Hi ladies, I'm new here but have been lurking for months and have learned so much! I'm wanting to add some PM cream to my journey but I'm a bit confused about the follicular phase vs luteal phase. I understand Follicular is days 1-14 off your cycle and luteal would cover the rest. However, I'm on the pill for medical reasons. My period is NEVER in sync with my pill! My pill has 3 active weeks and one off week when my period should come. Instead my period seems to show up randomly during the 3rd week of active pills. It only lasts a day or 2 and never into the off week. Should I be calculating my phases based on the day of my actual period or the days my pill says?
