Hi cupcake,
I prefer fenugreek. Scroll up a few posts to read how I time it. Wild yam may be better, but it's complicated to dose based on symptoms:

and it does other things on top of increasing progesterone.
Fennel is convenient for a little more progestin oomph when you need it, because you can make tea, which works fast on an empthy stomach. Vitex is another complicated one:

and you can expect less swelling:

Read Ginie's program thread before you try PC. She advises to read the site of dr. Lee's hormone imbalance test too.
Girls take a few years to grow milk ducts on estrogens, before the tide of estrogens and progesterone every month shapes their breasts. Think of pebbles by the sea. After ten years of NBE and six years since my first growth, I'm still lengthening my milk ducts, but then I was born as a boy. I'll only start fennel when my milk ducts push my nipples out into the I-M cup range. Then I expect to need another couple of years before I fit any normal bras again.
The trick in cycling progestins or progesterone with PM is to keep the dose just above the level you need to prevent estrogen dominance during the luteal phase. You still take as much PM as you can for growth, but if you get a headache, increase fenugreek a little instead of decreasing PM.
