A lot of people seem to have period irregularity when taking PM. Has anyone continued to take the contraceptive pill at the same time? I've tried a number of herbs - wonderup, single herbs etc etc before and always stopped taking birth control pills when doing so. Thinking about continuing taking microgynon with PM as a way of avoiding period cycle probs. This a good idea? or am i unlikely to not get any growth?

Hi, the PM pills and the BCP will likely "cancel eachother out" ...the BCP might not work as well and you NEED it to and the PM might not have any effect because the two compound actually "compete for the same receptor sites ...the estrogen receptor sites in hormone dependant tissues. Best not to combine them...try titration..start low and build up the dose gradually.
Maybe, even use only 1 pill 2 x day for the full 15 days. Then stop and resume in 15 days regardless of when your period comes. Repeat. Then in the 2nd month try 1 in the morning and 2 in the evening. 3rd month...2 morning + 2 evening.
Remember you don't HAVE to take 4 a day!!!

Thanks - that sounds like a good idea.
I've always used the highest dose of single herbs in the past, got really good results for the first month and then no growth at all for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th months, so maybe by building up i'll avoid that problem too[/size]
