Guest guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Hello, my name is Clair. Its my first post. I have some questions regarding womens health and fertility. I have poly-cystic ovarian syndrom. I have cysts on my ovaries and uterus. They are small, about 1 cm in size. I am having fertility issues because of this. My husband and I have been trying for 5 years and still no baby. I have tried fertility treatment, Clomid and my body did not take to the medication. We are at the invitro point, but I would like to know if there is anything I can do to increase my fertility and perhaps shrink the cysts. My doctor suggested raspberry extract, which I have been using, mostly in the form of tea. He says it is working some to help with the cysts. Along with the infertility problems comes the weight problems with the PCOS. I am insulin intollerant. It is not diabetes but it is close. The insulin intollerance has contributed to my weight gain. I've tried changing my diet and exercising and I've lost 20 pounds. But I still have around 80 pounds that I could lose. Are there any natural ways to help in loosing weight? I'm not looking for a miracle, but something that will help me get passed this hurdle that I've been stuck at for about 4 months now. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Hi Clair, You have sure been through the wringer, haven't you? Have you tried progesterone? Progesterone is crucial to fertility and being able to carry a pregnancy to term. If you are not ovulating, your body is not producing any progesterone at all. This allows your estrogen to take over, causing PCOS, infertility, and a host of other female problems. Dr. John Lee successfully treated PCOS and infertility by supplementing with a topical progesterone cream. Check out his books, especially " What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause " . I think it will explain a lot! You can also read about some of his work at his website: http://www.johnlemd.com His coauthor, Virginia Hopkins, has some info about PCOS: http://www.virginiahopkinstestkits.com/pcos.html http://www.virginiahopkinstestkits.com/priorovaries.html Shana Clagg Hormone Health Nature's Way http://health.HormoneHealthNW/ Achieve Inner Fusion http://www.kingoffruits.com On 7/25/07, Cira Tessa <death_after_midnight wrote: > > Hello, my name is Clair.
