Thanks so much buffy for the info!! Best of luck to you too! I was tninking of adding dmso for the massage. The problem is i don't really know where to find it (i leave in the uk). I haven't seen it in any health food store. I can get it from ebay though, the uk seller i've found says it's for horses, and the purity is 99.8%. Is that acceptable? Should i be carefull of certain brands? I was also thinking of doing a colon cleanse in a month or so. According to wenonae it helps with the stomach fat along with the general well being of the body. I found a product called oxypowder. Supposedly it works better than others. Any comments?

DMSO- if you look at the bottle, you'll notice that the stuff they use for horses is the same, and if you buy it at the right place, it costs less than 1/2 as much. ~ horse girl

Buffy- He, he..neat little fact about DMSO being sold for horses. Tara- Oxypowder, I don't know about in specific- but you notice most products for sale say "they are the best"...of course . Anyways, it wouldn't hurt to try it, but if it doesn't work..just do the raw veggies and fruits. A good guideline is in Phylis Balch's "A Prescription for Natural Healing" Wen'

I read that DMSO was found to be more effective in 70%-90% concentration. "From 70 percent to 90 percent has been found to be the most effective strength across the skin, and, oddly, performance drops with concentrations higher than 90 percent. Lower concentrations are sufficient to cross other membranes." Here's the link: www.dmso.org/articles/information/muir.htm

Someone will have to back me up on this, but I think that the "impure" portion in the DMSO bottle you might buy is not water, it's other things that you really don't want- such as acetone. So you would want to purchase the most pure DMSO you can find and dilute it with water (probably distilled water). You can check froogle.google.com/ to compare prices, it's a handy tool. I just saw a few sites that had 16 oz for $5. Of course, if you typically order other things from a place such as ihealth, you might as well add their DMSO to your order to save on shipping. Unless you want some more horse stuff

Lol!!! No, i think that's as far as i go with the horse stuff... Thanks for the info buffy Oh and thanks Wenonae! I found the info on that stuff on another site. It referred to other brands as well but rated oxypowder among the top 2. I guess it could be non-objective...

So i measured today and i've gained 1 inch!!! ;D It's not very noticable (although my mom did actually notice a difference without knowing that i'm on be ) but it's great cause it means it's working!!!! Very exciting! However, it's been 3-4 days that i haven't felt the tingling/itching/mild pain sensations. Maybe it's time to increase my doses a bit? Also i did start using DMSO but OMG it stinks!! I suppose there's no way of neutralizing this lovely scent?

Can the 1 inch be attributed to Luteal swelling?
If not, then it's probably real growth. When you get more receptors you need more estrogenic herb - like fenugreek. You might go ahead and try adding more of that.
Keep up the massage!!

Thnks Buffy!! Yay!
Will definately do so Wahaika, it makes such a difference! It's not luteal swelling, that's what i thought in the beginning too (although i never used to get it). But i waited a week before posting this just to make sure. I've increased fenugreek and wild yam a bit (up to 20 drops now) and i had some mild pains again so i'm gonna stick with this dosage for a while...Fingers crossed

So, update: I stalled and took an approximately 3 week break... I am now almost ready to start again. Wahaika's posts in Madredesiete's routine was what i had used as a basis for my routine in the first place, so now i read it again and decided to add fennel in my new routine as well as flax seed oil. Will initially use EPO instead of borage oil (just because i have some EPO) and then will switch to borage oil again. Again, I will be using tinctures for all the herbs. I have started with 20 drops of Fenugreek and 20 drops of Wild Yam morning and night and massage with wild yam cream. Will get the rest (SP, Fennel) ASAP and will add small doses. I was thinking of keeping the dosages low and ramping up on the frist day of my cycle. Any thoughts and comments welcome and appreciated.

Good idea!! Start with low dosages and work up to what works.

Thanks for the reply Wahaika I have now added SP (20 drops morning, 20 night as the other two). Do you think it would be beter if i took 15 drops(or even less?) of each herb morning, afternoon and night instead of 20 twice a day? I plan on adding fennel too as i menitoned before the begining of my cycle (and the ramp up).
