A member asked:

Can progesterone cream be used while on bcp?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: But remember that the birth control pill is providing high levels of Progesterone already, much higher than what your body would be producing. Your young, it would be safe in the short run, but there is nothing to gain unless ur doctor has another plan. Gd luck.
