Lorie, there is a wonderful woman on the endonatural board named Debra
McDuffee who knows a ton about natural progesterone and sells one for
endo that I started almost three weeks ago. I have heard a number of
success stories. Keep in mind that for the possibly up to 3 cycles you
will be in worse pain because with the added progesterone your body will
try to compensate by making more estrogen. That will even out and I've
been told to hang in there because it's worth it. Debbie's info is
below and I wish you the best of luck... Maybe include this note in
your email as an introduction - i'm sure she will remember me.

>>>I am going to try natural progesterone cream made by my pharmacy. Has nyone tried it before? I really don't want to do Lupron to many side ef ects. I don't see the reason for BCP it has estrogen in them and even at a low dose I don't want to add any more estrogen in me. I found a good ebsite (http://www.endo101.com) about the progesterone cream it not only helps ndo but other things too, depression, low sex drive, PMS, and others. T is may be a good choice you might want to try out. I start my cream nex month and I will let you all know how things are going.
