This is interesting because some scientists like Ray Peat think progesterone 
is protective against cancers. On the other hand, some breast tumors are 
progesterone dependent -- and therefore, ingesting more progesterone may not be a 
good idea for someone with progesterone positive breast cancer.  I know I have 
luteal phase defect -- my progesterone level has tested low -- but, I have 
long menstrual cycles and not a lot of bleeding and no bad cramping or anything - 
so I just figure maybe less progesterone is right for me.  I do have uterine 
fibroids and cystic breasts -- but again, my bleeding is not extensive.  I am 
curious whether dairy products spiked estrogen as well as progesterone levels. 
 Right now, I'm rather confused.  Dairy products are not paleo -- but when I 
am in a situation where the meat is way too lean, I've resorted to adding 
butter -- and sometimes I'll eat sheep cheese.  But I realize these things are not 
paleo.
