Hi all, I've been browsing the forum for the past two weeks, learning so much, thank you all for sharing your experience and knowledge!
I'm figuring out where I intend to start, and I want to ask whether anyone on PM has used DIM as well, and if so, did it hinder your growth?
A bit of info about where I'm coming from:
The hormone test questions don't suggest that I am particularly deficient in either estrogen or progesterone - the only issue the results suggested was possible cortisol deficiency.
However since puberty I've had horrible periods with insane cramps, vomiting, and so on... It got a bit better in my early 30s but still more painful than my friends, and now I've started to get spotting about 5 days before my period.
I've been told the spotting and the huge cramps could both be caused by progesterone deficiency.
I want to try PM (topical) for breast growth, but I want to use that for days 3-13 say, then from day 15 start using progesterone gel to balance that side.
I'm also considering adding goats rue later.
Having just read up on DIM I was struck by the suggestion it can help your body use the positive effects of estrogen, while limiting the negative effects.
Can anyone comment? Many thanks, and Hi!
