I've used NPC for quite a while now. It always brings on AF for me. Just a couple of things that I've noticed in this thread that I wanted to touch on...if you’re using the NPC while TTC, don’t start it until after you’ve confirmed ovulation as it can interfere with that. Since PCOS women typically have low progesterone in the luteal phase, that’s what we’re trying to replace using the NPC. I use it after I’ve confirmed ovulation, or if it’s an annovulatory cycle I just start it around CD 19 or 20 to bring on AF so I can try again. I use it for 14 days, then stop the cream. Usually I don’t even have to use it the full 14 days. AF most often comes after 12-13 days of using the cream. If you’re not TTC and just want to balance out your cycles, start it at CD14, use it for 14 days and stop if AF hasn’t come yet. If AF doesn’t come in 7-10 days, start another round of 14 days and see what happens. If you do happen to get pregnant, don’t stop using it without talking to your doctor about continuing using NPC or another progesterone supplement!
txstaci~ No, I have not seen an improvement in excess hair growth for myself, but I don't have a "lot" of excess...just the typical strays on my chin that I pluck, and a few on the sides of my face that I also pluck.
Hope2conceive~ I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you…hope you catch the eggie!
Nekke~ When using NPC while TTC, you don’t want to start it until AFTER you have confirmed ovulation either by OPK or BBT. It can interfere with ovulation if you use it before ovulation. I always wait until 3 days past ovulation to start it.
Magiccitymama~ I’ve never heard it can improve hair health. In what ways did that work for you? My hair is very thin, brittle and falls out very easily. I’ve been using NPC for years and never noticed a difference in my hair. Just curious to see how yours improved???
Soul cyster~ I rub it all over basically. Chest, inner arms, belly, soles of feet, sometimes I even use it in place of regular lotion after I’ve shaved my legs. I like to use it after a shower when the skin is warm and can absorb it a little better.
Hope I haven’t come off as “preachy”…I’ve just been a long time user of it and hope I can help others!
