Hey Gilly! I'm taking spearmint (follicular phase) and fennel (luteal phase) too.
I really hope spearmint has some effect on my acne *sigh*
Anyway... I've been investigating about fennel lately, and I've found some of Isabelle's posts about how too much fennel (or progestins in general) can stop growth.
Looks like 400mg (what Eve was taking) is the recommended dose:

I guess this doesn't apply to PM users? PM is the strongest phytoestrogen so perhaps the fennel dose should be higher?
Well, I just thought you may find this info interesting, or perhaps you already knew it
I'd like to hear your opinion too.
Ahhhh I'd love to take PM, if only my cycles were regular! grrr
My best wishes and good luck on your new program Gilly!
