Guess what I got for Christmas???...
A 1/4 inch on the tape!!!
Measured yesterday and I'm at 36.25, yay!!! (I'm at day 22 in my cycle.)
I added PC cream the day after Ovulation (12/18) but I think it's too soon to have any affect other than the acne that popped up 3 days after starting it. I do usually get just 1 or 2 the last week of my cycle just before I start menses, but I got 1 deep one on my forehead and about 4-5 whiteheads along my jawline on the right side of my face only (weird!)
I might have started with a little too much PC (hard to measure accurately), I cut back to about 1/8th tsp and I haven't gotten anymore and the ones I got are starting to go away.
Or it might be my body adjusting to a lower amount of estrogen in general. I believe at the beginning of the thread I mentioned I was on 1500-2000mg PM daily, and that I had discontinued in October and took nothing until November 1st when I started the Flax & Soy just before my November cycle (11/4) the 1st & 2nd cycle I did not stop taking during my cycle,... I didn't see mention of stopping until recently. I will try stopping during my cycle next week.
Side note-I'm a little paranoid with messing with my hormones bc I've been in/out of menopause twice in the last 5 years, mostly stress related but I was playing with BO for a while during one of the times I had issues. (something for another thread). That was one reason I took the PM, and took it continuously as I thought it was aiding in keeping my cycles regular. I know it was a tremendous help with hot flashes, that was one of the most obvious benefits to me when I stopped it,... they came back. The hair on my legs also seems to be growing alot faster, and I have a little BO (before stopping it I didnt really need to wear deo unless I was working out, even in the hot summer).
Anyway that's all for now.
