De,
Funny you should ask that...I just took a quick trip to our health food
store (they do a great job of specializing in alternative therapies and are
extremely, *extremely* knowledgeable about female problems)...Cindy, the
owner, got out a book that had the leading homeopathic/alternative
specifications for ovarian cysts and endometriosis...and it's the same thing
for both. Cindy has actually had Endo, so she took me right to the stuff
the book talked about - a progesterone cream that you apply for about 3/4 of
your cycle. She said she's been using it for a number of years with much
success. Let's hope it does something - it sure wasn't cheap!! $25 for a 2
oz. tube!
And of course, I'm still going to see mom's OB/GYN the first week of Feb.
My NP said there's no reason why I shouldn't have been able to get pregnant
in the last 2 years. She feels that there must be some underlying problem.
I've always had a "feeling" that I couldn't have children...and have gone at
this pretty casually. Hubby is actually the one who wants a baby, I just
figure that if it happens, it happens. If not, it's not the end of the
world. Mom is really disappointed that we haven't given her a grandchild
yet (we've been married for about 7 years), especially since I'm an only
child. She asked me today if I would want to see a fertility doctor. I
don't...I've never had that incredible, overwhelming urge to have a baby as
some women do. I've just always been content to mother my dogs, so if I
can't have a baby, then that's what was meant to be. (When I was little,
seven or eight, some relative jokingly asked me how many babies I wanted to
have when I grew up...even now I distinctly remember saying, "Babies?! I'm
not having babies - I'm having puppies!" Maybe I'm psychic!)
I'll definitely ask about the progesterone tests. *I* know there's
something else wrong with me, I've just never been able to find a doctor who
didn't tell me it was "all in my head."
And congratulations, again! It's so incredibly amazing that you're okay -
I'm so happy for you!
