You can actually start taking PM the day you start, but most choose to start around day 7 or after your period ends. Take on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. Stay around 300-500mgs a day. But start out on a lower does and ramp up.

Some women cycle, some don't. Personally I'm estrogen dominate. Low estrogen and even lower progesterone. You need both working in tandem to make this work. If you become estro dominate (headaches) then you should get some progesterone cream to help.

I started taking PM on day one. When I maxed my dose id use some PM cream every few days to help. My breasts feel squishy and swollen so its working well for me. But you gotta do a little experimenting to figure out what works for you.

And if you've got excess androgen then spearmint tea or SP to help.

Good luck!

Thank you, Kaitlyn, for your advice. To combat excess androgen, should I drink spearmint tea everyday? I heard that saw palmetto wasn't readily absorbed when taken orally. Also on my ainterol, it says to take 2 a day (each capsule is 500mg), but you suggested to stay at 300-500mg a day, does it matter if you cycle or not? I've read that women are taking 1500-2000mg a day of PM and have gotten great results. I know I am a slow responder so should I take the recommended dosage on the label, up it to 1500mg, or stay low at 500mg? I think I'm going to take it for the first half of my cycle and use a progesterone cream for the latter half. Once, again, any advice will be appreciated.
