I'm a college student and I have irregular periods. Can this still be an effective form of BC? I'm really just looking for a non-hormonal method of BC

If you want non-hormonal BC get the Paraguard copper IUD!!! I wish I could choose that wonderful non-hormonal option, but unfortunately I am allergic to metal can't even wear jewelry, so take advantage of that awsm non-hormonal option since I can't!

Officially, I believe the answer to that is yes, with the caveat that it obviously doesn't protect you against sexually transmitted diseases, just helps prevent pregnancy. However, in practice, if you are not totally regular in your use and in your body's patterns, Lady Comp can take a very long time (many months/cycles) to start telling you days that it's safe to have sex without much risk of pregnancy, other than the first few days of your period, and when it does, it's still adding them very slowly, maybe one or two days in a cycle. So, unless you are extremely patient and have a very regular, never-changing daily schedule (Lady Comp needs to take your temperature at a certain time of day, every day, and after you've slept several hours, so no all-nighters or parties), AND are willing to wait months before becoming sexually active without also using condoms at the same time... in effect, the answer is no. If you're looking for reliable non-hormonal birth control, and are at low risk for sexually transmitted diseases, try the copper IUD, instead.

It might not be as effective. I have very regular cycles but my temperature doesn't go up and down as much as it is supposed to so I had more red lights than most people do. I know it says in the booklet that for the best accuracy, your cycle should be regular.

It seems that this product works differently for every woman, it basically depends on your own cycle. Sometimes you can have a sudden rise of hormones that Clearblue will detect. In this case you should have intercourse when you detect your first peak (steady smiley). Good Luck.

Sorry, I'm not sure about that. I did try them and they hurt my stomach a little. Their like accidopholis if you've ever tried that and I hate to say it but these pills are only a temporary fix. When I stopped them the odor of BV came right back with discharge so unless your willing to take them forever then goodluck. I tried CALCIUM w/ MAGNESIUM & ZINC included AND THAT HELPED BV A LITTLE MORE BUT AGAIN IT'S JUST TEMPORARY. THE SMELL AND DISCHARGE COMES RIGHT BACK IF YOU STOP THE PILLS.

I believe it's all natural...things like macca root. I now buy it at Whole Foods. It's been a miracle pill for me with zero side affects (and I'm even prone to heart palpitations and anxiety...but it didn't affect me negatively at all). I'm just peri menopausal but the hot flashes were awful!

I think, when it comes to hormones ( of any kind ), the body response will be different with each person. Nothing happened to me but I used it incorrectly, for quite a while so, I will know the answer to that question down the line.

You should give it a shot, natural is the only way to go for me,give it a couple of weeks anyway,good stuff and it works..

I'm pretty sure thats not it's purpose but I have always had long hair so I can't tell you if it helped w/ that or not. It's suppose to bring back Your natural hormones during pre or during menopause. It can help w/ many issues and I have noticed it working w/ my body to help issues not listed. These are the listed self - Evaluations questions from Never to Constantly: Headaches, increased heart rate, sweat more often, mood swings, cry more often, Hot flashes, vaginal dryness, burning, and or itchiness. I needed it for Hot flashes. Sorry if I wasn't any help. &#9825;

My understanding is that you can. I have a 32 yr old daughter with the same issue and it has brought her much relief. I believe the Smoky Mt people recommend a different dosage schedule for premenopausal people. Also they carry a product called DIM that has really helped, along with this product in dealing with estrogen dominance. Good luck- I can't say enough good about these products

Nope I quickly got tired of doing it. I saw a slight dif but it wasn't much and once I stopped it went away. Permanent results will likely only come from surgery unfortunately. I think at some point down the line that's what Im going to do. However, don't let that discourage you from trying. Its a very cheap item just realize it will be a lifestyle change for like well... ever! So your bf or hubby better like it lol mine thought it was ridiculous!

I've been dealing with menopause for years now and it certainly makes a difference in that situation but previously I'd always read 3 weeks on, one off. I would go by your naturopath's suggestion first and if you feel that a different schedule would bring better results perhaps try a couple months of the 12-26 schedule and see if there's a noticeable difference.

I used mine everyday, first thing in the morning, about 5 days after my period ended...careful, the line is super faint!

Hi, I started on the 1st day of my period. Before taking the tea I was regular, I had to stop because it messed my cycle up.

I have course hair and it has worked for me. I've noticed my hair get thinner and not showing up as fast. Hope this helps.

It works immediately for me. I don't take all the time only for 2 or 3 days due to pms symptoms. But it works within one hour and my mood is back to normal.

No I would follow what the monitor states to do, count from Day 1 and usually by day 6 or 7 of cycle it starts having you test, it doesn't matter length of period monitor will get to know your own unique body. I had been ovulating every 14 days and the first month I used monitor I had peaks on Days 17 and 18 and got pregnant first month, the monitor does know what it's doing �

Sorry for the late response. Honestly, I don't know. I started the tea either on the last day of my cycle or 1-2 days later. What I read was that the tea would regulate your cycle if you weren't regular. That has been my situation for my whole life. I got pregnant before the next period. Try and go to their website. Which is what I did before I bought the tea. There was list of the most commonly asked questions and I believe you could submit questions as well. Good luck!

Thank you Elizabeth and Christina - I was confused by the comments because many of the reviews seem to imply they were being used for menstrual periods. Thanks!
