YES!!! Your observation re your fibroid growth with the progesterone
appears to confirm Dr. Rick's explanation of progesterone's effect on
fibroids, "... it is the progestin more so than the estrogen that makes
fibroids get larger." See this article of his as well as a list of his
many articles -- very smart doc!

What is the name of the progesterone cream you are using? Is it a gel or
cream? Did you notice any change in your complexion as a result of using
this cream? What about a change in weight? Gain or loss? Muscle or fat?
Sorry about the many questions, I'm just trying to decide whether to
give the stuff a try for myself -- thats why I'm curious as to the brand
you are using.
