I got my period today, so I started my next cycle of PM. I want to finish one full cycle at the full dose of PM and Greenbush, and if I still feel like nothing is happening, I'll finally do a saliva test. I still don't understand what sort of hormonal disorder would cause absolutely no symptoms, even when poked with a large stick in the form of loads of phytohormones.

If I get my hormones tested, I'll need to take a break from NBE for a full cycle in order to allow my hormone levels to stabilize before I test them. Then I'll need to take another break while I test them at least twice over the course of a cycle.

Tibetan, how often do you need to test and at what times over the course of a cycle? I'm surprised that Dr.Lee's site doesn't give more info on how to track hormonal changes over the course of a cycle.

They had me take it on day 20 (luteal) of my cycle. I guess they want the highest level of hormones. I am due for tests again in 2-3 months by my MD. But I think he is going to have me do blot testing with blood sample this time.

Its a bother to have to hassle with the waiting and the testing but let me say once again, at least you can rest with what NBE approach you choose based off of your tests. Its so individual it makes nothing but pure sense as to why all/any NBE methods don't work for some of us. You've got so many hormones at work here. Its far more than estrogen/progesterone/testosterone.
