After the NPC Shutdown – What Now?
So you have completed the shutdown and feel strong and fertile; what now? The next things you do are very important:
- First and most importantly, you keep doing all the healthy eating, diet and exercise things you have come to “love”. Make sure to have your 8 glasses of water a day, try to continue juicing or at least making healthy smoothies if you can; or will. Take your supplements – that are not cleansing supplements (except fiber if you need it). Visit Our Store for pre-natal vitamins, digestive aids, natural progesterone cream and so much more.
- Next, do you know how to use the progesterone cream after shutdown? You will not be shutting off ovulation any longer so from here on you would use it only once ovulation has occurred up until menses. No need to go off the cream and wonder if your period will come. It will come, even on the progesterone cream, if you have ovulated but not conceived.
- Consider a fertility monitor like the Fertility Tracker, OvaCue or even LH test trips to know when you are about to ovulate. We prefer the Fertility Tracker for cost and efficiency.
- Take your temps if you like. You can read about how to here by searching through the categories or tags.
- Watch your symptoms carefully. Determine how your body is behaving now and how it may need some more tweaking.

We would love to have you stay in touch for support or updates. Feel free to ask us questions. There is still a journey ahead; maybe short, maybe longer but nevertheless a journey.

Read MoreNPC Shutdown – The Purpose
The purpose of the NPC Shutdown program (aka Cleansing for TTC Shutdown) is to not only achieve pregnancy, but to conceive and carry a healthy baby through healthier parents – overcoming both female and male infertilty. (Click on links for topical info.)
1: The purpose of the NPC Shutdown is to cleanse the major organs of the body to affect the reproductive system as a way to naturally conception using commonly known herbs for TTC. As stated above, 3 months of cleansing is a good amount of time to make changes and is very often enough time for pregnancy to occur. We will target, ovaries, liver cleansing and colon cleansing for this and provide tips for healthier eating to support this effort.
2: The purpose of the NPC Shutdown is to restore cyst covered ovaries by shutting off FSH and LH surges for these 3 months. This focuses on PCOS, PCOD and the potential for cysts due to an imbalance of estrogen and progesterone or testosterone and estrogen. The hope is to restore the ovaries, for cysts to atrophy and for proper ovulation to resume without ovarian cysts preventing it. Our claims are only to the possibilities and we cannot promise that these will be everyone’s results. A major factor is the use of natural progesterone cream for the shutdown.
Don’t worry, we will explain all this as we go along. Elevated prolactin, testosterone and estrogen levels affect FSH and LH balance AND can cause cysts. Imbalance of FSH and LH affects hormonal health in all levels eventually.

FAQ on how to use Natural Progesterone Cream during the NPC Shutdown
Q: How do I use the Natural Progesterone Cream during shutdown?
A: Natural Progesterone cream may be used as a safe way to overshadow estrogen and to shutoff ovulation during this time. If you have cysts and/or PCOS which are inhibiting ovulation, this method is highly recommended by Dr. Lee and others, noted in the field of hormonal health and women’s issues. If you have long cycles or periods of waxing and waning mucus without ovulation then it is helpful for you as well. If you have short luteal phase it may be a consideration as well.
If you do not have cysts, anovulation or long cycles and will not be using Cycle Balance or Happy PMS Cream you may skip this section. We believe it is best to use the cream during this time.
