I think FG just helps to supplement estrogen so that you're not on such a strong herb like PM all cycle. I'm sure PM would still work without it.
On that note, period came a day early. I was supposed to start my inactive pills today, but I got a surprise yesterday. I didn't take my last active pill and figured that I'd just go ahead and do 3 of my inactive days (because I want to move my cycle up a day). Still taking 1 FG a day. This period has been weird though, on this birth control my periods are always SUPER light and I've never had cramps before, pretty much in my life. This cycle, my period is moderate (I would consider heavy, most other people probably not) and I've had some cramps that are pretty unpleasant. I can only assume this is from PM since nothing else has ever affected my cycle. Should I drop the PM completely in the 2nd half and only take FG? Or do you guys think my body will even itself out by next cycle since this was only my first one? The only thing I really care about is that 1. Hopefully this doesn't mean that I'm ovulating, what with the heavier period and cramps and 2. That AF stops when I take my first active pill tomorrow night. I'll start PM again on Saturday....
Hm.
