Re: Can Natural Progesterone Cream Help Achieve Pregnancy

I just asked my doc for progesterone cream, but for shrinking cysts, he
also mentioned that it definitely can't hurt in aiding pregnancy when
used correctly. You are supposed to use it after ovulation until your
period starts b-cuz that is when your own progesterone is high.
