But she was probably going by her "personal experience", which would be basically anecdote.<br /><br />I am not sure if it was my nursing teacher or herbalism teacher who put forth this "progestin narcan" theory, maybe more likely the herbalism teacher. Good to know that this isn't supported at all in the literature either. The herbalism teacher was very adamant about us learning how to direct patients to use progesterone cream for infertility/miscarriage/menopause. For infertility/miscarriage she recommended that we have the patient buy and use a saliva sample kit where the patient collects saliva samples over the period of one cycle and then send away the kit to a lab for analysis. But she said that nearly all women are estrogen dominant, and that it's very rare that a woman is estrogen deficient. She said this was directly because of environmental estrogens and BCP use. But it's probably pretty likely that women seeking treatment for infertility from a Chinese doctor would have a low progesterone condition causing this, and so it is likely that most of the test kit results she sees would show women with this specific imbalance. <br />Marie Kelleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442827238174603755.post-35368681371213628602014-02-14T19:45:21.495-08:002014-02-14T19:45:21.495-08:00If emergency contraception causes abortions, it ha...If emergency contraception causes abortions, it has huge implications for our cause. Emergency contraception is as cheap as a dinner at Chili's, as easy to take as a Tylenol, and is as convenient as the nearest Walgreens. There's no doctor, no clinic, and not even a statically tally marking it as an abortion. It would mean that abortion is out of the hands of politicians, doctors, and the Supreme Court. It would mean we're barricading the barn door after the horses have already escaped. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
