Finally, a new cycle.

Took a while of NPC (natural progesterone cream) and upping the dosage of it, but FINALLY I got my period! Sad that that makes me happy, eh?

It also made me excited because this is the first cycle that I get to use my new cloth pads. Oh man, they are so comfy. So much better than disposable pads. We'll see if I'm still saying that when it comes time to launder them, but I don't see it being too difficult.

  1. Congrats, Valarie!
    What dosage are you using?
    And have you noticed any side effects?
    Much love!

  2. I've been doing 60 mg each night. Doing it once a day instead of twice a day (40 in the morning and at night) at the 60 mg doseage worked the best for me.

    This is the cream I use: http://www.amazon.com/Progesterone-Creme-oz-Pump-Bottle/dp/B002ES7DU6/ref=sr_1_7?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1345324646&sr=1-7

  3. Oops, side effects. I haven't really noticed any. I get headaches regularly so it's hard to tell if it is the cream causing them or just me being me. Sometimes I get a little cranky when I'm on it, but not too bad.
