Yes, your birth control will dictate when your period comes and goes and the level of estrogen and progesterone in your body, but seed cycling will still help. You can still relish in all the positives of seed balancing such as cramp relief, improved breast tenderness, reduced bloating, insomnia, hormonal acne and mood swings. Seed cycling is also a great natural course to take while transitioning off birth control.
-
Yes, you can pick up seed cycling wherever you are in your cycle. If you know which day your last period was then you can start with the seeds that correspond with where you are in your cycle.
-
We recommend a minimum of 3 months to start seeing the effects of seed cycling. Though please note that it can take anywhere from 3-6 months to start seeing noticeable changes. Stick with it and check in with your body often.

Incorporating the seeds into your normal routine will help keep you on track without much thought, but we encourage you to mix up what you add the seeds to!

We found that ginger root helps initiate menstruation. During the Follicular Phase (Phase 1), Omega-3 fatty acids are also beneficial to reduce inflammation and support reproductive functions. Eating lots of high-quality fatty fish (wild!) or taking a high-quality fish oil supplement is encouraged. During Luteal Phase (Phase 2), we recommend supplementing MONA with evening primrose to promote GLA (gamma-linolenic acids) to boost progesterone and reduce inflammation.

We get it, life gets busy and the day sneaks away from us! Don’t worry if you miss a day of MONA. While we recommend keeping on schedule with your packs, if you find that you’ve accidentally skipped a day, just continue the next day with the next pack for your appropriate phase.

As with any new supplement during pregnancy, it is important to consult your doctor before taking anything while pregnant. Because seed cycling is rooted in your regular hormone cycle, we recommend not seed balancing during pregnancy as hormones may follow a different pattern.
