So, based on that last post, these are some things I am doing now to increase my progesterone levels. I am on day 24 of my cycle right now so I should be starting my period soon.

- Once I start my period, I want to add ground whole flaxseed to my diet. I'll start with 2 tbsp a day in my oatmeal or yogurt or just on anything and then see how I feel and possibly add more. Flaxseed has a lot of fiber in it and I already get a good amount from my diet alone.
The reason for the flaxseed is because it is a SERM (selective estrogen regulating modulator) which means it can down regulate estrogenic activity by blocking estrogen receptors in some parts of the body and up-regulate estrogenic activity in other areas. I'm hoping this will help regulate my estrogen.
Might take from day 1- 12.

- I will continue taking vitex through my period since it seems to work better taken from day 1 of your cycle. 450mg/day.

- I upped my vit c to 1000mg a day(divided doses).

- Add more vit e rich foods and keep taking vit e pill (400iu nature made). Also, continue using my vit e and aloe lotion. I put it all over my entire body and use it to moisturize my breasts after massaging.

- Add more vit b6 This is a big one for me. I think I haven't been getting enough vitamins and minerals because of my stomach issues. The easiest way for me to get b6 is through cereal. The one I am eating now has 25% of your dv of b6 in 3/4 cup but I usually eat 1 1/2 cups of cereal. Also, I take a multivitamin with 100% dv of vit b6 too.

- continue taking l-arg

So basically just keep doing what I'm doing but in greater quantities

Also, I am changing my massage time from 20 min to 15 min. it's hard for me to get 20 min in since I've been busier lately and I think mentally, I can say okay 15 min isn't that long I can do it! lol
