This afternoon, the fourth bag of fenugreek since July 19th will be empty. I opened it on December 20th, so that's 250 g in 12+31+29+29=101 days, or 2,500 mg a day. That's more like the dose I want. I took twice that in 2011.
Eve M used 1,800 mg, and I assume she weighed about 120 lbs back then. I'm around 180 lbs, so I should be using one and a half times her dose. That's 2,400 mg.
I still don't have any estrogen dominance symptoms:
headaches: never
foggy thinking: rarely
low libido: every morning, I wake up to an explosive situation, which is kinda hard to defuse
bloated ankles: lean like chicken feet
feeling depressed: less than ever
so I must assume the fenugreek is still doing its job. I know some people on the forum don't believe it increases progesterone, but it's the only possible source of progesterone or progestins in my program. And I'm certainly not imbalanced, so...
