Re: 17th day of cycle-NO PAIN-NO PROGESTERONE CREAM!

The cream costs me about $25.00 and lasts me about 2-3 months. It has
helped many women I speak to to live pain free thanks to the Lord above.
It did shrink my endo implants, shrunk ovarian cysts and kept my uterine
lining thin my doctor said, so it is a good thing!
Anyone is certainly free to do excision. I would not knock it. For me,
I was not led in that direction.
