Estrone is the predominant estrogen in postmenopausal women:

In pregnant women, it's estriol, and in others, estradiol. So this still doesn't explain why Susan felt like she was pregnant
Hi Isabelle,
Been back since Monday but not into writing much..but been reading alot.. maybe the reason I felt prego at that time could have been from the maca maybe.. that was the only thing I took dif.. and havent been on it for over a week now and when I reduced it but mainly stopped taking it notice my symptoms were better and just about gone when I been off them for just a good couple days..even if I took 1 which I did over a week ago it made me just feel crappy..go figure Isabelle SP is doing good for me maybe my body is different now, more adjusted..I have been reading more on SP and finding out how good it is for the titas and overall health..haha speaking of it ..gots to take one now..hehe
..hehe back, just got another thought, I think I was taking a small amount of FG too at the time of feeling prego but not sure but I know I was taking at least 4 maca at that time, anyway when I was taking it whether it was then too but when I was taking it later at the end of the first cycle and most of the second I wasnt liking it.. I just didnt like the way it made me feel..plus my pee stunk it was grossing me out..since not taking FG and Maca I feel better, look better, smell better (I thinks so
), overall I feel great..so dont know what to say about FG mainly as for maca it just gives me chin hair and some acne but mostly the chin hair next day, once I take a SP it is better, I will add I have been eating more sweet and simple carbs and not much chin hair and acne but almost immediately the next day I get it with maca..PM helps tremendously sp? so I think the combo of PM and SP is doing great..wow sorry so long..I just thought of something you wrote about menopause..well I am 47 and most likely in peri..so that is probably why PM works great for me.
