Do you have to start with your period?
May 23 2006 at 2:21 PM Persephonee (Login Persephonee)
How important is it to start taking herbs with the first day of your period? I have been taking milk thistle for a little over a week and I just got my period today but wasn't expecting it until this weekend so I didn't get herbs yet.
Could I start in a few days or should I just wait until next month?

Not everyone here is so percise as to when to take herbs and they have had great sucess with NBE. Start taking them when you get them. But you can check back through the posts for more info on this. I know SugarQ has posted the exact reason why herbs are best started on certain days. I don't think it will make that much differece itonly a couple days off, and besides you said you come early anyway. Good Luck, this probably wasn't much help. I know detailed info is in previous posts.

you can take the herbs pretty much when ever you want. the rule of thumb is that you take it on day 1 of your cycle but you can take it like a birth control pill (so you have about 5-8 days left to start taking the herbs). or you can wait till day 15 when breasts are at their largest and estrogen and progrogesterone levels are at their peak. when you take the herbs then you might encourage extra growth or at least reduce shrinkage when your period starts up again. it really doesnt matter. there are many theories surrounding why you take herbs at surtain times but its really not a big deal. if you can are patient enough to wait at least till day 15 or the start of your next cycle(day 1) then just do that.

Thanks Snowflake and SugarQ for the response. I guess I'll start on day 15. Wish me luck. I'm still debating on the fenugreek issue. I'm paranoid about lactating. LOL
Thanks again

Best of Luck with your routine. RC,FN,WY, are always oppsions if Fenugreek dosn't work for you. Maybe half your fenugreek with half of something else. Anyway, good luck!!!!

It's a theory, but so far nobody has come up with a convincing argument why you need to start taking herbs at any specific time.

Thanks for the responses. I'll keep the RC, WY and FN in mind. I think I may start out with a low dosage of the fenugreek and then half it with something else. Thanks!
