Hi Niclole,
I do not meant to be a broken record if I asked you or suggested this
before, but what about natural progesterone cream?(health food store)Not
to use with Lupron though.
It sure seems to work for most endo women(see the endo natural site),
although with some it may take up to 3 months to start working.
For me it kicked in the 1st month but progressivly got better.
On my period today and not one slight cramp!!!!
I will pray for you ok that you find a path to healing.
