So I'm day 28 of my cycle. I measured this morning and was sitting at 40, several hours after pumping. I'm not sure if it's NB swelling or pm swelling, but I'll take it.
As for how pm worked this month for me and my peri symptoms, I was disappointed and think it can be better. I'm going to create a completely new plan for myself focused on how pm works and how perimenopause effects the body. I can say that whether I ovulate or not really isn't a big deal to me nor is whether my cycle extends a little longer. I've got my kids and nature is saying it's time to call it quits anyway, so this is about making it through this transition as smoothly as possible since mine seems to be a bit more severe than the norm. The migraines are dibilitating and while I can stop them by rubbing on hormone creams, I would like to just stop them period. I can't spend my life having to lock myself in a dark room every few hours until the creams kick in.
I will be increasing my msm, and not because of nbe, but I discovered another wonderful side effect of it. It clears psoriasis. My scalp is in the best shape it's been in for years. After doing some research on using it for treatment, I'm still a few grams short of what is needed to trigger a complete recovery.
Since I am hormonally in between the menopause state the allows women to just take the pm throughout the month and the ovulating state that requires a break, I am going to do both.
I want to be sure that I put this out there and there is no misunderstanding. This is NOT the standard way pm should be cycled and is an experiment, so please do not follow my routine, especially if you are not going through the change currently.
This is just the prelimenary of my planning and may well be adjusted by the time tomorrow starts on my day one cycle. I also would say that it very well could change throughout the month or at the end of my next cycle depending on my results and how things feel. Once my body somewhat tells me I'm on the right track I will retest and see what the hormone panel tells me also.
I take my supplements with a glass of milk. Though in the mornings I mix in an extra protien high calcium sugar free carnation breakfast pack. Love them and they are healthy.

Since the Siriporn capsules are 100mg, I will be using gelitan capsules and splitting some of my siriporn pills in half to make some 50mg ones. That will allow me to play with the amounts and lower or raise them as this process goes on.
