Sorry I haven't replied earlier, but we've been away for a long weekend for the school holidays, but thank you Ellacraig and SurferJoe.
Okay, I'm going to take Vitamin C & B6 for 6 months to try and raise my progesterone, and I'll also look at taking fenugreek, shatavari, goat's rue and wild yam (just 3 as suggested), starting at about 2g and build up to 25g.
SurferJoe - I'm a bit confused though - you say I can take fenugreek, shatavari, goat's rue and wild yam now at 2-25g, but you say not to take ND yet due to the phytoestrogens, but I thought fenugreek, shatavari, goat's rue and wild yam were in ND; along with a few redundant ingredients. So why can I take these now, but not ND? (apologies if I have misunderstood you).
Also, you mention red clover and ground flax seeds and suggest using them after raising my progesterone (having high progesterone as opposed to just balanced out). How would I get high progesterone? - would I keep taking the Vit C at the 750mg dose for a few more extra months? Also, I take it that it is okay to have high progesterone, especially for breast growth?
Thank you
