BJ or anyone else with an answer -- I've been off of the cont. bc pill for four months. I still have not had a period. According to the specialists, all endo has been excised -- but I am experiencing loads of lowback/sacral ache/pain. Would it be safe/smart for me to just buy a tube of progesterone cream and start using it, or would I be setting myself up for further problems? I'm aware that the gyns say one must first have a period before getting back on the bc pill, so I thought that the same may hold true for the progesterone cream? Also, would the progesterone cream cause oily skin/acne and/or hairloss? I am having a terrible time. Would appreciate any advice.
