Mellephant, you tried PM along with a progestin based PC but you didn't grow? That's very interesting. I've been trying to figure out why some people get spectacular results from it and others get nothing. I have a sneaking suspicion that the type of progestin used might be the key. The progestins used in BC are sometimes very odd. Many of them dont act much like progesterone at all. Some are progesterone agonists while others are antagonists. There are even some that behave more like estradiol, and they can have varying effects on lots of other hormones as well. I find it all very confusing. Exactly what was the name of the birth control you were using? Do you know what kind of progestin it contained? I wish more people would try a basic PM + BC program so we could build up a list of which BC types work alongside PM, and which don't. Of course it might have something to do with individual hormone balance as well. Ive been thinking about trying nuvaring with PM after I run out of herbs, if cycling doesn't work. The only results Ive seen this cycle are slightly leaky boobs
