(I am not a big fan of injections, nor am I trying to conceive). I am hoping the naturopath will look a little further into the situation (i.e., do some more testing on my hormones) and help me control my symptoms naturally. After reading these forums, though, I am convinced progesterone cream will help me once I get off bcp. Did your naturopath happen to mention anything to you about progesterone to control your cycles and help with PCOS symptoms? |
No, my naturopath did not mention progesterone, however, I am doing some research myself into it. There's a bit about Natural Progesterone Cream (NPC) on the Alternative section.
Hope your appointment goes well!
