Thanks very much for your support Gilly! I really hope and wish this month I can finally solidly step on the 90cm mark that always slips through my fingers (or my nipples ha ha). Best boobie wishes for you too 
Sorry about the esophagus pain
I wish I were a herbalist so I could give you a good remedy for that. What about adding some milk or honey to it? Or taking it with some food?
And trying a different brand? Just wondering, perhaps you've read that Saw Palmetto can cause nausea, well with my usual brand (Doctor's Best) I've never had any problem but last month, when I wanted to experiment with 160mg capsules I bought Nature's Way instead, and guess what: I felt nauseous everytime I took it, so I had to order Dr's Best again...
My Spearmint tea is Alvitas, perhaps yours is stronger (a bigger amount of herb in the tea bag?) and that's why you get a real good anti-androgen effect plus the esophagus pain, while I get an OK effect and just a discomfort when swallowing pills (which can be a pain too lol). Don't give up on your spearmint, woman
