Hello.
Not sure where to start really.
I have been looking at a lot of the rp stuff and although I find it quite a lot to absorb, it makes so much sense!
Just wondered if I could get a little advice if possible please?
I'm 41, have a 2 1/2 year old toddler and really want another. Had fertility issues before my first pregnancy with endo, cysts,fibroids etc. had a laparoscopy to remove some endo and another op to cyst. Was veggie for 20 years. Started to change diet and got preg but mc at 6 weeks. Worked with naturopath and had lab tests revealing stage three ad fatigue and very low progesterone. Had supps, diet change and successful preg 6 months later. Been preg twice since but chemical preg and last July only got to 9 weeks and mc again, was taking progest e at the time also. Had test since for levels and it said progesterone ok and oestrogen a bit high. 2 months after mc, my cycles have become an absolute nightmare. I have cramping straight after ovulation even though I'm taking one level of projuven in the morning and heaped in the evening, this is natural also. I have had pain in my right side for about 3 months and been to docs to arrange a scan as not getting any better. I know cysts come and go. I did an ovulation check on day 13 and it didn't detect any lh surge so I'm not ovulating either. Doctor told me that is to be expected at my age! I told her I'm not throwing in the towel, especially considering I was pregnant 7 months ago!!
I know this is mainly down to oestrogen dominance but I really need some advice as to how to stop it so that I can get pregnant again. I notice aspirin is used a lot ? Also I have read everywhere on web that natural progesterone is a great way to shrink cysts so why is it not working for me?
Your advice would be greatly appreciated as I'm feeling so down with all of this happening now.
Ps, although I'm new to the rp diet I have been eating mostly well with mostly fresh foods and no alcohol etc.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post xx
