Something I found to be helpful with minimizing side-effects is to spread out my pm intake throughout the entire day, instead of taking half in the morning and half at night. Something else I do is apply 1/4 teaspoon of progesterone cream to my lower back area.

I don't experience back pain from estro dominance, but that may be what's been causing my headaches and mirgaines lately (even though I'm using PC more than directed!) I might try stretching out my doses throughout the day! I just have trouble remembering to take my mid-day doses of anything, but maybe if I'm including my breast pills, I'll be more motivated to remember (usually the biggest problem for me is that I rarely eat, especially in the middle of the day. I eat lunch when I take my morning pills, and then usually don't eat again until a late dinner...)

I'll try it I guess and see how it goes. I think as far as you worrying about adapting to high doses of PM, dropping down for a while and then switching your doses up every few days would definitely help, as bryony suggested. I've worried this entire time about adapting too much to my NBE and having to increase the dose. That's actually one of the reasons I switched from my successful FG/RC to PM, just to prevent my body from becoming too accustomed, and to keep myself from plateauing (unfortunately, until I find a good PM dose, I HAVE plateaued...)
