Candy,
you wrote: Fennel as well as Fenugreek, consider them one herb. Don't exceed 2000mg daily of the 2 combined.
why is that? I read some routines go up to 3000 mg of either of these herbs or a combination of. Is it weight related? Or is there another reason? Just curious?

Hi Microberry  Since Stephie is starting with a smaller cup size (a or smaller) she should start at a lower dose. To much estrogen can stall her before she sees any growth action. Yes, however since the two herbs are so similar 2000mg or less combined is a good starting point for someone just starting a routine with an A cup or less. Small woman=smaller starting dose. It stands to reason that your chances for successful BE improve if you have an average BMI. beboard.proboards107.com/index.cgi?board=Routines&action=display&thread=1074738958 Check out the Theory post in Madredesiete's Routine. It will answer your questions thoroughly. Candy |

ahhh ok, thanks for the explanation =)
do you think I should drop a FG (3x /day), or a fennel (2x/day) to get down to 2000mg?
thank you!!!

Thank you Candy,
The link to Madredesiete's Routine was very informative. It sure does give a lot of explanation and theory which I am going to need to read a few times. Thank you.

I've gotten no growth, and no signs of growth (tingling, soreness, sensations), but i'm DETERMINED to stay hopeful.
Here's to hoping for more growth in the coming 5 weeks!

i just read a few posts, and I'm realizing that I'm starting pretty small--both cup size as well as body weight. Would it be a good idea to drop all the herbs down to 500mg / day, and see what happens? Or is it unlikely that I'll stall if I'm under 2000mg/day of fennel+FG? Any advice, or maybe someone could dowse for me? (is that possible if i cant dowse for myself?) Thanks |

took some time off BE while on vacation, but I'm back on it now.
Routine is now just:
FG, WY, fennel 3x/day
GABA and borage oil at night (bc I have them, might as well not waste them!)
dropped flax and SP at wen's suggestion.
will pick up vitamin C and D at wen's suggestion whenever I swing by the drug store next.
thanks wen!!!!

so I am only taking WY, SP, and fennel, and dropped all massaging, and I think I feel a tiny bit of soreness! I'm going to continue doing this, I hope I get some growing soon!

Don't forget your vitamins. If you start feeling tired all the time, drop the SP. G'luck! Wen' |

ok, I dropped of the face of the earth when I got busy, and discouraged from BE. But now I'm back!! Here is my new routine!: AM 575mg FG 425mg WY 430 RC PM 575mg FG 480mg fennel 425mg WY 430mg RC 575mg SP (only at night bc of headaches) 500mg GABA 1300mg borage oil Centrum vitamin C/D. no massages. How does this look (Wen? )? I think i'm fairly easily discouraged. Everyone around me keeps telling me that it won't work, but I'm trying to not believe them. *plugs ears* |
