I did not know this! if this is a hard fact it would explain why i haven't heard of anyone taking PM on top of an herbal regimen.
I have been on a fenugreek, wild yam, red clover and saw palmetto regimen for over a month and seen some small improvement. I ordered a bottle of Nature's answer PM to ramp up my regimen after my monthly cleanse. I planned on taking just one pill on top of my regimen for the first 14 days of my cycle and skipping it the last 14 days.
I always wondered why most programs make it seem like it has to be one or the other, and why noone has tried simply doing both. It seems like so many have gotten great results from PM, so I've been wanting to try it but i'm afraid of losing growth if i stop my herbal regimen (which seems to be working but its really too soon to tell).
if what you say is true, should I take PM for the first 2 weeks of my cycle with no other herbs, and switch it for my regular herbal regimen in the later 2 weeks?
lol sorry about all the questions, this information just threw a major kink in my plan and i'm wondering if i should switch and take the risk or just forego the PM for my regular routine.
