Ella thanks for taking the time to post this article.
I read it completely and I think it has some good informations, but there is one important thing which is totally wrong and must be corrected:

Some recommend taking PM only during your menses. Some recommend taking PM only before the onset of menstruation. And still some recommend taking it every single day, regardless of your menstrual cycle.

The cycle that makes the most sense to me is to take it during your menstruation. Why? Simply because our natural estrogen levels are the highest when we menstruate. When your menstruation ends, your estrogen levels decrease and your progesterone levels increase. It just makes sense to follow the natural order of the body.

This is sooo wrong.

During the menstruation both estrogen and progesteron levels are LOW.
After the menstruation estrogen starts to rise and is at its highest right before ovulation. After ovulation is starts to drop.
Progesteron starts to rise after ovulation and is at its highest one week before menstruation.



In my opinion PM should be taken from the third cycle day (it can cause cramps if you take it on cycle day 1 or 2) until 2 days before ovulation.
PC should be taken after ovulation 2 days before menstruation begins. Hope this helps.
