Its that time of month already and I just put an order in for my St. Herb 2 days ago! Do I have to start them on day 1 of my period or can I start taking them a little late say 5-7 days into it and just stop after a week to allow for my period? I am too anxious to wait another month to start this program!

If you just put your order in and are already on your period, chances are (if they're from Deborah, they're dropshipped I believe) you wont be getting the product for about 10-15 days anyway so you'll still have to wait ^^

I can start using the cream now without having to wait for my period, right? I'm talking about the St. Herb cream.

I also emailed Deb, but I really am so excited to get started. lol

I have posted else where about this but to reply to your post...the main problem with starting later than the first day of your actual flow is that your cycle may get irregular. You will probably be ok if starting within the first several days after onset of period but it is best with the pills to take as directed. I am going to start stocking the st herb brand myself in the USA so I can ship within a reasonable time frame...most people just have a very hard time waiting the amount of time that it takes to come from Thailand. So check my store for the listings that say " SHIPS FROM USA"... as opposed to the ones that say ship from Thailand if you live in US. See my post regarding the time frame and st herb line on the main index for more information.

You know the irregular periods are a big problem for some women on PM when taken like this. I think you might want to consider using the Mirifem as it seems to be easier for women that have this problem. (Just a thought).

The other thing you can try is not the recommended way, but might be worth a try. Take only 1 cap 2 times a day...total of 2 pills. Low dose. Take continually and see what happens with your period. Don't take 4 a day all month though. Just 2. I only say to try this as you seem to have a real problem with the on and off business. The old formula Mirifem were a low dose and they were not cycled. Hope this helps.

A lot of people seem to have period irregularity when taking PM. Has anyone continued to take the contraceptive pill at the same time? I've tried a number of herbs - wonderup, single herbs etc etc before and always stopped taking birth control pills when doing so. Thinking about continuing taking microgynon with PM as a way of avoiding period cycle probs. This a good idea? or am i unlikely to not get any growth?

Hi, the PM pills and the BCP will likely "cancel eachother out" ...the BCP might not work as well and you NEED it to and the PM might not have any effect because the two compound actually "compete for the same receptor sites ...the estrogen receptor sites in hormone dependant tissues. Best not to combine them...try titration..start low and build up the dose gradually.

Maybe, even use only 1 pill 2 x day for the full 15 days. Then stop and resume in 15 days regardless of when your period comes. Repeat. Then in the 2nd month try 1 in the morning and 2 in the evening. 3rd month...2 morning + 2 evening.

Remember you don't HAVE to take 4 a day!!!

Thanks - that sounds like a good idea.

I've always used the highest dose of single herbs in the past, got really good results for the first month and then no growth at all for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th months, so maybe by building up i'll avoid that problem too

Hi,

Ok I don't know which pills you are taking....but first I have to say, I am not a doctor and can't give medical advice (need to protect myself legally!). But it does sound like the PM is messing with your periods and this can and does happen..PM, unlike the less potent herbs like hops, fennel, soy etc., is a very potent and biologically active hormone.

It can cause "wetter" periods and irregularities to occur...sometimes these changes do not happen but my experience with customers is that they do happen to a certain percent. There are two things I can recommend. Lower the dose. I have to assume you are taking the st herb pills. These are more likely to cause irregularities in my experience with customers at least. Sometimes the changes gradually get back to normal or even out. The most trouble some is increase flow I think. Most women will not like this. The irregularity should even out with careful timing of the 15 day courses. The heavy flow "might" get better with reduced dose...so you would take only 1 capsule daily for 15 days.

I have to wonder if you started on the right day...there seems to be some confustion over what day is actually the first day of one's period..it is the first day of actual bleeding. That is the day you need to start with 15 day course of pills. Then you stop. Wait 15 more days and re-start IRREGARDLESS of the timing of your next period....The idea is to set up using these pills on a regular basis and over a few months time your period should occur during the 15days OFF.

If you find all this too complicated and annoying...many women do, I suggest you try the Mirifem Full Potential caplets...These don't need to be cycled and I do find that some women can tolerate them when they could not tolerate the st herb type pills.

I hope this helps ;-)

yes i am taking the st herb and what i thought was my period i think its spotting because it only lasted two days. my date is the 28th of this month so i was 8 days early....

so what you are suggesting is that even if i dont start after the 15th day of having left them i should start taking them again even if i havent started my periods?? i thought it was first day of starting periods/

ok so now you have confused me!

QUOTE FROM LOST SHEEP POST......

"Anyone else beginning to think Deb is pushing her store and products a bit much? At first, she was around posting useful info. Now it seems she pops in every now and then to spam and promote her Ebay store. I don't mean to offend her, but I'm definitely starting to get annoyed. Just my opinion."

LOST SHEEP also says she did not like the "customer service" I give.

Lost Sheep must not be reading all of my post because if she did she would see that many many of them make NO mention of my store.

Let me explain...I get dozens of emails from customers everyday. I can not possibly answer all but I do my best...The information I post is sincerly meant to help. I post to keep from having to retype answers to common questions. IF it seems that I "pop in" once in a while it is that I have 2 businesses to run and am doing it "from bed" half the time as I have Lupus, TLE (temporal lobe epilepsy) and Osteoarthritis of the spine that necessitates that I work from home at a pace slower than some. I am partially homebound and bedridden.

I am NOT trying for votes of sympathy...on the contrary.I am doing MUCH better now that I have the business than I was as a complete invalid.I thank god everyday for being able to do the business...

So, if I am slow to answer an email or if, heaven forbid, I do not answer at all, you are just going to have to try and understand. I hope that explaining this will ammend any hurt feeling or disappointment any of you might have with my "customer service".

Funny, if you read my ebay selle feedbacks...most people feel that my customer service and care is excellent!!! [img=15x17]./forum_data/forums.he/heal/healthforum/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif[/img]

I will keep announcements about stuff relating to the store on my homepage..if that make everyone more comfortable ;

Lost Sheep...if your periods didn't regulate on st herb...switch brands. I stand by these products..I also tell anyone that buys them that sometimes one is better than another for them...and sometimes they do not work. I also take returns if someone has lots of trouble with a product they have bought.

Take care everyone.

Deb

Hello. I read what was posted above and i got really annoyed.Personally i belive That Deborah is very fast in replying to questions!!!That is from my personal experience.We also talked about what i was taking(BO)and she never offered me PM or any of the pills that she sells.In contrary she wished my best of luck with what i was taking and with the soaps that i purchased from her store.

I mailed another seller a question about another product i bought on ebay(not relaterd to NBE) and it took her over 5 days to reply!!!I think that is slow..Deborah replies mostly at the same day or the next..SO I personally would like to give her a second feedback here..She is a great seller and her service is excellent..Thanks DeborahSmile

Thank you Sandy! I have actually been really upset over all this silly stuff...I can't beleive how sensitive I am about it all. I know I do the best I can, and I can't please everyone all the time. Thank you so much for the vote of confidence. Thanks for informing me about the BO too...I get a little squeemish about animal based stuff but that is just a personal thing. I am acually quite curious about some of the other things people are doing...just don't have the time to look into al of it. Thanks again...you get a 5% discount next time...just remind me!!!

ThanksSmile I was just saying the truth..I am super satisfied with your service and No one can do hundreds of things at one time.One should take into consideration that the seller also has her/his personal life and problems and can't respond at a blink..But be confident ,your service is excellent and u have all feedback at Ebay to prove that..Keep that going DebSmile

Deb always replied quickly to me. When she couldn't reply straight away, she let me know that I would get an answer soon. She always kept her word, which is rather rare with many online vendors. She was a good advisor, never pushy about any of the products. When there was an issue with my order (St. Herb's fault, not hers) she resolved it swiftly.

I'm very happy with her service. [img=15x17]./forum_data/forums.he/heal/healthforum/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif[/img]

Hey Guys I pop over here every once in a while to see how things are growing, because I am still considering other options, but I just wanted to give you an FYI and then I won't say anything else. Our "sheep" whether they be lost, white, black, alien can be numerous people. Its not just tagged to one person - as we have seen through many posts - so there could be a possibility that this particular Lost Sheep, isn't the other Lost Sheep that expressed concern over to much advertising.

Also Deb, I didn't take Lost Sheeps post in this thread to imply you directly. It was just someone merely stating their experience or opinion. I have noticed lately that everyone seems to be jumping on everybody when opinions are given that are contrary to what we think, and feeling the need to defend themselves, when all you really need to do is ignore the posts, or express some concern or sympathy towards there experience.
Don't blast me, but if you really do have great response time, why even bother posting messages to defend yourself? Why not let your reputation speak to itself?

It seems to me that this post started of like any other, and then has turned into something childish - with everyone defending everyone for no real reason. Lost Sheep didn't say that you specifically weren't responding right? And you aren't the only one that sells St. Herb, or the only customer service rep right?

I say all that to get back to my point: All the sheep can be lots of different people, not just one particular person. Maybe keep that in mind before making accusations against others.

This forum is so everyone can give there opinions and experiences, to help others out. If someone had a bad experience, then it does need to be noted, and that person not criticized or condemned because we take a personal offense to it.

I'm not the Lost Sheep who wrote about poor customer service. I wrote that I feel you are pushing your products and Ebay store a bit much. When you do not log in on this forum it automatically names you a "Sheep".

The other "Lost Sheep" you are referring to did not comment about your customer service. If you read the post she said she contacted ST. HERB's customer service. She said St. Herb did not respond to her e-mails.

In closing, yes I do feel you promote and push you products too much. I'm sure many of the members here know of Fawn. She also has a website and sells PM products. You do not see her spamming and promoting her site. She always frequents the forums to provide great advice. She also will tell you the good and bad of any product. Not just PM or any other that she sells on her site. I feel your advice is only intended to direct women to your Ebay store.

You've been given tons of business from women through this site. I think enough is enough. If you are going to push and promote your store, at least do it in a more professional manner.

Just noticed that some other members are commenting on the bad customer service statement. PLEASE READ THE POST BEFORE COMMENTING. She did NOT say DEB had poor customer service. She said ST.HERB DID NOT REPLY TO HER E-MAILS, THUS IN HER OPINION, THE CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS POOR.

I've changed my name from "Lost Sheep" to CC. Now all of you will not be confused as to who is writing what.

hi i hope you can answer this for me ! i know you take st herb caps for 15 days then break for 15 and restart without waiting for next period but ccan you tell me if the caps work better in first 2 weeks of cycle. why i ask this is because when i started pm my next period was ten days late so i only had 5 more days to take them now my period is back to normal, my 15 days of taking falls in the last 2 weeks of cycle so basically i am taking them at the last 2 weeks of my cycle not the first 2 do you think it be good idea to just wait for each period to start so i am then taking for first 15 days of cycle not last 2 ? thanks for your help

I'm just making a bit of a supposition here, but I believe you only take the PM for the first 15 days so that following ovulation, as progesterone builds up, it isn't complete overload/competition with the estrogenic properties of the PM.More closely follows the natural hormonal ups and downs. Very potent herb! Taking PM without any breaks has been know to wreak havoc with different girls cycles (I believe) for this reason.

I do know the latest recommendation from St.herb is to stick to the 15 days on-15 days off routine for a few cycles and that eventually your body goes, "OK, I get it now!" and everything falls back into a more consistant cycle. How long have you been sticking with the 15 On 15 Off routine? I'm pretty sure it's not unheard of for it to take 3 or 4 cycles for things to find their rythm.

Others might have more first hand knowledge to share with you.
Good luck and growth [img=15x17]./forum_data/forums.he/heal/healthforum/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif[/img]

Definitely use the St Herb pills the way the company recommends to use...15 days use for Day 1 - 15 of the FIRST part of your cycle...Day one...the first day of your actual flow. Then take for the 15 days and stop....restart in another 15days regardless of your period comming.

The reason is like you all suspect..to regulate your period ...if you take all month long your period may not come at all. You don't want to interupt the near normal ebb and flow of the monthly hormone fluctuations...so don't use in the last part of the cycle.

This is a very potent plant estrogen and it is bio-identical to estradiol (unlike other herbs used in NBE). This one you have to give it some serious consideration, like you would a medicine or drug.

Pueraria is considerably SAFER than synthetic amimal based estrogens. There is NO indication it will increase your risks of some dangerous conditions..in fact it has many health PROMOTING benefits...see the custome store pages on my site www.stores.ebay/phytosense-premium-herbals "Breast Enhancement Fact vs Fiction" and "Pueraria Clinical Trial and Info". Find on left hand side navagation bar or top of every store page or listing. Also the links are on every product ad that I make.

Recent study in Korea shows that PM "inhibits" the growth of many hormone dependant cancer cell lines...good news.

Past research show that PM is a calcium agontist...and is beneficial in preventing and treating menopausal osteoporosis. TAKE A CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT WHILE USING PM - THIS INCREASES EFFICACY (EFFECTIVELNESS). [img=15x17]./forum_data/forums.he/heal/healthforum/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif[/img]

Benefits include improved circulation, cholesterol ratios, skin, hair, nails etc.


Best to all...

Just because something is natural does not make it safer automatically. It really depends on that product's affect on the body. There are some natural compds that can lead to death or have adverse effects, ex curare.

PM affects the body very much like premarin, so I do not think you should assume PM is safer. We should be careful because we know that it is potent and most likely contributed to Shell's developing a clot(Shell is a smoker and over 40 so this probably contributed to her risk of clotting with the PM).

I agree that we should use the lowest dose necessary for results. With PM, I do not think more is necessarily better.
