Progesterone (bioidental) vs Progestin (synthetic) role in controlling/preventing endometriosis

Hello.

I’ve had endo excision including removing my uterus and ovaries so I’ve been in surgical menopause and trying to figure out if I should stay on progestin or try progesterone. My questions are: 1. can progesterone also be helpful in controlling/preventing endo? 2. is it “safer” for someone with an endo history to take progestin over progesterone?
