I don't see any reason why she shouldn't use extracts only. If you go that route, maybe you could try switching out the RC with hops after a few months, and then switching back when you hit another stall. In the past, people who used RC for months on end typically hit a brick wall after a while. Maybe alternating between the two will help you avoid that. My theory is that RC sometimes raises progesterone too much over time, unless you take breaks, but as always, I might be totally wrong.
Agreed. I've always switched between RC and Hops every two to three months. Kept things moving at a good pace for me.
Now that I know extracts exist, I've been only using extracts. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a FG extract, so I can't say as to how you should do dosing. But the extracts are a lot more potent, which also means a LOT less pills (I went from 6 SP a day to 2, and 4 RC a day to 2 also). She could just try it and take about half or a little under half of the regular amount and see what it does for her.
