[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 260498, member: 2211"] [SIZE=3][COLOR=darkslateblue]I have three older sisters. They all fancy themselves to be the Original Mother Earth; I will admit that I also like to believe that I almost always take the most "natural" way around a problem or issue, medical or not. I have tried to handle this naturally, I really have. Exercise hasn't helped, diet hasn't helped, and although technically taking progesterone is not exactly 'natural', it isn't surgery and that hasn't done wonders either. I just want it fixed.
