Are there any side effects associated with progesterone cream to treat male pattern baldness?

habala
I am a 23 year old male with early signs of male pattern baldness. I recently went to see a transplant surgeon who recommended I start using progesterone cream(concentration 25mg) and a topical cream infused with retinoic acid and minoxidil. What side effects should I expect from this treatment?
