Did I miss something in "Fighting Female Hormones Naturally 101"?
Am I not suppose to take this during, uh Aunt Flo's visit? Should I take a break for that week?
I ask because Aunt Flo is overstaying her alloted visit time. I have used EPO before and not noted this. This is my first experience with Flax Oil. What I'm using is a mix.
And I just LOVE telling everything about myself, but I really need someone who knows to give me some insight. Help?
Input appreciated.

I don't take Flax oil but I do eat Flax seeds daily in my yogurt.
One thing I noticed when I took Cod Liver oil is that it made my periods last 7 days (when typically they last 4). It also caused horrible acne and anxiety for me.
We are all so different- what helps one person can make another person's body wig out.
Maybe give it another month and see if your cycle is this way again so you'll know for certain.

Thank for posting to me, spriggy. I and my post were feeling a bit lonely.
> One thing I noticed when I took Cod Liver oil is that it made my periods last 7 days (when typically they last 4).
~~~Yep, that's the finding I'm having. It could just be a quirk as what isn't quirky with my hormones these days?
>It also caused horrible acne and anxiety for me.So far, so good with my "women's mix" except for the aforementioned. Even if that is the culprit for the longer bleeding time, I'm not sure right now IF that would be a deal breaker.
Fish Oil, which I think is generally good for a number of reasons, caused the acne breakouts for me. Thankfully, it did not ramp up anxiety but the breakout issue was distrubing and didn't do much for feeling better about my, at least, outward self.

~~~ I think I will do that and see how things go..
Thanks again.
