Hi Melissa, I think I was on PM for about a year, a little less. It´s hard to say when I really stopped because I remember I was occasionally pumping and taking PM lower dose for a while and then somewhere in October I stopped. So now it's almost 4 months.
As for NBE in general I think it must be three years or so with breaks.
I have a dilema now. When I stopped PM my hair started falling out. I thought that shedding was because of stress due to the move abroad but then I read somewhere that estrogen makes your hair full and beautiful and once the estrogen level drops so does the hair, it starts falling out. When i was on PM my hair looked so good - it had a lot of body, was full and shiny. Then I lost a lot of hair after I stopped PM. So now I want to add a little bit of PM to get that hair back! As I don't want my boobs to grow now I think I should use really low doses of PM.
