gross side effects with pm usings bellas new product
October 23 2008 at 7:32 AM autumn (Login auttie14)
wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing this or any other side effects. I started using bellas pm exactly 7 days ago and have had a continual runny discharge that has a slight smell and won't stop coming it almost feels like I'm peeing my pants at times, it also looks clear but then when there is lot on the panty liner it has a sought red tinge color to it. I have never had any issue like this before. I have to wear a panti liner. Also my bowels at first were effected by pm like a laxative. And I am having cramps every now and then like period. Sorry for graphic info but that's what this forum is about. Does anyone else have anything like this or other side effects. Glad I only have to take this for 2 weeks at a time. Also does anyone think you could just use the powder and dump it in lotion be it would be the same? I think that's what greenbush did

Hi there Autumn,
Hope you're OK.
I'd say the extra estrogen's just increasing the fertile mucus you get at this stage in your cycle anyway and is a good sign. A bit of spotting seems worrisome but is not actually a big deal in itself - it's called breakthrough bleeding and is just a sign that your hormones are adjusting to something.
PM does have a laxative effect and I'm pretty sure it's dose-dependent too, so perhaps you could ramp down a little if this continues to be a prob.
It sounds like you're quite sensitive to it, so go easy and see what dose you can stand, then ramp up slowly perhaps?
I've had a little of the intestinal-type effects - not too bad.
The worse symptom has been headaches, but I can handle that. At least it is having a strong estrogenic effect - the headaches make sense at least.
I was also thinking about making the dust into a lotion - from the expense angle, I'm pretty sure it would work out cheaper to do it this way, given that the amounts in the topical products of Bella's are so far off the mark. I would also take it internally too though.

After personally taking this PM for three months to regulate hormonal imbalance I have gone from a size 0/1 jean's size to a 3. My food intake or activity level has not changed and I am taking no other supplements other than vitamins. The weight gain has been primarily in the chest, tummy, rear and thighs, and is substantial in terms of inches. Most companies marketing PM claim there is no weight gain, which is false. Additionally, many reviewing PM do so within very short periods of use, and will likely be reviewing before seeing the actual results of longer term use. Something to consider. I am very vain about weight/size, so for me it's not worth the weight gain just to have a bigger chest. I can do that without any supplementation =)

what time of the month is it for you? I once experienced mid month spotting and when i asked the doctor about it they said it was quite normal, is caused by the egg being released. Maybe if you are having sore tummies as well it might be worth coming off PM until you know for sure or speaking to your doctor about it? Just suggestion.
