There are different phases of a womans menstrual cycle. Herbs that mimic the hormones in the body should be taken when the body is entering those phases.
Follicular phase
Period
Luteal phase
Follicular is right after your period. period = period and luteal is the phase right before you get your period, when you are or have ovulated.
Luteal is the time to take progesterone cream and anything progesterone, follicular is when to take herbs that mimic estrogen, like PM. If you were to take PM everyday you would be taking it during your luteal phase, messing your hormones up.. you would be putting estrogen in your body when estrogen should be falling and progesterone should be rising.

Again, thank you so much! Very straightforward. So, I should be taking PM during my follicular phase, then but right after my period (how long does that last?) I should take a prog cream? Great! What should I take during my period, if anything?
Sorry for the barrage of questions!
