It seems like maca is working really nicely on me. I had a break of a couple of weeks because I ran out and it's quite pricey where I live... And actually it looked like I shrank a small bit. But now in my luteal I brought it back to my program and had instant swelling! I've read that it's actually best to take it during luteal and menstruation so from now on I'll start to take my monthly break on the days 7-14 or so. Before I intuitively took the break during my period.
Another thing maca seems to have helped me with is my mood. I was quite crampy and had bad mood swings after my hormonal inbalance but now after three months of maca it seems to have passed and I feel really balanced, energic and just myself again. Also I believe it has balanced my menstrual cycle but that I will be able to confirm in a couple of days if my period will start in time.
Another thing, I added some fennel oil to my massage oil. I've now been using olive oil for massage. I'm quite sure it's giving me some nice swelling too! Today for example, I massaged with fennel and olive oil and did some self affirmation at the same time, I measured almost 2cm more after that! Only massage! I'm really surprised.
Atm before massage I measure almost 86cm, witch is 3cm more than my starting point. I suck with measuring so I don't really trust it, but I can tell from the pictures that some swelling really is there. Now I'll just wait for my period to see if any of that will last.
I've also made a decission to really cautiously try a tiny bit of pm powder on days 5-12 to see what will happen. Then I'll also add some vitex to the luteal to balance it out. If my period will be delayed, I'll say goodbye to pm again.
