Hi Sweatpea, on the day when you see the drop in temperature. But you can also do as Soonenough did - continue with lower dose until day 21. I totally agree with Soonenougha and I couldn't say it better - you just have to be careful with PM, start with low doses and increase when you get more understanding how things work FOR YOU. We all are different and your hormonal status is not like mine or Soonenough, so I just hope that you'll be patient enough to figure out YOUW OWN way without doing too much harm to your body. I'm glad you diceded to do BBT charting. For me it's been the best thing I've done for myself, I prefer knowing what is going on, not guessing.

I don't know where in the cycle you are now but PC is OK to use in luteal phase. I think you should give your body time to recover after "PM attack". Use it until your period and then go back to your experiments with phytoestrogens. PC will make your estrogen receptors VERY sensitive, so, if you want to take phytoestrogens together with PC the results are unpredictable. You may become so sensitive to phytoestrogen that you'll get the symptoms of estrogen dominance very quickly. You may not. Nobody will tell you for sure, you just have to read more about PC and phytoestrogens. I never use PC together with phytoestrogens. If I use PC then the next cycle I react much more to PM.
