Well I'm down to 1 pill a day, 500mg and I'm doing just fine. When I emailed the lady however, she told me that I should split up the 500mg dosage and take 250mg twice a day. Apparently the body can only process so much at one time? I had thought that Isabelle had said that it doesn't really matter. I'm gonna have to try emptying a capsule in to my milk so that I can ramp up to 750mg, maybe the last couple of on days this cycle. Apparently I'm gonna have to do this really slowly. Hopefully it'll be tolerable.

Boobs are starting to become sore again, been back on PM for about four days now. I hope that I can get some more growth, like I did last month!

Weird thing though: I measured 33" today. That's a whole inch less than I usually measure but my boobs are DEFINITELY bigger. They fill my bras better, much more to grab, boyfriend even commented on it and he has no idea about any of this. Anyone have any thoughts on why my measurement would go down? Hm, curious.

If you are a PM user suffering from nausea, try this:

Hm, well I'm no longer nauseous nor do I have any of the cramps/diarrhea and I've been taking 1 500mg pill for the last two days. Do you still think it might be infected, or just that I was overloading my body? I read somewhere that taking too much PM can do that. Also, if I do boil it, I'm assuming that I then drink the water/milk afterwards to ingest the PM?

[Isabelle]

Yes, drink the water or the milk. Can you still find back where you read it? You'll be helping a lot of people here.

Is just one site I read it on, I read a couple other articles about it too. Also, apparently soonenough experienced the same symptoms when she overloaded herself with too much PM. I'm doing just fine now on 500mg a day! However, I'm not experiencing half as many growing pains or soreness as I did last cycle, which I attribute to the lesser amount of PM. I'm honestly not really experiencing any at all, MAYBE some fleeting pains or itchiness once or twice a day and they aren't sore at all. ): I have only been back on PM (only 500mg at that) for 5 days though.
Thinking maybe I'll try to ramp up to 750mg by pouring half a capsule in a glass of milk. Hopefully that should cover up the taste. I'm also using PM serum at night, it absorbs very well and I truly enjoy it. I also have one more bottle of 45 PM caps to get through. I think I'll be ordering Siriporn after that just because I'll be able to ramp up slowly. Maybe, we'll see.

I'm going to buy some Progesterone cream I think, and use it for the 7 days before my inactive pills instead of using FG. I researched and found that it was fine to use with BC pills and actually helps control some of the side effects. I love being on BC but it really did kill my libido. Being on PM really helped bring it back although sometimes I feel estrogen dominant, so I think that just a touch of PC for 7 days will help.

New routine

Day 1 - 12 500mg PM (will ramp up to 750mg) + PM serum once at night (First day after period ends)
Day 13 - 17 250mg (will ramp up to 500mg) + PM serum once at night
Day 18 - 24 Progesterone Cream
Day 25 - Day 28 1x 610mg FG? I'm not really sure what to do here because these are my inactive days. Advice would be appreciated. (:

Hi Run.rabbit,

Thank you for digging into the nausea issue. At least we have a better picture of PM overdose symptoms now.

I don't know about days 25-28. If you have bad PMT, you can use a PMT herb, but vitex agnus castus increases LH, which is pointless on bc. Dong Quai increases progesterone, and just prolongs the luteal phase.

The only other thing I can think of is to journal your symptoms on days 25-28, and keep FG and WY handy in case of estrogen or progesterone dominance.

[Run.Rabbit]

Thanks Isabelle!
I figure that right now, since those are my only four days off of synthetic hormones, I'll just take a small break from everything. I've got both WY and FG on hand, so if I start experiencing one symptom or another, I can counter it. That's a great idea!

I opened a capsule and put all 500mg in a half glass of milk yesterday. It was so easy to drink! It barely tasted like anything was in there and I started feeling tingles and aches just an hour or two later. I then emptied ~250mg in to another glass of milk and drank that. So far today I haven't had any cramping or GI issues and I took another 500mg in milk this morning. I plan on taking another 250mg tonight and continue that until Friday. I'll then drop down to 500mg until I start progesterone cream.

My boobs are feeling bigger again! They're not really sore, but they're starting to fill out my bras really nicely. I have cleavage in my 32Bs that I've never had before! I will be seeing the boyfriend this weekend, so we'll see if he makes any comments. The two or three pimples that I had are now gone, and all the other benefits of PM are still here. This stuff seriously rocks.

Happy growing.

That's great, Run.Rabbit

The BF will notice you've got all your hormones running like well exercised horses. Men are genetically predisposed to spot that in women

Boobs are the same as they have been pretty much since what I think was my last growth spurt a week or so ago. They're a little sore to the touch right now, but I took 500mg this morning and actually skipped out on my 500mgs on Saturday and Sunday due to being out of town. I still got a couple pains over the weekend though so that's pretty neat. Also, no GI issues at all since I dropped to 500mg then ramped up to 750mg and then down to 500mg. I'll be stopping PM caps tomorrow.

Will be starting progesterone cream tomorrow, almost end of cycle 2. I know that progesterone is the main hormone during this time, but I also know that estrogen doesn't drop to zero. So I'm wondering if I should continue with the serum or not, so that I get a small amount of estrogen? My serum came with instructions and I'll need to reread them but I want to say that they say to use both progesterone cream and the serum. I'll have to double check.

I think I'm about in between half a cup/a cup away from my original goal of being a 34B/32C. (I'm right between band sizes. 32 in most, but 34 in VS.) I'm hoping that I can reach a very full 34B by November! That gives me two months and I'm hoping that if I continue growing like this, that I might just be able to do that!

Happy growing!

I couldn't find any progesterone cream at Walmart or Walgreens! Boo. I'll go try Target sometime, or just order some online. Sucks though because that totally screwed up my plan for this second cycle. Measured 34" the other day, boobies were the biggest they had ever been...ever. They're a little deflated today but I haven't taken ANYTHING for like...four days now since I couldn't find any cream.

I figure that maybe I'll just use the serum for the next two days until my four inactive pills. Then on day 5 I'll start with 500mg for like four days, up to 750mg for four days, then 1,000mg for four days, down to 750mg for four days, 500mg for four days. Hopefully I'll have cream by then.

I'm going to slowly ramp up and down each cycle because it seems like every time I stop the PM from a high dose, I get an upset stomach. Hopefully this way by body will get used to the fluctuating doses of hormones.

I'm quite happy with the 34" measurement. I've measured 34" before but they've never had so much volume as they do now. It's almost more than a handful for me, which has never happened. It seems like I'm just getting a little bit bigger with each cycle. If only stuff would work out so that I can get one planned routine successfully!
