Is it safe for me to take progesterone? history of receptor neg breast ca.

Safe,but pointless: But the long answer is that at age 56, there is no reason to take progesterone. The biological function of Progesterone is to stabilize the uterine lining so that its disappearance (from the functioning ovary each cycle) can precipitate menses. Do not take it. There is no biological basis for any benefit; the hormone has been the subject of much unsupported hype.
