Massage raises prolactin, and short intense exercise is supposed to raise IGF-1
Chasteberry is supposed to raise progesterone (lacking source), but lower excessive prolactin.
Here are estrogenic herbs... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3693613/table/tbl2680/?report=objectonly
Red reishi reduces DHT
White peony increases estrogen while lowering androgens.
Pueraria M. I heard on threads is both estrogenic and progestogenic.
Paeonia has been shown to positively influence low progesterone, reduce elevated androgens (testosterone) and acts to modulate estrogen and prolactin. In vitro, the active constituent paeoniflorin has been shown to affect the ovarian follicle by its action on the aromatase enzyme. Aromatase is important for follicle maturation, ovulation and corpus luteum function, steroid hormone synthesis and the regulation of the conversion of androgens to estrogens. The biofeedback in the pituitary and hypothalamus rely on aromatase to regulate prolactin and GnRH. The daily dose for Paeonia is 4.5 to 9 mL of a 1:2 dried plant extract.
