I Have Had A Bio-identical Progesterone Cream Recommended To Me

I have had a bio-identical progesterone cream recommended to me (not progestin) because of symptoms and a test showing an imbalance in the ratio of my estrogen to progesterone. The first is normal, but on high side; the second is normal, but low side. Weight gain, bloating, anxiety up. Are these considered safe and where can I find articles that might point out nutritional methods that could work instead of cream (if any)?
