From what i read DIM gets excess estrogen out of your system. it also seems that PM loads you up with phytoestrogens which the body reacts to just in a similar way to the estrogen it creates itself.
Excessive estrogen has some bad side effects and can cause long term damage to your body. I guess alot of us who take the NBE journey are really putting our health at risk in this way. As you might know, excess estrogen can have a very strong impact on your mood too, especially with feeling depressed and even anxious.
So my thought was, maybe getting the excess estrogen from your body with DIM would mean PM didnt work, because perhaps PM works by filling you up with too much estrogen making your breasts react to that. But then of course, you and i both know how absolutely horrendous hormonally triggered depression is!
If PM could still work while taking DIM that would be great. maybe that would mean it could be taken more safely. I am curious to know if it were possible.
I guess someone just needs to be trialling it (but it wont be me! sorry...)
