Thanks for your reply
I might try starting the progesterone cream earlier next time.
I was reading around today, and noticed in another thread here a discussion about estrogen dominance symptoms on PM meaning more progesterone was needed. The last few months I've gotten more frequent headaches which I normally never get, I've also shed more hair, and had break outs on my face which I normally never have. Also gaining weight all over steadily, slowly- for no reason (normally my weight never fluctuates). More emotional, and my last period went for like 7 days which they never do. So I'm thinking these might be estrogen dominance symptoms and that I don't need more PM but more progesterone! Couldn't hurt to use a little more of that, or start the progesterone cream earlier like you did, and see if these symptoms reduce.
I added Saw Palmetto for a month at one stage and didn't notice any growth during that time. Also, when I stopped the Saw Palmetto I shed a motherload of hair! It freaked me out actually. Could this mean that it was stopping testosterone conversion in me, maybe I have higher testosterone??? I do get a couple of black hairs around my nipples
And have strong upper body with rather toned arms considering I never train them. I get confused about what I read on Saw Palmetto and when to take or how much and why.
I might try a glass of milk 3 times a day instead of the calcium supplement, as I'm not sure about my protein intake.
I'm onto my last day of PM this cycle, and should be getting some milk thistle in the mail tomorrow so I can do a liver cleanse too.
