I was looking through Ginie's program again and I realized that she never used B-up drop or any other estrogenic herbs during the second half of her cycle. In some ways that makes Chiyomilk's and Ginie's programs very different from each other, especially if the pig placenta contributed nothing to their programs hormonally. The B-up in Chiyomilk's program may have contributed phytoestrogens, and endogenous prolactin and progesterone, but the amounts in B-up are so low that it may have done only one of these three things or even none of them. It's very hard to say which hormones were being affected enough to make a difference. Ginie's program is much easier to understand because the only hormone being adjusted during the second half of her cycle is progesterone.

I still don't entirely understand how Ginie decided when to use PC. When she did take it, how long did she take it? Did she always take it for the same amount of days or did it vary? Was the decision entirely based on BBT charting? She references Dr.Lee's site as a guide for how to use PC. I checked it out by I feel even more confused. Dr Lee recommends that premenopausal women take PC cream when they have an anovulatory cycle. He also says "For premenopausal women the usual dose is 15-24 mg/day for 14 days before expected menses, stopping the day or so before menses." Isn't that 13 days?

Does anyone know when, why, and for how long Ginie used PC? On what days did she use PM? Did she use the cream throughout the month? I think I completely misunderstood the way she cycles between PM and PC. Is there anything else I missed or misunderstood about Ginie's or Chiyomilk's program?
