That is actually one of the reasons I chose BB. Breast cancer runs in my family not only on both sides but at a prety young age. I already new I was having the same problems my aunts did, but lucky for me in this day and age, I was able to find out they were all signs of being estrogen dominant, which in my opinion is what most likely led to my aunts getting breast cancer.
I really don't know how much progesterone BB provides, but I do know I haven't had the hormone problems other women have discribed on other forms of NBE that work by increasing the estrogen load.
I still keep my natural progesterone cream around so that if I have a month where I feel like it might be slightly off, I dab some on to even it back out again.
If you would really like to learn more about breast cancer and estrogen and progesterone, then I would suggest a book by Dr. Lee about breast cancer and hormones. You can find out more about it here, "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Breast Cancer, By Dr. John Lee"
Good Luck,
Mel
