I personally prefer Pharma and give it priority over herbal or anything else, again that's my opinion. Now did I address all the snide condescending know it all aspects? I can post sources for what I'm saying, not just "my doctor told me this" source. Doctors have been known to lie for various reasons, at least as seen in my medical history, including to placate a patient. As far as mixing herbal and pharma, think about that when you're taking Etabs or patches and having a tea to boost you're energy, technically, you're mixing. Anything else that needs to be addressed?
Anyway have fun and good luck on you're journeys, I'm out, too much acidity here for me.

I thought it would probably be a good idea to test one first in case I ever Did have to rely soley on them for any length of time, and there`s no alergic rxn or discomfort, thouse some of the sticky does come creep out around the edges on the first night of wearing it (I got stuck to my nighty! LOL). I`ll leave it on for the full 7 days (why waste it?) and they should provide a nice little backup if ever I run out of my regular stash, at least it`ll prevent any reversal long enough to get a new supply if ever there was a problem.
I must admit, i Was kind of expecting some nice estrogen spikes as a result (I love that feeling!), but nada, it`s still perfectly normal and balanced.
