Hi All,
My period saga continues....
in a nutshell, after one month on PM spray 1 week late, after the following month on the caps 2 weeks late, probably... I say probably because what happened was a bit of bleeding, nothing like a proper period, and some reddish brown discharge (yep, gross, I know, sorry for the detail) - like the end of a period really. This combined with my usual pre-period boob soreness which is now dwindling down.
Do any of you PM users think this was my body attempting to have a period, given that it was at approx the right time?
I am hoping so, and that I'll go another 4 or 5 weeks and have a proper period and get back to normal.
But this has really shaken my confidence in the PM as I've never had any cycle disturbances before. I don't want to give up on it really as its onviously doing something, but I'm shaken.
Any thoughts?!

If I were you, I'd get it checked out. 2 weeks is way too late. My cycle was altered from 24 days to 29 (Yay!). Your body is supposed to adjust but your case is a lil extreme. So just visit the doc and see what happens. Better to be safe than sorry!
Good luck...

I wouldn't bother with the doctor (and I'm a total hypochondriac!), missing one period here and there is nothing to worry about. I've had 5-6 weeks between and went through a stage where it was like 'drying up' (length between kept getting longer and less days bleeding and very light). I'd stop the herbs, have a normal period then on the 1st day of the cycle after that start again. Consider taking 300mg 2x daily for maybe 12 days from cycle day 1, this is probably not a growing dose but see if it affects your cycle. I came off PM after the back pain incident then remembered that I'd fallen on my back a few days before but by then my period had finished so I never went back to it. I hope to give PM another go shortly. Not sure what I've done with the spray!
