Hello! This is my first post, but I've been lurking for months. I love this forum and its wealth of information. You ladies are incredibly inspirational! I'm currently reading through the threads trying to find a solution to my no-show period. I'm NEVER late - unless I am pregnant, which I am definitely not.
Three months ago, I started off by taking BO. It didn't do anything as far as BE goes, but it made my entire cycle much easier - no cramping leading up to period, no mood swings, basically I felt great. But, me being impatient, I thought I'd do a little cleanse and start taking PM to see if that would work better. The first month I took it for a total of 9 days from the time my period ended until ovulation. Period came on time 15 days later. (For the first time in nearly a year, my gallbladder did not hurt during period. A plus for PM!). I thought, Great! Next cycle, I took the PM from the first day of my period up through ovulation, although I DID have a ton of bleeding, cramping and clots (sorry TMI!) with this cycle. I stopped at ovulation...and I'm still waiting for my period to come almost 4 weeks later. I'd been taking Ainterol 500 mg twice a day, but I'm suspecting that it's much too strong for me. I took only 1 for the first several days before working up to two. However, I'm 5' 6" and only around 103 lbs. Does that make a difference in how much I should take?
Also, I haven't taken ANYTHING for nearly 4 weeks. Is there a way to jumpstart my period again? I've tried extra vitamin C as well as parsley tea, but I'm still waiting.
I know this is a very long first post to wade through, and for those of you who've made it to the end, thank you. Short of a doctors visit (and having to fess up to screwing up my own hormones) is there anything that can be done?
Also, I know some prefer PM and some prefer BO, but do any of you take them during the same month, as in PM the first half and BO the second half? I've not done that, but was curious to see if anyone has tried.
Thank you for any advice you may have.
