I don't intend to step into a beehive here. Dr. Lee's work is popular in the lay press, but it is not (to my understanding) scientifically proven. Most gyns do not give a whole lot of credence to progesterone cream's effectiveness, and thus we don't prescribe it.
As a separate issue, many, many docs do not wish to give the appearance of promoting treatments/drugs that are for sale in their office, as this might seem improper.
