Strange symptoms

I woke up this morning with the worst PMS like symptoms ever! Diarrhea, excessive salivation, major sweets cravings and sleepiness all throughout the day. My breasts are feeling like huge lumps, and shooting pains especially at the bottom of my smaller boob. I've only been on PM cream for 6 days.

Could these be just my body's way of adjusting to the PM? I'll see if I'll have the same symptoms until tomorrow.

Anyone else experienced this?

I also experienced the same thing... golly, i almost fainted at school...
The first time i use the pill was last month on the first day of my cycle and I experience the same symptoms... so after that first day, for health sake, i stopped. Then I thought I give it another try this month... i woke up for school and felt really sick... bloating, diarrhea, really bad cramps from my waist and down... i felt really fainty and dehydrated...

I'm terribly sorry I didn't get back sooner, it was hectic at work. I'm even more sorry to hear that you still are having the side effects

I wish I could help out but I no longer suffer from any "strange" symptoms. As for the poopy thing, I don't have to run for it like I used to, I only had it for a day. But now it's more regular, like everyday or twice a day, but it's not the diarrhea kinda - yaknow.

I don't remember asking Deb about it because it wasn't as bad, but she did advise that instead of taking 2 pills am and pm, that to take it once each time.. and still take the 15 day break.

I can only guess that your body must be having a hard time adjusting to the PM. It may have to do with your diet? Have you checked with a doctor yet?

I'm sorry I couldn't help

Diarrhea and PM

I now have diarrhea. I am mostly sure this is from the PM. I know somebody else reported this, but they were unsure it was caused by the progesterone cream or the PM. I am not taking progesterone cream. Any others have diarrhea? If so, did it go away after a while?

Could you tell us which brand are you taking, and the amount of pueraria per day?
I have read that one of the possible side effects of taking a large amount of pueraria could be diarrhea. KittyCharlette had that effect, but I'm not sure if she is still suffering from it. Maybe she can help you!

Tesa,

No I no longer have diarrhea. I did stop progesterone cream though. After a few days of stopping the cream it went away. I could be that my body is adjusting to the PM or it could be the cream. Most likely if you are having similar side effects its probably the PM. I am more regular now though. I poop like a normal person, lol! I used to go 2 days even 3 sometimes, now its twice a day. Sorry if thats too much info!

Let us know if and when it stops. I had it for about 1.5-2 weeks! Hopefully it won't last that long for you.

Good luck growing some boobies! (.Y.)

I have been on it and noticed if I do not take it with soy milk i feel really tired or spaced out. Taking it with calcium or the milk I feel better. Now I am a TS taking 3000mg daily cutting down to 1500 1 day a week. So far so good.
