PC starts period too early, but clears acne???
I am 25 years old and 3 or 4 months ago I started using SP for a couple weeks when I literally suddenly broke out with very bad acne. I used 100 mg of pm from antriel for only two days before breaking out so I think that's neglible. I stopped everything for a few months but the acne was fairly much the same. With no change in skin I used pc I had on hand from Now Foods using wild yam as it's source. I used it on days 18 to the 23rd of my cycle (6 days). Like magic my skin cleared up significantly (like 90%), but my period started on the 2nd or 3rd day after using the pc.
I originally got my period around the 20th or 21st of the month. So, I used the pc 18 days later of my cycle around the 7th and got my period on the 8th for the next 6 days. I thought maybe I should skip a month but my skin was still not as clear as it was orginally and maybe my body was adjusting with the pc and it would regulate in another cycle, so from my new cycle starting on the 8th I counted 18 days later and used pc for the next 6 days the following month. My skin cleared even more it's practically crystal clear with only a few tiny blemishes, but I started my period early again 2 days into using the pc. I don't know what to do now.
Background:
- Acne: had acne during puberty, ushually I have a slightly oily t-zone and a few blemishes ocassionally. If I do have a break out I ushually will eat even better than I ushually do (my diets pretty good normally) and it clears up, but it's never painful, super red, deeply congested like it was this time. I've never gotten breakouts on my cheeks and jaw line like I did this time either.
- My Plan with NBE: I wanted to do it mildly and gently and reading a lot about NBE correlated with wanted to have overall better balance in my body. So, I wanted to take SP daily, cycle PM, and cycle PC also; I bought vitex but wasn't sure if I'd use it or how.
- Related things with NBE: I weight 125 lbs but a significant amount of tummy weight. I am a 32 b. My period has changed from the beginning of the month to the end of the month a few times before, but hadn't in a long while, my doc said it's normal. I've delt with vaginal itching recently during the time of looking into NBE and first starting SP. At least a couple of times there was swelling. I've been tested for yeast and Bacterial vaginosis and it was negative. I am allergic to yeast so my allergist said that might interplay somehow, i don't know. (I took hydrocortisone as a kid for itching and that may have caused the excess body hair I have; my skin or body might be very sensitive to hormones?, but I thought SP might help).
So over all I thought about stress, excess tummy weight (a sign high stress levels when you put on the weight), excess body hair, possible irregular cycles or room for improvement in balancing hormones and of course wanting fuller breasts and curves. So, I wanted to take SP daily, cycle PM, and cycle PC also; I bought vitex but wasn't sure if I'd use it or how.
I still have so much to learn and everyone on this forum has learned so much with a lot of personal experience with NBE and their bodies so I'd really appreciate and value everyone's feedback!
