So it's like day 10 of my cycle. My period came 2 days earlier than I expected (I usually have 29 day cycles and this time I had a 27 day cycle). The DIM and maybe the fenugreek really had messed things up for me. Last cycle I had 7 1/2 days bleeding. And then I had a super short cycle (VERY unusual for me) and after stopping the DIM my bleeding was 6 days, so it's improving, but I usually only have 3 or 4 days tops of bleeding. The herbs have been making me bloated, especially the fenugreek and fenel and causing bad acne and some mood swings. So, after measuring myself at day 7 of my cycle (i measured between 31.25 and 31.5) I decided to sop those herbs. I decided to only use the herbs that were actually working for me. Th ebloating is going away and my breasts are starting to feel tender again, and the acne is going away and my mood swings too.
My NBE program is much simpler now:
6-500 mg Saw Palmetto (I take 2 of this 3 times a day, so it comes to 6 capsules/day)
4 or 5-500 mg Red Clover (I'm only taking this because it was suggested on the NBE site I mentioned in an earlier post)
1-500 mg Vitex (only 1 time a day)
1-500 mg Ginkgo biloba (only 1 time a day)
