What do you imagine this means? You would be a better shill for your wife if you had some understanding of the subject.

Progestin is a synonym for progesterone. What, exactly, do you imagine is the difference? "Natural" vs. "synthetic" is not a difference, except to magical thinking.

Why not simply direct us to the Phase 3 clinical trial that supports your claims?

Surely, a guy writing on a technical topic knows that anecdotes, no matter how numerous, mean nothing, and "a conjugate of 39 substances" is meaningless, and natural vs. synthetic is a difference without a distinction.
