>You bet! Here's the info about the progesterone drops: they are called "Progest-E Complex" and is distributed by Kenogen in Eugene, OR. 97405 I do not have a phone number or anything, as I got mine from the naturopath's office. I am sure you can get that via information. Hope this helps you out! Teresa

>Theresa I used to use the sublingual Progesterone oil, with wonderful results. I normally go several months between periods when I have cysts, but would begin to feel my uterus "plumping" up and starting to cramp within in a few days of starting the drops. Also helped the mood swings. Unfortuantely the manufacturer has stopped production and I can't find anyone making the oil. Can you tell me where you get yours? The cream doesn't seem to be as effective. Thank you.

Susan,
   I can relate to your message!  I am "mildly hypothyroid" just found out less than 6 months ago.  I KNEW something was not right.  Had to beg, beg and beg for the tests.  I was shocked to find out I was still within "normal" limits.  My doctor agreed to try me on a very low dose of thyroid hormone.  It has helped but not completely.  It has only been recently that I began to research PCOS.  Looking back I have had "hormonal issues" since puberty (like the facial hair thing)  I never even knew there was a name for this till recently...despite repeated complaints to my doctor as well as my ob/gyn. I will certainly have to fight to get any tests done I am sure.  However, the entire endocrine system is complex and very interconnected.  When something is amiss...it effects the other glands too, pitutary, adrenals, ovaries, etc.   Hang in there.  In good health,
Teresa
