Ella, I have the same thoughts as you re herbs. I am afraid to take herbs that are very estrogenic like PM. I took red clover almost 10 years ago, not for NBE but for acne. And it helped really good. Within 14 days I had completely clear skin. But then I missed my period and I freaked out and thought I was pregnant (was not). It was due to red clover. And I stopped taking it then... I am afraid of the side effects of PM too. I read that women with developing cyst at the ovary, breast, and uterus should not take PM. I have a cyst in my right breast and in my uterus. So no, I won't take it.

Oh Peggy that's no good. Whats scary is some women can have cysts too and not even know it, then by doing this it add fuel to the fire so to speak. Given soo many of my friends have cysts I guess which is why I'm cautious.

Im sorry Lotus I couldn't remember how in depth we discussed my programme that time a while back and I did think compared to what some girls are taking that my programme was pretty low in comparison. I do take need of everything you say though. By rights I'm taking no more than 700mgs total of the mix of herbs I mentioned but I DONT know how much fenugreek I would get per teaspoon of soaked seeds which needs to get added to that. I will google
