Newbie here!! I NEED HELP!!!

[Missiceprincess]

OK...I have a LOT of questions...

I am on my second cycle of BO.

Started mid-cycle because I was so anxious!

30 yo
Nurturer
1 child - breast fed for 6 mo
34 A/B

I'm not sure about the protocol and I REALLY want to be successful!!

OK...I have some questions...

I'm taking BO and figured I would take 1800 mgs folicular and 2400 mgs luteal

I'm also taking 3 g EPO and 3 g of Fish Oil and have ramped up to 5gs of SP bc of hair and acne.

(Haven't noticed any difference yet)

I'm also doing the massage with steeped EPO, Olive Oil, and Fenugreek at night even though I've been kinda irregular with that over the last week or so.

I eat a lot of protein. So I haven't added shakes. I hate anything with milk and even adding the whey protein to water or yogurt makes me sick to my stomach. But I usually eat eggs or chicken daily.

So here are my questions. First, does that routine seem ok? I know most people use herbs, but I was hoping for some input.

Also a question on progesterone. I started using it during day 12-26 of my cycle. Most seem to agree
that it slows growth, but is good for older women who've have kids. Should I keep it? I was considering using it only every three months. I saw a decrease in PMS symtoms last cycle so I was pretty happy with that. And I have noticed some swelling and firming of both breasts. They were pretty saggy!

I don't think I've had any growth yet. Even though I did keep the swelling after AF. No tingles or itchiness... At what point should I start tweaking my routine?

What about adding an internal progesterone blocker like Oregano or Damiana. Is it too early to do that?

I also think I remember reading that EPO is a desensitizes estrogen receptors. Is that true? And if so, is it a good idea to continue taking it internally?

I'm also going to start taking Yasmin for bc and I read that it's good for BE bc of the spironolactone. I spoke to my gynecologist regarding the hirsutism. She said I should see results from the Yasmin after about six months...

Any thoughts? I know I have a lot of questions. Just hoping for some input!

You did a great job figuring things out.

Per your current progress, it seems that you should continue as you are. When you add Yasmin, make sure to decrease your BO amount then re-ramp accordingly. You don't want to over-saturate the receptors.

I would wait on adding PR-blockers until after starting Yasmin.

Keep us posted, and welcome to BEB!

Thank you so much!! I'm going to start Yasmin at the end of the month so hopefully I'll see some improvement!!
