Hey cousinrose!
Since this is my 2nd cycle using PC only but 4th cycle in using PC with lower doses of phyto estros,
I decided to use a little bit starting day 7 this time.
by the 15 day, I noticed a major shift into luteal by swelling. But then I kept on with PC but noticed 3 days into luteal, not much swelling, so I think I am now balancing out. I think by this next cycle, I will be ready for PM. And I will only be doing 50mg-150mg a day.

Its strange how you will notice the difference using PC a week earlier. My reason for thinking this was a great Idea for estro-dom women like us is because often times we grow on BC and if you look at many types of BC(whether they are estro/Progest or progest only), you'll notice the low micro mini doses of progestins being released throughout the whole entire cycle of 3 weeks. To me this was my "Ah-hah" moment. Then I confirmed it had worked for me when I tried it.
If you don't feel that shift or notice any swelling, I think you may be balancing out and I would go for adding PM with your PC.

So maybe try it again a week earlier in your next cycle and see if you notice the "reset" or sensitivity when you change over to luteal phase.
