Glad your period ... By: saritasquinta. on 26 Apr 12, 23:59:52 Glad your period stopped at least for? a few days but it sucks that it started up again. Don't feel bad about the weight gain, considering all you're going thru one pound is not so bad. By the way do you take iron or vitamins? Just wondering because of your condition. The last thing you want is become anemic.
This has been my experience, all women with Endometrial Hyperplasia will of course have different experiences. I made this video a few days ago, and since then I have had success with the high dose of progesterone cream. I will do a whole new video on that soon! Thanks for watching! Please leave any questions or comments you may have.
No, they didn't ... By: FaithShekinah. on 20 Apr 12, 14:02:52 No, they didn't mention it to me. But I do know weight can be a contributing factor, how much, I'm not sure. I personally don't think it's the sole, or main thing that would cause something like this. If you take a look at the links I posted in the description box on my other Endometrial Hyperplasia video, you might be able? to find out what's going on with you, or at least get a better idea. I hope things get better for you!
I am going through ... By: MrsGuzman19. on 20 Apr 12, 09:31:18 I am going through the same thing..and? they tell me it is becasue Im over weight..Did they mention anything like that to you?
You're so welcome! ... By: FaithShekinah. on 19 Apr 12, 13:29:44 You're so welcome! I was going? to have a D&C at one time, but my dr decided it wasn't necessary and just put me on birth control instead, which didn't help. I hope the D&C helps you. If you haven't yet, take a look at my first video on Endometrial hyperplasia, I posted several links in the description box that might help you better understand what you're going through. I've been lost and confused with this for so long, I know how that feels. Good luck!
Thanks. It does ... By: FaithShekinah. on 19 Apr 12, 13:26:03 Thanks. It does suck to go through this, but it could be worse. I'm just determined? to do something about it and get better!

My doc recommended taking the pill to control it but as it has stopped I am not taking it. So your doc doesn't think it is cancer or anything, that's my worry. It is a bit mad isn't it? I have never heard of it.
Good Luck with the ... By: gizibop. on 05 Apr 12, 23:58:01 Good Luck with the weight loss! I am kinda doing the same thing. I lost over 100lbs but recently gain some back, but now trying to get it back off and some? more. Check out my vlog "Hungry To Vlog" if you want. Good Luck!
Week 1 of my weightloss journey in review.
http://cronometer .com/
http://www.liveex ercise.com/ The workout program I've started out with is the Toning one.
Thanks for watching. Here's to hoping the soy isoflavones work the way I need them to and give me a normal AF and cycle this cycle. I will keep you all updated on how this plays out!
Yes it is when your ... By: mssensational. on 24 Mar 12, 14:48:05 Yes it is when your ttcing. I took 200mg of soy this cycle day 1-4 and on day 5 I took 240 mg. Wishing you tons of baby dust.?
Thanks for the ... By: FaithShekinah. on 24 Mar 12, 13:28:13 Thanks for the comment. Yeah, from? what I've researched, the dose needs to be a high dose in order to induce ovulation, like 100 mg or more. I haven't had a CBC in a while, that's something I need to look into. Thanks!
It is horrible to ... By: FaithShekinah. on 24 Mar 12, 13:26:08 It is horrible to go through something like this! I've tried bc in the past, didn't help, it was a really high dose and made me so sick. I'm glad it worked for you though :) Yeah, I think the? workouts will really help too.
Thanks! Yeah, I've ... By: FaithShekinah. on 24 Mar 12, 13:23:11 Thanks! Yeah, I've researched it like crazy. And plan on researching more and more. I? think it's at least worth a try though.
So sorry to hear ... By: mssensational. on 24 Mar 12, 10:47:53 So sorry to hear about the long? cycles. I'm into the more natural things as well. I say research the soy and go from there. Good luck to you.
omg. I remember ... By: FamilyAndLife. on 24 Mar 12, 02:56:47 omg. I remember when I bled for 2 monthes straight.. it was horrible!! my doctor put me on birth control and it seemed to fix the issue.. i did that for 6 monthes and havent had a problem since. keep up the workouts! it should help af? (hopefully)
I did? a few cycles ... By: jcasey1005. on 24 Mar 12, 01:48:01 I did? a few cycles of isoflavones I never ovulated on them but my cycles were not as long as they normally are. I took a low does though.. 40 mg I think, I feel like a should have upped the dose but I never did. Have you had a CBC recently?? I had super long AF like you and it cause my hemoglobin count to be so low I needed a transfusion. Hope everything works for you.
Thank? you! By: FaithShekinah. on 25 Mar 12, 15:42:53 Thank? you!

Great job on trying ... By: sheenashine17. on 22 Mar 12, 23:37:50 Great job on trying to get healthy. Ahhh sugar and carbs are the devil, but soo delicious! I'm addicted to sugar too. Try eating fruits when you're craving sugar, so at least you are getting the? natural kind. That's great that you are eating breakfast, when I wake up in the morning I'm starving, so I don't know how people can skip it. Your AF sounds evil! Hopefully all the healthy changes you are making will help. :)
Sorry it's been so long since my last video. I promise I will get better about that. This is just an update on what's been going on with me, and a few changes. From this video on my vlogs will no longer be titled as TTC Vlogs, but will now be titled as Pre-TTC Vlogs.
Thanks Sheena! I ... By: FaithShekinah. on 21 Mar 12, 05:42:01 Thanks Sheena! I don't plan on leaving again, lol! The last video I posted before this goes over the 3 supplements the naturopathic dr put me on. I am going? to make another video on what I'm taking soon though.
Thanks! I ... By: FaithShekinah. on 21 Mar 12, 05:38:54 Thanks! I definitely won't stay away for that? long again! :)
So so happy you are ... By: sheenashine17. on 20 Mar 12, 23:05:20 So so happy you are back! It sounds like you have a great plan to save money and get healthy. It's great that you know what you want to accomplish before having a baby. Can you do a video on the herbs/holistic supplements you are taking? I still want to make an appointment with a naturopathic doctor...Best of luck to you hon and I can't? wait to see your videos. You better not leave again lol :)
Its great seeing ... By: mssensational. on 20 Mar 12, 14:52:12 Its great seeing you again. Don't stay gone away so long. Lol . Glad that you have a plan going for you now.? Good luck with the herbs.

I'm curious to see ... By: grvypearl. on 24 Oct 11, 18:28:23 I'm curious to see how these work for you. I'm sick and tired of doctors not being able to do anything and have been researching a more natural path. It would be nice to get pregnant without nasty medications. I have? my fingers crossed for you.
Boo to AF on your ... By: sheenashine17. on 13 Oct 11, 19:09:09 Boo to AF on your anniversary. So cool that? you were able to go see the naturopath doctor, hopefully you'll get some great results from the new supplements! xo

Me and my husband have split up and i'm working on getting my divorce. But i'm still here to support you ladies.. I will be ttcing again trust me.
Thanks! The kind I ... By: FaithShekinah. on 20 Sep 11, 17:18:43 Thanks! The kind I use is Emerita pro-gest natural progesterone cream. I get it from either amazon or vitacost, I get the bigger 4 oz size cuz it's a much better value. I? could've sworn I was subscribed to you, but I guess not. I just subscribed though! Good luck to you too!
Hi Erica so good to ... By: mssensational. on 16 Sep 11, 22:38:57 Hi Erica so good to see your pretty smile. That was a great update. I too am Estrogen dominance, this was found out by my own research as well. When i start TTC again I will purcahse some progesterone cream as well and get thing in control. Could you please tell me what kind you use, where you purchase it from and the? cost? Thanks and good luck with everything. Missed you.
Thanks for the ... By: FaithShekinah. on 16 Sep 11, 19:54:01 Thanks for the great comment Sheena! Estrogen dominance is typically a PCOS? thing. I basically just found out by doing tons of research. It became pretty apparent that my estrogen is higher than it should be. Usually women with anovulatory cycles are that way because ovulation never happens, therefore there's no spike in progesterone and the estrogen production is unopposed and allowed to run rampant. That's how I understand it at least. I hope to see an update from u soon!
You are looking ... By: sheenashine17. on 15 Sep 11, 23:31:09 You are looking lovely as? usual Erica, I'm so glad to see you back! congrats on the job and that is so awesome that you are going to be getting acupuncture treatment again. I'm still getting it too, and I must say I think I'm addicted lol.. So cool that you found a Naturopathic dr I really want to go to one too. How did you find out that you were estrogen dominant, is it a pcos thing? I cant wait to hear how your appts go. :-)
I meant by? pill or ... By: FaithShekinah. on 19 Aug 11, 16:59:03 I meant by? pill or natural progesterone cream.
Women with ... By: FaithShekinah. on 19 Aug 11, 16:58:22 Women with anovulatory cycles, especially back2back have a higher chance of it? happening cuz of the continuous estrogen production & very low progesterone production. Progesterone therapy is one of the main treatments,by pill of natural progesterone cream. That's why I've induced AF with progesterone cream in the past, just so my lining won't get thick. This past time though, I was taking aspirin for a toothache, aspirin is a blood thinner so I think it contributed to it.
Just the PCOS. What ... By: FaithShekinah. on 19 Aug 11, 16:53:08 Just the PCOS. What happens is if I don't get AF monthly my uterine lining gets really thick and when AF finally does appear I have that? extra lining to get rid of. That's what my Dr told me at least, when they did an ultrasound. The medical term for it is Endometrial Hyperplasia and when the ultrasound showed a thick lining they did a uterine biopsy to confirm it.
Thanks? hun! By: FaithShekinah. on 19 Aug 11, 16:43:48 Thanks? hun!
Have you been ... By: sheenashine17. on 19 Aug 11, 02:40:16 Have you been diagnosed with anything that causes your long AF's? I totally understand how you feel about getting down...it gets hard. I just found out my 19 year old cousin is pregnant and I'm like seriously?1? It's really hard when everything else in life is good and the perfect timing for a baby is right now but it isn't happening...I'm excited you'll be joining facebook! Sending you lots of love and baby dust? :)

Hey Erica, I hope ... By: AnasJourney. on 22 Jun 11, 03:48:20 Hey Erica, I hope you get your BFP soon. I hate OPKs too, they are tricky to read sometimes. Charting temps? will def help pinpoint the ovulation date. :)
Thanks. It just ... By: FaithShekinah. on 07 Jun 11, 15:42:07 Thanks. It just sucks that my thermometer might be going out this cycle. That's what is really bugging me. I definitely wanted to chart my temps as a back up/confirmation method. hopefully next cycle will work? out better.
You can always ... By: renator88. on 07 Jun 11, 11:30:32 You can always confirm it with charting. But I would be careful with that and having pcos. I had many peaks where I know my body was trying to ovulate but would fail everytime.? It's really fustrating. I didn't use opks nothing just charted my temperatures and I know for a fact that's 100% accurate!!!!! Good luck!!
Thanks for looking ... By: FaithShekinah. on 06 Jun 11, 20:53:33 Thanks for looking at my chart. I guess I'll see how the next few days go. thanks!

Yeah, I love ... By: FaithShekinah. on 28 May 11, 02:14:44 Yeah, I love learning belly dancing. i just think? it's fun, lol. And its origin and history has a lot to do with fertility and pregnancy so I just thought it would be the perfect fit! Swimming would be a great exercise, the bathing suit, not so great for me, lol. At least not right now :)
I'm so happy you ... By: sheenashine17. on 27 May 11, 19:21:22 I'm so happy you did this video! That's great that you're working on getting in shape. Honestly I hate sweating too..lol ..swimming is great exercise cuz you don't feel the sweat, but then there's the? whole having to wear a swimsuit thing.....:-( Belly dancing is a great idea, I tried it a long time ago, and now I want to try it again, thanks for suggesting it. :-)
Just want to make a quick correction on something I said about the OvaCue! If you want to know more about OvaCue you can go to http://www.ovacue.co m and check out their site.
You can do it! I ... By: renator88. on 26 May 11, 20:07:57 You can do it! I started slowly, lost slow but knew that was the healthiest way. I lost 25 lbs. I know I will need to strickly watch my weight durring this pregnancy so im not back where i was. So far im 9 weeks and have not gained weight so I hope to not gain to much durring this pregnancy. Metformin did help with my hormones but its a pretty nasty drug for side effects. But its definatly great. I would not? want to take it forever, but for weight loss and TTC I recommend it.
I'm glad metformin ... By: FaithShekinah. on 26 May 11, 01:40:48 I'm glad metformin worked for you! I would consider that natural ovulation as well, since metformin doesn't acutally stimulate ovulation, it just helped your body get to the point of? ovulating. I need to really work on losing weight. I just hate exercising! I'm determined to get better about it though!
I agree, But i dont ... By: renator88. on 25 May 11, 22:01:12 I agree, But i dont feel i? rushed it because i took metformin. I still lost weight before getting pregnant and was exercising regularly to get healthy. But i truly think the metformin helped me alot and although I took that I still consider my ovulation natural so I did concieve naturally. I think what your doing is great. Its great your not in a rush though, your approach is very relaxed.
Thanks so? much I ... By: sheenashine17. on 25 May 11, 14:54:33 Thanks so? much I will check it out! :-)
Also, a site called ... By: FaithShekinah. on 24 May 11, 23:51:14 Also, a site called natural-fertility-info has so much great info, from the home page on the left site, under fertility remedies, click on progesterone, it has a ton of information on progesterone and natural progesterone cream. Good luck! :)
?
I get it from ... By: FaithShekinah. on 24 May 11, 23:50:23 I get it from either amazon? or vitacost.com. the brand I use and recommend is Emerita, it's called Pro-Gest.
Thanks!! Yeah, I ... By: FaithShekinah. on 24 May 11, 23:41:52 Thanks!! Yeah, I love maca, I struggle with taking it every day like I should, but it gives me SO much energy and just makes me? feel so good! i'm sending lots of baby dust your way!
But I also want to ... By: FaithShekinah. on 24 May 11, 23:40:01 But I also want to be healthy and not have to be struggling with this for years and years down the road as a mother. I've always said this approach isn't for everyone, but I think it's the best for me. I'm 24 and although I would give anything to have a baby like NOW, or yesterday, lol, I still feel like it wouldn't be too bad if I didn't become a mommy until I'm like 27-28. I think my end goals are? what keep me motivated, I like to look at the big picture. Again, congrats!! :)
Congrats on your ... By: FaithShekinah. on 24 May 11, 23:35:12 Congrats on your pregnancy! How far along are you? That's awesome news! I've been trying to get my hormones straightened out for a year and a half now. As of now I really don't have a set time of when I'm going to try medications. I'm thinking I'm going to stick with this approach for another 2 yrs or so and go from there. My whole thing is for me it's more important to heal and be? healthy than to have a baby. Don't get me wrong, I want a baby more than anything right now.
Where do you get ... By: sheenashine17. on 24 May 11, 22:53:25 Where do you get progesterone cream from? I have irregular cycles and would love anything that causes AF to come.? :)
Wishing you tons of ... By: mssensational. on 24 May 11, 22:23:08 Wishing you tons of luck during your? natural cycle. I take maca also and love it. If I'm not pregnant this cycle I will get a fertility monitor as well.
How long have you ... By: renator88. on 24 May 11, 21:50:37 How long have you been trying? And do you have a time line of when to try medications? Having pcos I did try naturally and only because of metformin I'm? now pregnant, I think it's great your trying to do it naturally but you must have alot more patience then me!! Good luck, I hope you ovulate on your own very soon!!!

Glad your period stopped at least for? a few days but it sucks that it started up again. Don't feel bad about the weight gain, considering all you're going thru one pound is not so bad. By the way do you take iron or vitamins? Just wondering because of your condition. The last thing you want is become anemic.
