HappyGrace Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I know I've seen this on here, but can't find it. Also I remember one was evening primrose oil-what is the dosing on this? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I have had success with Vitex (chasteberry) and natural progesterone cream. When I have run out, watch out!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 St. Johns Wort really helps me get through the grumpiness of pms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Mostly for pain in the chest area (if you know what I mean). It has worked wonders for that and I think that my moods are better as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I mean - isn't that the cure all for all "female complaints?";) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I used it for the ten days preceding my expected period. It improved my moods enormously. I haven't needed it recently but it was great at that time. The only side effect I found was that it tended to delay my periods, or so it seemed to me.

Miss Peregrine Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Natural progesterone for 10 days starting from ovulation. I do a half-dose, though. 1 x/day rather than 2. That seems to be my happy medium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amyable Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Calcium/magnesium is also supposed to help. I've tried it with varied success (mostly I think because I forget to take it! FWIW, LOL). I think 1200mg calcium, 600 mg magnesium is generally accepted, althoug I've heard more of a 1:1 ratio with the magnesium can be helpful (magnesium is good for anxiety).

sdWTMer Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I agree with the Evening Primrose Oil! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
