As of 3 days ago, I'm finally getting consistent noticeable swelling and pain. Before now, I've just had the occasional twinge, and swelling so slight that I was tempted to measure it to figure out if it was real or imaginary. And even those slight symptoms have only happened maybe 3 or 4 times since I started herbal NBE 9 months ago. I didn't even get anywhere near this much swelling the first time I tried PC, but that was immediately before I started my first cycle of PM. I'm also using Ro-bust cream along with it this time. I'm thinking of taking a pic later today just to keep a record of the difference, since I don't take measurements anymore.

At the last minute I've decided that I'm putting off my hormone test until after the next cycle. I want to continue my ramp up of PM next month and give this program one more chance to make a difference. I'm also considering trying something a little different next month, but Im going to need to do a lot of research. I don't plan to add any new supplements, I just want to try a very different schedule of PM and PC. I really don't want to take a break from my program until I've at least finished my ramp up and figured out my correct dosage. The hormone test may give me some general idea about how to structure my program, like whether or not to include supplements for high testosterone. It could also tell me some important info about my thyroid and cortisol, assuming that I have issues with those things, but since I don't really have any surefire symptoms, I'm not sure if I want to buy the extra testing. Unfortunately, what this testing cant and won't tell me is exact dosage. I wish I could take the test and come to the conclusion that I need exactly 3.5 PM pills and 1/16th tsp of PM cream, but it just doesn't work that way. That sort of thing can only be found out through trial and error while paying attention to my symptoms.
