Anything you try using to fix the unblanced hormone system is trial and error. Even when the docs give you a prescription, it's always a lets see if this works type senario. anyway, since going the BC route was not an option for me, I really can't make a comment on how well it works or doesn't work. But I can say, it should be pretty easy for you to decide that for yourself. Did your symptoms from the estrogen dominance go away or change once you started on the yaz or did they stay the same, or god forbid worsen, ect. Other than the blood test, that's pretty much what any doctor would go by to give you an answer also.
As for divising a plan. Personally having been estrogen dominant, I didn't feel the herbal route was a safe option for me. I figured since getting my hormones balanced had been a nightmare, I didn't want to risk undoing the progress and know that the herbal route increases your estrogen load to work, so I went with the bovine ovary route and am thrilled I did. It finished balancing out what theprogesterone hadn't yet. I've felt great since starting it, but that's just my experience.
If you don't want to risk either route, you always have the nooglebery route, which won't touch your hormones at all and is also the cheapest route to go of all of them in the long run.
Good luck
