I second sweets I have found that taking photos really shows how much progress you've made. maybe not even for posting purposes, just to look back for yourself also I didn't know PM caused hair fall out. I have heard that E helps hair grow?

I took a lot of photos in the beginning and just recently started taking pictures in the same bra off of sweets advice Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to post them but if not then at least I have them for myself!

I've read that too much estrogen or just an imbalance in general can cause hair loss. Here are some other symptoms of e dom too which are nice to know - I actually forgot all about the trouble sleeping one - I haven't been sleeping well lately. I keep waking up multiple times at night and then I feel exhausted all day. I thought it was from my new mattress but I think it could be something else

Hey, when are you taking your pm and is it all you take? I suffer from the same exhaustion/insomnia, sometimes even talking is too much bc off my bad sleeping pattern lately. I think Im going to take a break from pm next month..it might be the cause..besides green tea and some other teas its all I take.

This last cycle I took PM (250mg each day) from day 8 - 15 and then a half dose until around day 16/17. I was planning on taking it all throughout my luteal but I started spotting and knew I had too much estrogen so I stopped taking the PM and by the end of the next day my spotting stopped. I take a few other things too - it's kinda long to list but I think it's posted on the page before this one. I take vitex during luteal and some saw palmetto extract are the two main things.

A break sounds like a good idea. I just took one before starting this cycle so I guess taking the half dose during luteal just overloads my body entirely.

Does your green tea have caffeine in it? Maybe that keeps you up? I don't have any caffeine in my diet right now because of some stomach issues and I get the strongest cravings for coffee now! haha.

When I dont keep myself under control Im a total caffein junk but I try to not drink more then 2 little cups off coffee..both in the morning ofcourse:p But I think all teas have caffeine in it.. I always drink a very large mug in bed at night so that could be it indeed. Though the exhaustion might be related to estrogen dom...seeing I forget a lot since taking PM.
I read some ''thai'' advice that PM should be taken 2 weeks after menstruation...but Im still taking it 20 days bc I like it and my cycle is regular like this...though whats wisdom is diffecult to say with the PM...Anyhow you think adding SP made a difference for you?
