Cate:
Your question definitely caught my eye! I have been posting questions on
this site for a long time...I have had endo for 10 years and have
suffered from laparoscopies, lupron, etc... My father was searching the
internet for some different remedies and came across a site about
progesterone cream. I can't tell you for sure if that's what helped me,
but I am 25 years old and have had several doctors tell me that I would
never get pregnant and that I even needed a hysterectomy. After a month
of using the cream...I AM PREGNANT! I am 3 and a half months along and
have no signs of difficulty. I wish you the best of luch - let me know
if you need anything else :)
