Not good. Estrogen, testosterone, progesterone and DHEA are all best when administered topically (applied to the skin). Bioidentical (versus synthetic) are far, far superior.<br> Read Suzanne Somers' books on this topic. Also Johnathon Wright, MD has a great book on hormones. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/124562/estrogen-in-oral-contraceptives-and-hormone-replacement-linked-to-ibd-are-you-st/131704#131704 Answer by Lynn for Estrogen in Oral contraceptives and hormone replacement linked to IBD?

It did work for it's intended use like a champ! </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/124562/estrogen-in-oral-contraceptives-and-hormone-replacement-linked-to-ibd-are-you-st/145209#145209 Answer by primallykosher for Estrogen in Oral contraceptives and hormone replacement linked to IBD?

I believe it was from cottonseed oil which isn't paleo at all. But it had far less side effects. It was killed off like most male birth controls tend to be. </p>
