wanttobe's routine...suggestions please ^_^

[wanttob]

Right now i'm ramping up to Pammy's first routine. This is what i'm aiming for:

Fenugreek-500mg, 2 pills 3xdaily (to equal 3000mg daily)
Saw Palmetto-500mg, 2 pills 3xdaily (3000mg daily)
Wild Yam-500mg, 2 pills 3xdaily (3000mg daily)
EPO (Evening Primros Oil)-1000mg 3xdaily (3000mg daily)
Flax Seed Oil-1000mg 3xdaily (3000mg daily)

I'm currently taking (for two days now):

Fenugreek: 1 610mg x 3 (approx 1800mg daily)
WY: 1 500mg x 3 (1500mg daily)
EPO: 1 500mg x 3 (1500mg daily)

I've also been doing a bit of dry massage (I'm finding it hard to fit into my day though)

I felt itching a little little bit the first day. That's good right? The only problem is I'm not sure when/how much to ramp up to...

Also, are my underarms supposed to smell like maple syrup? haha I know fenugreek makes everything smell like maple but is it normal to have the smell there?

LOL....fenugreek makes EVERYTHING smell like that. And I mean EVERYTHING. Strange stuff, that fenugreek.

Add some fenugreek and oil (olive, borage, or EPO) to do that massage.

After the first day I took fenugreek i haven't had any growing pains at all. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong....

Should I get rid of everything else I'm taking and just start over with SP and Fenugreek and see how that works out first? Or should I ramp up? How long should I wait without growing pains to ramp up or change something in my routine? I'm kind of really lost with all of this.

Also, just for future reference, can you take WY with BO?

Thanks

Don't worry about feeling growing pains after the first day. Take it a month at a time, not a day at a time. You are are one of those who need long term consistency. Ramp it up. Stick with it. Keep good notes and records.

I would say to do herbs for no less than 3 months before changing to something like BO.
