I was unfamiliar with this research. Care to provide a link, I'm always willing to learn?

And see... We're going to have to disagree here. Estrogen dominance is just as bad for BE as progesterone toxicity. The key is to raise them BOTH in a balanced way. The BEST way to control how much you raise your progesterone by is to use PC. Follow schedule directions on the packaging, but start small and slowly increase the amount as and if necessary. IF you have estrogen dominance ONLY.
Estrogen dominance does not necessarily have to cause a stoppage of the female cycle to already be at dangerous levels, btw. It depends on the individual.
