Hey Kara, Thanks for the info on natural progesterone cream. I read about making sure you get the right dosage and apply it in the right spot so it can be absorbed. I may give it a try if I ever need progesterone before I move to something more serious.

I'm just so sick of doctors! The last time couple times I've gone to the doctor, I was there 2-3 hours (no joke) with only 15 minutes actually spent with doctors. Argh.

The more I am learning, the more I believe in the imporance of treating the whole person, and I'm finding my doctors lacking in that respect. No one treating my PCOS has ever stressed the aspect of diet to me, which I find shocking in retrospect. Granted, my weight has been pretty steady (within 10 pounds) for the past 10 years. Still, you would think it would come up. Doctors are just too ready to hand you a bottle of pills and send you away.

I suppose I am just learning the importance of being your own advocate!

MaryMichael - I will check that book out! Thanks!

Have a good weekend!


Ashley
