I dont really know why this is happening but i think i lost more than 1/2 inch! I started taking PM twice a day (one pill for the first five days) since 7 days ago after my period ended. I also use the PM cream with it and i take l-argine everyday as well. Please someone help me with what i should do
is this possibly because of the PM cream?
I havent experiences any side effects at all too but definitely no growth.
The time you are describing is the time of my cycle that I feel the smallest. I think they'll come back, mine always do. That's one of the reasons I don't measure. Another reason being that I'm just not coordinated enough to get the same measurement even 5 mins apart,
I'd continue as planned, and although it might be easier said than done, stop stressing! Stress is terrible for nbe.
Thanks for the reply! Do you think its okay if i start using progesterone cream during my luteal phase since thats when my progesterone starts going up again?
That can be tricky, it's different for everyone. I had symptoms of estro dominance, but I believe I lacked both estrogen and progesterone. So at first the pm made me feel great, then with no cycling, I didn't have enough progesterone to balance the estrogen. But I'm 43 yrs old. Isabelle told me to cycle my pm, using fenugreek during luteal, it helps you to make more of your own progesterone. A lot of members use it.
I don't think the pm cream would cause decrease because I use it as well. I didn't use L-arginine, though. I did buy some but needed to study more about it. I'm sorry, I know I'm not much help. Someone like Isabelle or jiberish would no doubt be able to shed more light. Hopefully someone with more experience will see this.
Hi lyanneg,
PM suppresses prolactin, so you lose the swelling. Women who cycle it get the swelling back during the luteal phase. FG or WY during luteal phase helps swelling too.
I definitely get the best swelling during my luteal.
Ohhhhh that explains a lot! Thanks Isabella! Also, do you start PM on day 1?
Hi lyanneg,
I don't use PM. I do think it should be started at a low dose on day one of your period, unless it makes cramps worse or causes other trouble. Even then, it should be started during the period, or immediately after the period ends. Leaving a day in between is asking for trouble: a second ovulation, which will cause spotting, or even a full period, around day 17.
ok, so now I'm in the same boat as lyanneg
Since my above posts, I have entered my luteal, not only did I NOT get my usual swelling, but I think I've deflated! My stretch marks look like WRINKLES now! I started pm caps morning and night on day 2, since day 1 gave me a headache. I took the regular recommended dose of vitamins, and used pm cream morning and night. Stopped pm on day 12, started pc cream, morning and night. Today is day 15 of cycle and I'm so disappointed.
Funny thing is last month, I took a full month break from pm. I got huge swelling during luteal that lasted thru my period THIS cylce! I couldn't believe how huge I was with no pm! Then luteal comes this cycle and bam, deflation
I thought clearing receptors and cleaning would really cause a growth spurt. Now I'm beyond confused. Could someone enlighten me?
It's no wonder men can't figure us out, we can't figure ourselves out!
Hi SGC, no-one replied, you obviously had everyone baffled!
What has happened this cycle?
