I decided maybe ramping up PM pills sooner is a better idea, normally I ramp up later in my cycle like around day 17 but I didnt get a lot of feelings last month so I went to 2 siriporn last night (day 13) I only did 3 days of 1 pill since I start my PM on day 11.

See my thread for info on the female cycle. Estrogen tends to, on average, reach it's ceiling around day 14 of the cycle and then start falling to reach a valley by day 16. It then rises again to half the ceiling and stays steady until it starts falling again day 22, reaching its floor by around day 27. Ramping up while it's falling probably wouldn't do you much good if any. So this makes sense.

Honestly, you might consider starting to ramp up around day 8 and starting it around day 3. You might even consider trying out my dosing plan, but with PM only, maybe PC. I've designed it based on a 28 day cycle, so you might need to stretch it out some if you have a longer cycle. IMO, it'd probably be best to simply elongate the floor segment though. The "floor" is from day 27 to 3.

Good luck!

Thanks Abidrew. Im not sure how much this all applies to me since I am on birth control. I havent found ANYTHING on what it does to your hormone levels, except info saying it basically keeps your hormones in the same phase of your cycle (what phase that is IDK) I even called the Dr. and talked to the nurse and she seemed clueless. I got tested on day 20 or 21 with like less than .5 estrogen, 60 progesterone (which is a little high for those on birth control but low for a normal person) low testosterone and high androgens (which I think I have changed with diet).

I dont know if I am still getting any estrogen spike early in the month, so I will probably test that at some point. It seems that my body is still making a little progesterone in the luteal phase though.
