Brief Answer:
You can use both of them

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for your query.

Both these products can be used to postmenopausal women,as you.

Progesterone yam cream Choose a calendar day (e.g. the first day of the month) as day one. Day 1 - 25 apply one full pump of 'YAM ' daily.
Day 25 - 30 (or 31), stop using the ' YAM '.

Soymilk-it is used one water glass soymilk in a day ,usually in the morning.

Black cocosh- 20-40 milligram tablets of a standardized extract taken twice a day.
Some experts say that no one should take black cohosh for more than six
months at a time.

All the best
