Gosh you looked big during breastfeeding!
I don't like advocating herbs but since your already taking them, I think the saw palmetto most def be contributing to cellulite. And it's a really high dosage you are taking, 320mg was the most ever dared to take.
As for fenu I really don't think it would cause you to lactate, i think it would kinda help as you clearly had great luck b feeding.
The massaging etc is good. I too struggle to gain weight big time but a good protein powder always has me up one kg while I'm on it.
I think you'll do well. Leave the pm if it makes you feel sick. It's pretty common around here.

Thanks ella!
Yes, they where big but the were so uncomfortably hard and most of the mass was round and at the top. They never really grew outward. Least in my mind.

Yes agreed with you, herbs are powerful and should be approached with caution. For me I believe something in my body is out of balance, which is why i choose to take herbs. I have an appointment scheduled and I want to see about testing. In the meantime, I air on caution and really listen to my body.

Oh no! I wasn’t hoping it wasn’t the SP because when I first started my journey in this I was only taking SP. I felt so well on it that I would take just for the balance it made me feel. This makes me very sad! I work so hard to reduce what little i had (messaging, diet, and exercise). What can I do? I don’t really want to stop taking SP but i also don’t want cellulite.

Ella did you breastfeed? my first or second week of FG dosing gave me the strong sensation of “let down” I wasn’t sure if that was good or bad. Could that have meant I was waking up the ducts for lactation or growth? When I massage I sometimes find wetness. I’m not sure if my body is always producing just a little bit of fluid in the breast glands or if it has something to do with the herbs. I should mention though, before I ever started taking herbs and roughly 2 years after I stopped nursing I notice I could force out tiny bits of fluid. Leads me to wonder if I never fully “dried up”, if i ever will, or if herb taking will prolong that. I started nursing late 2011 stopped early 2013 still finding fluid to this day. I am riddled - Anyone having similar situations?

Yes massage has been nice to me.

I have been terribly under weight since nursing. I eat healthy foods. I try taking protein shakes but I never finish them, and at some point I have to force myself to take sips of it when I am thirsty but I just don’t want it. Do you have that problem? Any ideas on how to get my intake or about 2000 healthy calories a day to gain? I keep falling off.

Thanks ella, yes I don’t think PM is for me.
