Now that I've had time to think about it, I realize that I really have no idea how much PC cream is appropriate for someone who does not have a progesterone deficiency. Even if I take an extremely thorough hormone test, it will not tell me what dose to use . The only way that the test will tell me something relevant about PC use is if I turn out to have a progesterone deficiency, which is pretty unlikely due to my lack of symptoms.

I think I need to tread carefully and cut my PC use down to a bare minimum. I can't afford to forget that Ginie had a diagnosed progesterone deficiency. I think I will lean more towards the method that lled34aa is using, although it's worth pointing out that she also has a progesterone deficiency. I'm considering using PC to bring on menses, but only when the cycle goes beyond 31 days, which is the maximum normal length for me at this stage in my life. It usually varies between 27-31 days, but 29 is the average. If 3 days of use does not start my period, than I'll stop the PC until it does start. I'm not aware of any normal, healthy young women who have grown while taking PC for more than a few days per cycle. I don't want to use PC for more than 3 days at a time, unless my BBT chart indicates possible low progesterone. If my charts do end up making me suspicious, then I will definitely get a blood test.
