Spotting on PM
February 8 2009 at 8:13 AM Kat (Login a2c)
I started my PM cream last night and today I have been spotting like crazy. I have NEVER spotted before so this has to be related to the cream. Has this happened to anyone else? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I guess its the PM, but thats weird and fast result( side effect). I wouldn't get worried about it and continue with what your doing. It will take the body time to adjust to higher level of hormones. Or maybe it is just a freak thing and won't happen again.

Hi Kat
In my experience Pm is a weird and powerful thing.
After only a couple of weeks using the PM Uk spray and nothing else, my boobs started producing colostrum!! this i found nasty enough when i was pregnant but after i'd been sterilised... eeek!
Also, my period was a week late.
then I stated using the caps and my period was about 3 weeks late.
then i reduced the number of days I used the caps for (from 14 to 12) and my period came after 38 days as opposed to 30 - 32. Also on both occasions it was heavier.
i suppose the point I'm making is this.... PM is a powerful herb, it does strange things to the female body and affects us all differently. If your spotting is minimal, ie to my mind using a liner a day, nothing too major, I would ignore and carry on. If more major than that you need to decide whether the hasle of it is worth it. i am still on a learning curve with it. i have deceide on balance to continue but this month I am taking a half dose and seeing what that does.
To summarise i would say with PM you need to really take notice of what your body is saying and calibrate accordingly. It is strong and may be effective but don't ignore anything that bothers you. It can be worrisome whan your body is doing strange things and worry in itself is antithetical to NBE.
But good luck with it and keep posting.

Thank you for your responses Snowflake and Madboobie. Its comforting to know I'm not the only one getting messed up from this stuff.
So after 2 days of random spotting I started my period. - It came 2 weeks early! Very weird for me because I'm like clockwork. Anyways.. Like you guys said I'm probably just adjusting to the PM so I'm not going to stress about it anymore
I'll keep you all posted on the progress and thanks again!
