cycle issues

For the first time in my life my cycle is acting up (of course when we are TTC right?) After seeing my doctor due to some concerns over having two periods in a month and having my next period start in around 34 days after that second cycle my OB has prescribed progestin? (Sp?) She says I should take it on day 15 of my cycle and it will help my cycle stay on track.  I'm a little nervous about taking it although she says its completely natural? Is there any other natural herb or homeopath I can take for "cycle" health?

    It's a hormone, so in that sense, yes, it's "natural."
    You could read the book "Fertility, Cycles and Nutrition" for some more ideas of what might help (vitamins, etc.) And if you havent already, you should read "Taking Charge of Your Fertility," which will at the very least help you understand your cycle better. (If you're having "two periods in a month" you need to be able to figure out if you're actually ovulating during one of them. Progesterone won't really help if you're not.)

    Thanks! When I read the side effects they are really scary to me so I didn't know if there were other options. I definitely need to take better care of myself.  It's more than just my last 10 pounds of my pregnancy weight. I just need motivation and maybe this is what I need to do it! Had a pretty big battle of PPD.
