Hi everybody!
I've been reading this forum for two months now after I was so dissapointed by doing the Flat2Fab program!Then I started PM pills and cream from St Herb(and massage) and my little breasts(34A)started to grow!But then I got the worst case of acne on my face...I usually have a few pimples around my period,but this time it was really bad.When I finished the 15 day-4 pills a day routine,I got my period WAY too early,a week and a half!(I'm not on birthcontrol,I'm 33 and don't have kids)I started a cleasing program(including milk thistle)and my acne is clearing up really well,but I think that's due to stopping the PM pills.But my boobs are gone too.....boohoo...ther'e the same size as before.So my question is:If I start the PM pills again,do you think my body just needs time to get used to PM and the acne will eventually not come back?And my second question:Now my period has arrived,I should start the PM pills again but that would be 15 days on,5 days off...and that doenst seem healthy to me?I figured I wait a month and start with my next period?What do you guys think?I appreciate everybody's advice!Thanks!

ACNE, IRREGULAR PERIODS ETC

The acne....you know I have not had anyone specifically complain to me about this side effect. But read the forum...that will tell you if others have incidentally had the same thing happen. If you find that you come across it several times I would say that chances are it might be the PM. Some women find it improves their skin...hair and nails. It does depend on your age and the existing hormone status that you start with I suspect.
The irregular periods DO happen pretty often. I hear this from customers frequently. The best way to use the St Herb type pills (on and off), to minimize this effect is to allow about 3 cycles to pass before giving up. Your periods should even out again.
So, take the pills for 15 days....then stop for the next 15 days. Regardless of your flow, wait those 15 days before you start again. Even if you get an early period. Then restart the pills at 15 days....regardless of your menstruation.
If you do this your body (hopefully) will "reset" itself. The idea of course is to regualte the occurance of your period with the on and off cycle of the pills.
But it doesn't seem to happen the first month for many women. Early and "wetter" periods is a common complaint.
So no...don't restart the pills if you just stopped them 5 days ago. Wait the full 15 days and then restart. Even if your period is happening then!!! Start the pills like clockwork...and remember, when initiating the course, the first day of actual bleeding is the first day of your period and that is the day you start...NOT the first day after you stop menstruating. Some women have gotten that mixed up.
I sometimes recomment lower doses for those with menstrual problems (1 capsule 2 times a day) to help to gradually tease your body to accomodate the changes...
I personally do not think everyone needs 4 capsules a day. My friend at American PhytoLabs (the Blossom-s guy) says that too much PM is going to cause lots fo problems for women. Especially young overyly anxious women that are in a big hurry to grow. MORE IS NOT BETTER. Too much will just make the course unpleasant any you will end up "tossing the baby out with the bath water" ;-)
Remember...this is pretty potent stuff. At least if you are using a brand you know to made from the "selected species....cultivated variety" plants etc etc" . These plants are cross bred and then nurtured, fed, pampered and left to grow for 5 years or more...causing high levels of the acitive to accumulate in the tubers.
