It's not only about getting your period in time or not.
If you keep taking a strong phytoestrogen like PM on and on, you are messing up your estrogen/progesterone-balance. Thing is, these hormones do not only affect your period, but a whole bunch of processes in your body.
A more or less severe decrease in progesterone is, for example, linked to: bad memory (even dementia); insomnia; problems with your immune system; increasing level of testosterone; acne; osteoporosis; more problems with any kind of inflammations; higher risk of breast cancer and endometrium cancer; reduced level of oxygen in all cells; depression; increased body fat and weight gain; weariness; low libido; unbalanced blood sugar; problems with zinc and copper; high blood pressure; thyroid problems; lack of corticosterone; migraines; anxiety; reduced vascular tone; increased risk of blood clots, and more.
I've also read elsewhere about a girl in her 20ies reporting about her intake of PM a few weeks straight and ending up with such a blood clot in her leg actually.
