Read the book "What your doctor may not tell you about breast cancer". The other book by the same group of authors is "What your Doctor may not tell you about perimenopause (another on menopause)" It will direct you to the natural compounds and give you the reasons why. I would stay far away from anything that is synthetic - which is what you will get from a main stream MD. Also the family connection to breast cancer only increases your chance by 7% - it is not a sure thing - ain't that nice to know! Once you start reading all you can on the subject you will find that soy may not be an harmless as it seems. Should you go the natural progesterone route I have gotten it from 2 different places (Vitamin Research Products in Carson City NV gave me no problems) one product caused my arms to itch like crazy.
Just a heads up - I didn't connect the itching until I gave a jar to a friend and she complained of upper body itching. Good luck - this hormone stuff is tough on a lady.

There is a soy estrogen replacement.
Estroven, maybe that would help.
