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.

All of the herbs we take for NBE pose serious risks, and even topicals pose serious risks, it's why you have to cleanse your body every once in a while. If she takes high doses then she should do a cleanse every 3 weeks, if you take lower doses you can spread it longer but no matter what you should do a cleanse a minimum(IMO, and I know I've read other stuff that makes me think maybe sooner) every 6 months and that's with recommended doses of the herbs which none of us do because it usually doesn't help with growth. That's not cycling though, and even if she cycles, she still needs to do a cleanse.

And even besides that point you should have a balanced regimen in the first place so you don't become dominant in any one hormone. She's obviously not talking about taking only PM because she talked about using PC to keep herself balanced. You aren't gonna become dominant in any one thing if you have a properly balanced plan for your body. She's obviously aware of that or else she wouldn't see the point in using something to offset the strong phytoestrogen.

If she clotted from PM then she was likely already genetically prone to blood clots and anything abnormal could've triggered it, like being on the pill, which gives hormones in relatively low doses but can still trigger clotting. One woman taking PM and then getting a blood clot does not mean that you can't take PM for a few weeks straight. Plenty of people here do it without issue.

But when you start NBE and/or messing with your body in any way, there are gonna be risks and you need to be aware of that before you start. If you are really that worried by small chances then you should read the risks associated with simple ibuprofen. You'll never take the OTC reliever for your headache ever again. Just because the risks is there, doesn't mean it'll happen. If you're really worried that something can mess up your body like that, don't mess with it at all because the slightest thing can trigger stuff you never thought possible. But that's something that I think everyone here is already aware of because the biggest thing with NBE is research, and research doesn't just bring up good, it brings up bad too. You have to weigh the risks, but there are risks with everything, it doesn't mean it's automatically gonna happen. Especially not if you do it right.
