NPC Shutdown – The Overview
Natural Progesterone Cream Shutdown; AKA – 3 MONTH CLEANSING / OVULATION SHUTDOWN / RESTORATION AND WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM
Doesn’t that sound like a mouthful? Yes, it does but it explains what we are all about here at Infertility Workshop. The NPC Shutdown is a natural and a highly effective way of overcoming infertility for many many people. You will find part of this page on our main site but we have revised it here with many updates and explanations.
I am going to be as bold as anyone can. This program WORKS! We have been see great results since 1998.
It is with great excitement, study and success that we have put together these pages. We have a very high number of pregnant graduates; as well as babies and beyond. We have been helping infertile couples since 1998 on the internet and in support groups.
A brief history:
After reading Dr. Lee’s article about healing the ovaries, I began to practice these principles with the couples in my Infertility Workshop group at Yahoo and we found that with a little tweaking, it was very helpful for many couples who just needed a little time and a little cleansing to become pregnant naturally. Since first writing about the NPC Cleanse we have been blessed to hear from women, literally all over the world, of how they followed some simple guidelines and it made all the difference to their fertility. They became pregnant and said good-bye to infertility. Many of these couples had issues with male infertility as well.
There are suggestions included in our NPC Shutdown for supplements, The Infertility Diet, weight loss for fertility, juicing tips and recipes, as well as lifestyle changes. All products mentioned for this natural progesterone cream shutdown-detox-cleanse can be found under the Infertility Workshop section of the Whole Family Health catalog store and also at our sister site’s storefront Beyond Fertility Catalog. Fertility and Hormone Products / Natural Progesterone Cream Detox Shutdown and other products are showcased there.
The Natural Progesterone Cream Shutdown was developed as a way to help women do a healthy cleanse and build for fertility. We have had countless women come through our sites and become pregnant because of this program.
Here is hoping that you will be our next testimony of overcoming infertility through natural means.

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.
- Join our group.
- Follow us on Twitter (beyondfertility)
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.

NPC 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. (more…)

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. (more…)

Better Tasting Water
So did you ever feel like you couldn’t drink another glass of water even though you had read over and over how important it is for you?
Well, it is very important and we try to stress that here at Infertility Workshop. If you have menstrual cramps for instance, then water will hydrate your muscles to help them not to cramp as much. If you have issues with miscarrying early on, you may be surprised to know that the muscles of uterus are MUSCLES and that means you need to be hydrated in order to keep from becoming rigid and not being able to contract and release lightly for the proper blood flow.
So how to drink that 64 oz per day or more? I have been juicing for many years and have recently found thrown in among the recipes a common answer. (more…)

Symptoms of Estrogen Dominance
Estrogen Dominance is also called Estrogen Dominance Syndrome EDS. It is commonly misunderstood in that most women think it means they have too much estrogen or they say “My estrogen is low, so that cannot be my answer.” The truth is that estrogen dominance merely means that estrogen is dominant out of balance in relation to progesterone.
Some symptoms of estrogen dominance may seem like something you have had for a long time and never thought it was anything but a pain. (more…)

This is a recipe I made up for when we were doing a reboot and my daughters wanted some soup. If you have been juicing all day or taking enzymes like Phyto Bio Forte and Digestion Specialist, then everything does not have to be raw. The enzymes will unlock the nutrients in this soup.
2 large stalks of broccoli – one used raw and the other sauteed (more…)
