So just some observations. So far I'm beginning to wonder a bit about the way PM works due to my response to it.

I have had regular hormone panels done for almost a year now, while trying to get my endocrine system back on track, so I know my hormone levels and the response my body has to each fluctuation like the back of my hand.

My period which is the lowest level of estrogen and progesterone are usually a bugger. I go from being crazy low in hormones to barely existing hormones. Facial pressure, headache, dizziness. This has been greatly improved as of lately, but I noticed yesterday when I take the pm pills, within about 15 minutes, I begin to have some of my symptoms of a drastic and sudden estrogen and progesterone drop. I am able to bring this to a stop, but have to smother on my estriol and progesterone cream in order to do so. One by itself doesn't work.

My understanding was that pm increases the estrogen load, but my body and experience are making me question this. I'm going to drop my pm pills to 1 a day and see if it helps and then gradually increase if my body cooperates. It also may be as simple as I may not be able to use them during my period and will have to change to one of the cycles that runs from day 7 -? I guess I will have to look further into those programs to get a better idea of how they work and see what happens.
