Okay, not that I've been back on BE for long (try 2 weeks maybe) but like most, I'm impatient!! (i know i know, patience) Any suggestions for tweaking please? Currently on: 2g Fenugreek 1g EPO 1g Flax Seed Oil 1g Red Clover 1g Damiana 1.5g Wild Yam 1.5g Saw Palmetto (or maybe its 2 g? - i put them out in advance, now i cant remember! ) Massage + Heat Before I got back on BE, they were actually sore/tender, but once I started, its gone away (!!!) - didnt start on Day 1 btw, was too impatient...(oops?) They've gotten fuller, but thats it (thats what happened towards the later part of my BE journey previously) Doing the hormones test, the only one that really came up was Androgen Deficiency, 1 symptom for Estrogen Deficiency, but thats it. Help Anyone? (sorry, I always seem to be asking every few weeks) I actually want the soreness back (the things we wish for)! Thanks in advance

Stel, Seems like ur kinda balanced as far as progesterone and estrogen. So's, my tweek suggestion, based on the fact we want higher estrogen levels wrt progesterone, would be upping R/C to 3g's...dropping W/Y, period. R/C has pyto-estrogen AND PR-blockers...so, I'd work with the 2 for 1 dose. Spread doses out evenly thru day, largest dose in the evening, and take on empty tummy (everything but oils- fish, EPO). W/Y REALLY hasn't seemed to do much in the growing department for any but the progesterone deficient [/b]...since ur not testing for much of anything being 'outta whack'..ur just adding phyto-progesterone and decreasing those chances of getting that good ratio. That's my vote...keep us abreast

Just a thought...you are androgen deficient...you may want to cut back on the SP, maybe down to 1g or less. Let those androgens aromatize. You are not getting any pre-menstral swelling...so... up your red clover to 2.0g also;, blocks progesterone, increases phyto-estrogen. See how that works for tweaking. Keep us "abreast" of any "developments".

You might actual benefit from DHEA, but I wouldn't go to the expense unless nothing interesting happens in a month.
Also - you could add licorice.

Hi Stel, You want an progesterone blocker, a phyto-estrogen, and an androgen blocker (if possible). So I I guess the easiest to do is list my Boobie batter recipe 1 dropper GB enhancement blend fenugreek, w/y, and SP 2 droppers fenugreek 2 dropps R/C 5g EPO 3 droppers peppermint (kills the IHOP smell & great for circulation) the rest with body lotion So...take what you want with that! It there are other's listed in Routines. Bust of Luck Stel!

Stel,
I simply mix equal parts of a teaspoon in one bottle.
For you, I'd recommend buying extracts of R/C, hops,and fenugreek. The fenugreek is kind of strong, so as Momi mentions, get the McCormicks peppermint oil Extract at the grocery store.
Mix 1 teaspoon of each, 2 teaspoons of peppermint (or as much as needed).
Shake each time, drop 5-7 drops in palm..mix with a dallop of lotion or 5 drops EPO oil...rub on until absorbed.
