You have not ovulated regularly while on the pill, since its purpose was to suppress your system. Because of that, your estrogen/progesterone balance is WWWAAAYYYY off. The heavy cramps, PMS, all the above is a result of this low progesterone level in your body. If you supplement with a progesterone cream in the second half of your cycle, you will up your pregnancy chances, lower your cancer risks, and feel AMAZING while trying for your second baby. Not too mention improve how your body utilizes vitamins/minerals, ward off depression by supporting your brain balance of serotonin, melotonin, and epinephrine (sp? sorry!). In other words, you will sleep like a baby (that is until your kids interrupt, right?!)
Not all progesterone creams meet the standards of research to get your body in its best balance as you were made to be. For more information, I'd love to talk with you. Write back and we can chat it up.
