How was your body before ever getting involved in NBE? I just know that increased estrogen is how cancer thrives. Fennel is for estrogen, right? I think it's incredibly risky taking ANY herbs without an actual doctor being involved. When I took fennel many years ago I increased my estrogen so much that my hair started falling out and I got two estrogen marks on my face that are still there (look it up). When I took maca my period started 2 weeks early! Freaked me out. I've been herb free for years now and still growing!

Jen you are right! And yeh i was perfectly healthy before NBE with normal periods.
The only reason i take fennel is because of this gut disorder and fennel reduces gas and bloating. But with that said i didnt realise you took fennel initally too. I thought it was the PM and other herbs that hurt you. Hm yeh brings up the thought il question fennel when i see my naturopath yet. I had a couple of bloods done Jen that had my estrogen in the normal range but in a slightly higher ration to progesterone, but they were blood and therefore considered not as accurate.

Interesting so Maca messed you up too... Yeh i have my back up abit about maca. Im sure theres some interaction with ovarian cysts but when i tried to backtrack and find the research i couldnt.

I can't believe I forgot to write about it here but I just DID have a horrible hormonal-related issue. I got a non-cancerous tumor on my cervix!! This is something that is extremely rare in women under 40. When I looked up why someone my age may have gotten it, it said hormone-related. So there you have it. All my tampering with different herbs several years back most likely contributed to me having a polyp, bleeding every day and finally having it removed.
