I read that women can take progesterone seperately and should consider thyroid if excessive doses don't yield results.
"and if estrogen is extremely high, even large supplements of progesterone will have no clear effect; in that case, it is essential to regulate estrogen metabolism, by improving the diet, correcting a thyroid deficiency, etc." RP- progesterone summaries
Should she continue with progesterone or stop and use thyroid first?
My interpretation of Peat is 1)cholesterol 2) thyroid 3) progesterone meaning first the cholesterol must be high enough for thyroid supplementation to even be helpful and the thyroid must be functioning adequately for the progesterone to be helpful.
That makes sense. The hard part is knowing when you've reached those milestones.
