I stand corrected. Just looked it up. My years in the business of breeding cattle interfered my brain works. Seems there are certain types that are progestin only for those who don't want extra estrogen but commonly it's both.
What is the difference of progestin and progesterone? Progestin is a blanket that covers types of hormones progesterone being one of them?
Progestin is a form of progesterone, the hormone that plays a role in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Progestin is used in several birth control methods.
progestin is synthetic and causes issues with bleeding; also, progesterone helps with retaining bone density- only certain progestins MAY help with bone density. It’s a BS way to tell women that they’re doing the right thing but many will later suffer with osteoporosis.
