Saundra: I have used any one of the natural derived hormone supplements like Pregnenalone or DHEA for over two decades and with fatty liver as well as chronic active viral hep with only good effects. From what I know on Progesterone is also mostly or only benefits as concerns women. Only dangers or warnings I am aware of is the synthetic equivalent prescription estrogen. So if your doc is encouraging you to use the Yam derived progesterone this is a bonus as you can have regular checkups to determine the effects.
As for your liver, ALA is one of several nutrients with big benefits. The best approach is "broad spectrum" product that contains synergistic nutrients or herbs that have best overall healing outcomes. The website Liversupport.com has good basic info pages on most liver conditions and they sell specially designed products that have proven good results. Here is the link for your perusal:

Your doctor should give you urso. As a dietary supplement, you might want to try curcumin or milk thistle. I live in IN as well, and my wife has PBC. Take care.
