Hey ladies sorry to barge in on you guys I just wanted to say that if you want to take pm and cycle it then the safest way to do it is to take it in the follicular phase which is from the first day of your period until 1 to 2 days before you ovulate. You can use basal body temperature charting to find out when you ovulate because not everyone ovulates at the same time and if you take pm for 15 days straight or more you might post pone your ovulation and mess up your cycle. I would start with a small amount the first month, no more then 500mg less would be better, to let your body get used to it first but thats just me, I just like to play it safe and probably no more then the first 12 days of your cycle if you have no idea when you ovulate. And no you don't need to use anything on the days that you are not taking pm unless you want to then you can add other herbs in the luteal phase (after ovulation) when you are not on pm. As far as I know this is one of the safest ways to start and you can always adjust it from there. There is also alot of other examples and useful information from many other users on this forum if you want to take some time to search and read it. Just so you know this is just the basics and by no means covers everything on how to take pm so please read read read and research for your own safety before you begin any herbs. I also recommend reading Genie's thread called "generic bo this time around" after bo she started pm and has alot of useful information on BBT and how to take pm safely.
Here is a link to some examples on how to cycle pm if you decide to go with it.

If you read the pm section of this forum you can find alot of examples there as well.
good luck and be safe
