No, the progesterone detoxifies the estrogen in the cell. It inhibits aromatase production of estrogen, it inactivates estrogen receptors and it promotes the addition of glucuronic acid and sulfuric acid to the estrogen in the body. It adds glucuronic acid to the estrogen molecule making it water soluble right in any cell where it's both experiencing estrogen excess and experiencing the effects of progesterone. You have detoxified it before it even leaves the affected cells. Once it's detoxified and in the bloodstream, it has no estrogen effects and being water soluble leaves through the kidneys without further processing.
