Dear Helen
I had breakthrough bleeding and general period complications and my
gynie put me on Promensis - it is a red clover extract product from New
Zealand. It sorted out my period problems wonderfully. Accidentally it
also seems to have sorted out my fertility problems as well - I am now 7
months pregnant. This was a total surprise and I now view this as my
miracle child. I was diagnosed with PCOS 17 years ago and had given up
on the idea of children.
Regards
