well.. I've seen it several places.... Wallmart, Walgreens, GNC, also.. you can order it on line pretty cheaply... I just bought mine yesterday at wallmart. It was $12.00 for a 6 ounce jar.. should last me a while.
Anyways, I was on CD84 and saw that AF wasn't coming. Thanks to some helpful ladies on here. I opened the NPC (which I've had for about a year, my doc told me to chuck it but I held on to it thank God!!) and started it on Mon (Dec. 16th) along with Vitex and Dong Quai on the 17th (Tuesday). I was spotting yesterday (Dec. 18th) and woke up this morning with full blown AF!!
Using NPC depends on where your at in your cycle. I was nowhere! LOL I didn't know when AF would come so I planned on using it for 14 days and then stopping for 14 days. Well, AF came so fast I only need it for those few days. Here is what another Cyster wrote to me in a thread when I asked how to use NPC:
You use the cream for 14 days and then go off the cream for 14 days. More than likely AF won't show up right away - I took about 1 month before AF showed (was like on CD180 something!). You will continue this 2 wk on 2 wk off pattern until some sort of a cycle starts to form - I would say once you get your cycle lengths into the 30-40 day range then consider this to be an established cycle. Once this has occurred you use the cream AFTER O has been confirmed (by charting BBT's) and stay on it for 14 days or until AF shows. You will be amazed at how this stuff regulates your cycle! I just started AF on CD35!! I have NEVER had AF so regularly! So exciting!
Once your cycle starts to even out, what if you're still not ovulating? Do you continue with the 14 on and 14 off schedule or do you try something else?
I'm not trying to get pregnant with this right now, but I like having an option to induce AF if she's missing in action too long. Like right now, I'm around CD 50, and wouldn't mind getting a visit!
I'm hoping to see regulation of AF through diet, exercise, and Gluc...do you think it would be okay to try for success with those, but to use NPC occasionally if AF doesn't show and needs a little help? Thanks so much!
PS - What do you think it means that your AF showed up so soon? Whenever I've been prescribed Provera in the past, I always get AF on like the second or third pill out of ten and always wondered what that meant.
Can anyone tell me pros/cons of NPC and, say clomid or met? I have an appt on Monday and I have absolutely no clue where things will go from there. I am planning to use both Western medicine and TCM (accupuncture for sure, maybe herbs too). My TCM is fine with this (suggested it actually) but I don't know if I'll mention it to the doc. Mebbe I'll just mention the accupuncture.
I'm still gonna have my mom ship me some NPC regardless. It'll be good to have it if the meds (whatever I get) fail.
Well the thing is I'm not TTC yet either BUT I decided I wanted AF and O like a normal woman, every month! Not only am I taking the NPC but I am also taking Vitex and Dong Quai which have made many women with PCOS O!! I'm very excited about using it and have taken it like clockwork (knock on wood) everyday!
Also I'm really happy because last time I temped (about a year and a half ago) my temps were all over the place and hard to keep track of! Now, I've been temping since Monday and they've been 98.4 (which is only the highest one) and 98.1 and 98.0! So their really close together! I can't wait to see what it's like around O time and see if I actually O on my own!
Aah yes, to O like a normal woman! Wouldn't THAT be a wonderful outcome? Lol...
I'm giving myself until after the New Year to see AF and if not, I'm going to try NPC. Even if it DOESN'T make me O regularly, at least I can get AF to come and keep that part of my system in working order!
Keep us posted on how it works for you, I always like "real life" examples!
NPC help?
