So... I realize I'm eventually going to need to take breaks with my plan. I also know that I -DO- have a visitor each month. The problem is, I don't have all the right plumbing, so there isn't any indicator so simple as bleeding. I also don't usually recognize that I'm PMS'ing while I'm doing so, I usually only recognize that I HAD just BEEN PMSing after the fact...
So I need to keep my plan completely stable for the next at least 4 or 5 months IMO, try to let my cycle get used to the new hormone balance, and then a couple months to count between the end of each PMS period. I'll then go a week (7 days) prior to that and take my breaks at that time from then on. I'll also start ramping up the PM and PC once I've got my cycle established.
I also had a wild surge of energy when I started the PM, and quite a bit of energy after I started everything else, but by the end of the week, my energy is tapering back off.
What do I think is causing this? Chinese Skullcap. I think I've actually managed to take my T TOO LOW! Who'd've ever thunk someone with my mega doses of T could ever manage that with herbs? So I'm gunna scale CS back to 3 pills 3 times daily from 4 pills and see if my T stabilizes.
I know I'm no where near my monthly, that comes around the end/beginning of the month somewhere for sure. Always has. I think more towards the beginning. I'm actually pretty sure I actually inadvertently started right around the end of it, lol. It's always been so mild before though... We'll see what it does now that I'm on all this E.
Once I feel completely comfortable with my dosing levels, I'll keep them completely level for the aforementioned 4 to 5 months to let my body become accustomed to the new hormone balance and then to try to determine exactly what my cycle is. If I mess with the hormone levels mid-cycle, that could completely throw off my cycle.
