido Impairs blood sugar control Increases risk of endometrial cancer Increases risk of breast cancer Slightly restrains bone loss Reduces vascular tone

If I am estrogen dominant, what are the BENEFITS of using natural (bio-identical) progesterone? The progesterone benefits are as follows:

Maintains the secretory endometrium Protects against fibrocystic breasts Helps use fat for energy It is a natural diuretic Natural anti-depressant / mood enhancer Facilitates thyroid hormone action Normalises blood clotting Restores sex drive Normalises blood sugar levels Normalises zinc and copper levels Restores proper cell oxygen levels Prevents endometrial (uterine) cancer Helps prevent breast cancer Simulates osteoblast for bone building Restores normal vascular tone Necessary for the survival of the embryo Precursor of corticosteroids and other hormones Modulates other hormones helping to restore balance Promotes sleep May help improve libido Contributes to reducing anxiety and panic attacks Reduces estrogen dominance symptoms
