I know I am low progesterone and dominant estrogen. I was tested by a doctor for a hormal medical condition. I'm nervous to take Greenbush's products since they have estrogenic herbs in them. Anyone else with a similar problem feeling good and getting results on something else? I was thinking of just Wild Yam and Saw Palmetto.
How do you guys know what your hormonal profile is? Some of you say low progesterone and estrogen, some just one or another. I was curious. I haven't had my hormones checked in about 12 years. I live in Florida now where doctors have trouble just treating a cold....

Hi Somegirl! [glow=purple,2,300]Welcome to the board! ;D[/glow] We know about what our hormonal profile is by the web sites listed in "Links". They are not exactly scientific, they are helpful in figuring out if one stalls or isn't growing what changes to make to a routine.  www.johnleemd.net/forms/hb_test.html and/or www.stenlake.com.au/testwomen.aspActually if you are progesterone deficient, and estrogen dominant, this board is finding that these are desirable hormonal conditions. ;D Do a search on progesterone and estrogen dominance. Lots of information! Actually this board's biggest successes have used Greenbush products. I personally used HBA products grew and lifted over 3", then started Greenbush Ehancement Caps with another 2" lifting and growth. I went from a small saggy  "b" to a "d" ;D If you are concerned about your bodies reaction to herbs, you can try a "commercial" blend, make sure it has fenugreek, fennel, Wild Yam, and SP. The rest is just glitz. Wild Yam supposedly promotes progesterone, however, this has only been done in a lab, cannot be proven to work in the human body. SP is for blocking androgens, growth from just SP has NOT been reported on this board, however, I have seen it as a warning on medical sites. How much growth?  ? Who knows!  So I hope that helps your questions a bit...Ask away! Bust of Luck to you and |

I started on BE to balance hormones. I have a lot of medical problems that go well beyond PMS. I feel safe taking Wild Yam as I know I am progesterone deficient. I also have a high androgen count so Saw Palmetto is great. I figure if my boobs don't grow I am healthier, which is most important.
Greenbush has fenugreek which is an estrogenic herb. I figured my body would regulate what it needs. However, I noticed feeling like my estrogen levels were too high, the fatigue, insomnia, mood swings, etc! I later read a site stating people who are estrogen dominant should avoid it. I guess it partly depends on how estrogen dominant you are. That can be mild PMS or more complicated issues. I'm trying to get my money back for Greenbush.
By the way I really like this board. People seem to be a little more educated giving their bodies the right things.

Hi Somegirl, If it's your progesterone defiency then you would be much better off with progesterone USP in cream. You need to make sure the Progesterone cream has progesterone usp, you can start at 20mg 1/4 tea 2x daily, once in morning , once before bed. Wild Yam really isn't proven to increase progesterone production. Another option would be to start Pregnenolone Caps, 25mgs daily at night before bed. Lots of threads and info on this site about pregnenolone. It is the Mother hormone that progesterone, estrogen, androgens, etc are created. ;D So if I am understanding you breast growth is not your main objective, but if it happens GREAT!  Best of Luck! |
