I’ve been having Agnus Castus for a month now, started last month when my period finished and stopped on the first day of my period (read somewhere you should take a break on the first day of your period).
I decided to take it because I had the worst PMS, mood swings, tender breasts, hot flushes, heavy period, you name the symptom and I had it. GP basically said everything was fine and I’m most probably going through peri-menopause. My cycle was 27 days (bleeding for 6) however this month my cycle was 32 days and I’m on the 4th day of my period and it seems to have stopped. This period was definitely lighter and DH is obviously delighted because I haven’t tried to kill him this month (I have not had any mood swings, outbursts and feel so happy within myself).
My only worry is the length of my period, I’ve always seen my period as my body’s way of getting rid of what it does not need but with my periods being lighter and shorter will there be a build up and I’ll have hell to pay later?
