Someone, please help!
This is only my second day of taking BO, UB to be exact and I'm experiencing a period that came about 3 days too early. And it was very painful, excruciating cramps and chills and heat and heavy sweating. In addition to UB, which I take 2x a day, I've been taking raw pituitary from Swanson and msm fish collagen (both once a day) and a whey protein shake.
If it helps to know, I'm really tiny, barely 5' and 100 lbs. I've experienced dysmenorrhea in the past but my body has gotten over it on its own.
This is the first time in a long time I've gotten these symptoms.
Does anyone know why I've been getting such a painful period? What am I doing wrong, and what should I do now? I have some milk thistle on me if I need to cleanse. Please I need some advice. Thanks in advance!
Hey shelly!
BO is powerful stuff and it's not surprising that it has changed your cycle and may also be causing those painful symptoms you're experiencing. While we can't be sure that BO is the culprit I would recommend taking Evening Primrose Oil or other similar supplements that are known to be beneficial to women.

Are you an ED or have endometriosis? It sounds to me you are both. Have some tests to find out which group you are. Do you have a painful intercourse then you have endometriosis? It also sounds like you are experiencing low blood sugar episode (heavy sweating & heat). You will need more PC than Estrogen just based on the symptoms you have (yes, I have the samething when I first started UB), make sure you always have some sweet candies with you when these symtoms incurr or you will be fainting.

Thanks for the input so far, but can someone explain the abbreviations please? Also I ended up stopping the pituitary supplement and am instead just taking 2xUltra Breast Bovine ovary, one in the day and in the night, one msm collagen and one DIM supplement. The painful episodes are gone but now I'm worried that I'm not really doing anything now in terms of effectiveness. But then again, it's way too early to tell (I believe this is only the 2nd week of bovine ovary...no I'm not keeping track lol I'm just taking the pills until I run out of the 6-month supply)
Because of my hectic schedule right now I'm also afraid that I havent been getting enough protein nor have I been able to noogle... :/
Let me know what you all think please!
ps I don't have endometriosis but I was treated for dysmenorrhea in the past with small equal doses of progesterone and estrogen and it worked splendidly
ED - estrogen dominant, I think
PC - progesterone cream
I hope that helped!
