Femina, women metabolize drugs 20-30% quicker then men. The following human study found FG dramatically increases E2 levels in month 2. The amount used in the study was only 300 mg, suggest women need massive amounts is risky. Stick with FG for a few cycles then evaluate. I wouldn't add PM at this point, (if ever). Work on diet, exercise, massage and balancing hormones during break the next few months. Add lemons (sliced) w/ filtered water 6-8 cups per day, which also inhibit androgens.

Thank you for the knowledge and advice! I think I will continue to take fenugreek as I do now along with other non-herbal methods as is recommended, keeping it limited and at a safe intake. Ella Craig gave some very useful advice and suggestions about how it could be used. Surferjoe mentioned that 1-2tbsp was used in the 'most successful programmes', but judging on my age (I'm 18) and what I've read about overdose, isn't that too much? Also, how much would 300mg of fenugreek be in terms of tsp/tbsp? I don't take fenugreek in supplement form. Surely 1tsp is alright? I'm not sure about more seeds = more growth, sounds risky to me as your evidence suggests.

By the way, if it's not too much of a hassle, could you please refer me to a post about cycling? Or just - if you have the time - explain its significance and how to do it? I don't understand what it means and where to find information about it, but I've seen it mentioned a few times on BN already. I'm very bad at using this site, hehe.
