Let's talk about someone NOT undergoing HRT ... as they increase doses of their herbs they get closer and closer to that "LINE" ... the line where the body "cuts back" on it's own production. OK ... so now you hit that line ... and your body says "WHOA" ... so now you stop (or cut back) producing "Pregnenolone" and all of the associated hormones. If you
were to increase your herbs, to compensate for your body cutting back, why can't you "get past" stalling? If you didn't increase your Herbs, then you would stall, but it seems that increasing them would almost put you into a HRT Program ... meaning supplying your own.
What do you think?

Hi Karen,
Funnily enough, I've been thinking along very similar lines recently, trying to get my head around the dichotomy of us apparently in constant danger of activating the feedback loop and stalling, and TS's on HRT who take massively more synthetic estrogens than we do phyto-estrogens and ASFAIK, just grow!!
I like Isabelle's answer subsequently, and I appreciate her concerns, but I think I'm going to have to give 'overdose' a try, for a while at least. I have to find some way of kicking past my impasse situation. I don't honestly know if I've stalled as such, but I do know I haven't grown any in almost 12 months. I still get aches and pains and itches, but it doesn't get anywhere. I also get a kind of burning/stretching sensation most mornings and I was feeling it earlier and thinking that it feels as though they want to grow but something is holding them back, like waiting for a balloon full of water to burst as you hold it on a tap. I'm sure I just have to find the trigger, maybe this it, I've tried pretty much everything else I can think of.
