Well, my average PM intake over the month is 4 x500mg per day. During the high days I go up to 6 x500mg, but approaching the end of the 24 days I drop it to 2x500mg for a few days. all that very roughly mimics a GG hormone production cycle. I don't know if it does make any difference but it can't do any harm. Also there is a suspicion that varying the levels reduces the chances of the body getting too used to a constant level and switching off. I've always thought that my most intense 'growing pain's are on both sides of the ramp ( up and down) not actually at the top.
Having said all that, I went through three pots of PG cream without being convinced that it really did anything. For the past 3 months, I've been taking Microgest instead and I do think that is working. However I've dropped the PM to 1500mg per day because I had a strong suspicion that I was getting a too high overall hormone level.
