Default Questions about NPC!

I've been reading a lot here and am trying to understand some things regarding PCOS (diagnosed 3/04) and progesterone.

Am I to understand that if you have PCOS then you are automatically low in progesterone and would need some type of supplementation (progestereone cream)? Or, do I need to have some saliva tests to check my hormone levels for progesterone? And if indeed I could benefit from NPC, what's the best creams out there?

Would appreciate any info on this.

Many but not all cysters have low progesterone in the 2nd half of their cycle, which causes irregular periods.
I would recommend getting your hormone levels checked. However if you want to try the progesterone cream it won't hurt anything. You would use it in the 2nd half of your cycle. Start after ovulation has occurred, and use it for 2 weeks. When you stop you should get your period.
HTH.
