Transgender women take gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) to affirm their gender identity and improve quality of life and well-being
progestogens (norethisterone (NETA)) in combination with estrogen will be explored
The review studied differences in formulations of combined HT and found that continuous combined estrogen progestogen therapy may have protective effects; however, risk may be increased with current micronized progesterone use and sequential norethisterone acetate use (89, 93, 94)

Sex hormones such as estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone are produced by the gonads
3-monthly HRT if you're having irregular periods – you take oestrogen every day, and take progestogen alongside it Progesterone
This means that progesterone exerts an overall protective effect on breast tissue
However, if treatment begins after menarche, norethisterone will achieve the same results and is cheaper and less

Progesterone has been approved for several indications including the treatment of anovulatory menstrual cycles, assisted reproductive technology, contraception during lactation and, when combined with estrogen, for the prevention of endometrial
Newer progestogens such as gestodene and desogestrel are structurally related to progesterone, but have greater specificity for progesterone receptors than the older progestogens

(2007), the combination of estrogen with progesterone or dydrogesterone was associated with no or less and non-statistically significant increase in the risk of breast cancer Rise in estrogen: Estrogen stimulation, cell proliferation and development of a thick endometrium
Estrogen is necessary for conception in a female or intersex body
