They say that when you first start using it in csn wake up the, estrogen receptors and make everything worse for a bit till gets, better i didn't experience this but a, lady i know started using it for her spotting it got worse with clots in same cycle then stopped and normally she spots all the way through, guess its a case of sticking it out seeing if it helps or trying something else. Although they do say to give it at least 3 month. 💗🤗😘

Yes for a least three month if your symptoms get no better then leave it. What are you using it for? Xxx

I did research in it before and it says symptoms can get worse before better due to it waking up estrogen receptors something along them lines. I found it helped me but it got expensive and I run out so I changed to vitex which seems to be working a treat 💗🤗😘

I personally wouldn't stop it I'd, continue it till your period would normally be due. You never know it could just be a breakthrough bleed. Just continue to use it how you intended, that's what I'd do my friend bled with clots for 3-3 days it stopped them her period came like normal, a week and half later. 💗🤗😘
