I bought Thanyaporn and asked a helpful Thai seller who takes it herself if I should cycle (she said she takes it every day and one a day, approx. 105mg extract).
*back story, I was taking fenugreek and fennel seeds twice a day until I noticed my period was going to start early, that was in July, so I stopped them completely but my period started anyway (19 day cycle that month) and then lasted longer than usual, it coincided with the Supermoon so I thought since I am quite affected by the lunar cycles that it had done a number on me!
Meanwhile my next period was very late, arriving around day 41. A week or so before the start of this cycle I started on Maca 10g raw powder with my porridge. Then I added in MSM and finally the PM on day one of this cycle. I intended not to cycle the PM, but I have had menstrual flow for 15 days now which has rather shocked me but again we are waiting for the third Supermoon in a row so I was half waiting it out and didn't want to discuss with a doctor. I just read elsewhere that this can signify low progesterone so I won't take the PM tomorrow and tonight I am going to see if I can get any of my PC out of the tube, it's almost empty. Should I start on FG in my luteal phase or is that too oestrogenic?
Hi Jet,
From what I have read, FG is an adaptogen so although it contains phytoestrogens, it is not as strong as PM...and I don't think it is "too estrogenic" you don't want your estrogen to suddenly drop anyway...you want to keep it balanced in a more stable way. I should have continued with FG immediately rather than taking a few days break after stopping my PM..I think that's why I spotted due to sudden drop in estrogen.
I also am using Thanyaporn. Because of my spotting and horrible PMS that I had with it during my last cycle, I decided to use it on Day7-14 for just one week, when my estrogen level is at its peak, and then use fg and fennel until my period come. I have also adding EPO to my regimen. Hopefully no drastic spotting this time round.
Have you seen any growth though? For me, nothing measurable, just that my breasts are slightly more than a handful, so that is good. Keep me posted, good luck.
