She is wrong. I know people (many) who have had their levels go up using NPC. I'm sure she just doesn't know anything about it, because I know of many doctors who say herbs and other natural things "don't work." My dad's doctor wants him to take a drug to lower his triglicerides, but he has been using herbs to lower them. Early this year, they were at 1000 (VERY high) and last month, it was down to 480, and now it is down to 350 or so... using ONLY herbs, no drugs. His doctor says "quit using herbs and take drugs" but he won't do it.... why should he, when the numbers are coming down so well using herbs, that have no side effects??? The point is that YOU are responsible for your own health, so you should know what you are doing to your body!
The REASON the doctor's progesterone isn't good for you is because it is from an artificial source. NPC is from a plant source, and so your body will only use what it needs, and get rid of the rest. Do what YOU think is best. The progesterone drug will work faster than NPC. I've never had any that was vaginal, the only kind I've ever used was an oral drug, so that would concern me a little personally, but again, it is YOUR decision (not anyone else's, not even your doctor's!).
