Q: 

Should I get off progesterone or increase my dose?

Please help! I tested low in progesterone last spring. Ive been using the cream for many months now. The entire time I've had very sore breasts and I've been steadily putting on weight. I read a lot about estrogen dominance and (with my doctors permission) raised my dose from 100 to 300mg. Problem is, after a month at this higher dose I'm still feeling the same terrible side effects, weight gain, big sore breasts. I'm wondering if I should get off the progesterone completely or should I raise the dose even higher? How high of a dose has been used in the past? Any advice is appreciated!!
