Hi NotSoBusty,
My understanding of stalling is that the anterior pituitary gland adds up all the sex hormones, and if the total is too high, it decreases LH. The lower LH then decreases all sex hormones, including estrogens.
So if estrogens are already too high, and somebody stalls, adding progesterone will only increase the total sum of sex hormone levels, and make LH even lower.
Don't assume you are ignorant on this, in fact I have had serious doubts about writing this answer to lostacres6. She is postmenopausal, and her LH is probably high to start with:

She's too young to get into any serious trouble now, but a consistent effort to keep LH high over the next 20 years may increase the risk for Alzheimer's Disease. So this is not as simple as my previous answer may look. I consider myself ignorant too in this area, but for you, it's easy to try out. Invest in a couple of LH fertile days test kits. Use PC, and see if LH drops.
