I have read that taking PM pills will not work if you are on BCP, but does anyone know if PM serums or lotions will work?

As far as the BCP goes...it is common opinion that a serum or lotion is the way to go, because it is less affected by the internal hormones that the BCP has control of.
PM does not affect the effectiveness of the BCP, rather the other way around...PM may not be as effective while on BCP.
The brand of cream I use is Mirifem which I bought on eBay. They say with their capsules not to take them while using the bcp, but that it is okay to use the cream.
That being said...i'm also taking PM internally while on the BCP...a 2 month supply (by my program) only cost me AUD$15 including international postage...so i'm not too fussed if they don't do much.
When you're deciding on a particular brand...check out their FAQ's, or ask a rep to get their opinion...but the above is generally the case.
Hope this helps!

im on the depo shot, which is progesterone-based, so it might have different results than an estrogen-based pill... what do you think?
and how is it going for you so far??

I take my bcp first thing in the morning, then my PM (i'm only taking one a day) mid afternoon, to limit any negative effects either could be having on the other, but again, the pills didn't cost me much, so I don't mind if they don't make a difference. I'll just stick with this combination of activities and herbs and such because it is making a difference.
emmie, are you taking any other herbs and such? It would be interesting to see the differences in our progress...though I have a feeling your PM pill is a great deal stronger than mine...

I am definately much more full though, but I have absolutely no idea what is causing it. I'm also using the electric massager talked about in the main forum, plus taking individual herbs.
