Hormonal Imbalance - Progesterone or Chaste Tree Berry - Ideas

[CarolineB]

Hi,
I'm a 37 year old female with MGD and my integrative GP has discovered a hormonal imbalance (and I have corroborating symptoms). He has offered me a choice of progesterone or chaste tree berry to use to correct it. I've used the chaste tree berry over a year ago with good results and before dry eye symptoms started.
I don't want to take anything now that will worsen the dry eye. Does anyone have any insights?
Hopeful that restoring the hormones might help my eye symptoms...

Thank you

Wow. This is a hard decision Caroline. I took estrogen and progesterone replacement and ended up with estrogen and progesterone positive breast cancer, although I am quite a bit older than you. Whatever you decide, I would keep an eye on my hormone levels. Just something to consider.
