So I'm on PM, which is great, however...
I tried the whole 15 days on 15 days off thing, trying to keep with my natural cycle, which is actually between 30-32 days, but I had some issues. For some reason, after going off my 15 days on, my period would start early?! I read that sudden drops is estrogen can cause your period to start, since this is how the natural cycle works, but how am I supposed to keep my period from starting after the estrogen goes down after day 15? Would taking progesterone right after I stop the estrogen keep the period from coming?
I tried to fix this issue myself by just taking the PM for longer, but I had what I guess you could call 'breakthrough bleeding'. Nothing heavy, just enough to make me wonder about it and consider changing my program again.
Any ideas?
