Hi Im_a_girl,
A few months back I was taking maca but I believe I took too much at once and it messed up my hormones so I stopped (but in the being of using it I felt great)I slept great, ton of energy, felt good waking up even with not much sleep, so I am thinking not to take too much phytos the 2nd cycle and see what happens..possibly just take maca and SP but going to stop SP and take it every other day and see how that goes at this moment, then I was taking FG even at some point with maca too, then stopped FG also, I was taking these with PM..then I stopped PM for a few days before my period and then started it back up the 2nd day of my period then add maca but started out with a 1/2 dose, now taking 1 pill a day but now I am up to 3 PM (which was for 3 -4 days) but going to reduce, was suppose to reduce to 1 through the 2nd cycle but thinking of upping maca cause maca is suppose to balance all the hormones, I was taking 1 SP with maca but today I am going to not take SP (well so far today I am not going to see how I feel), today I am going to reduce my PM down to 2 and if today I start getting a headache (which so far so go) I will take another maca and see how that goes, I already took 1 maca, I worked out yesterday and my headache was ok until later on after taking the PM, the headache wasnt bad before the PM or after and it was more in the front of the head (a dif kind this time) not sure if it is just being on the computer too much.. but the headaches I was getting on the left side most always is durning my period and usually lately after the first day of period, meaning the first day is wick cramps but no headache and the next few days or so headache, I took 2 ibpro's both days and if helped, will the first headache day not so much but the 2nd day it worked better.. anywho.. I think it is estrogen dom. and low progest... when I had a hypothyroid problem I got similar symptons so I may start taking a supp. to support the thyroid (but maca is suppose to do that too) so I will wait and see how it goes with the maca.
Are you taking any phytos.. let me know how it is going with the progest. cream.. I am hoping maca is what I need more of.. but my gut is my progest extremely low during this cycle, cause just before my period I feel great but not lately though.. I did feel really good on maca I think I dont need that much either.. before NBE my periods were fine..I am thinking of not taking too much herbs anymore... keep the doses low and see how that works..Thank you for asking..
