Well, Aunt Flo came knocking on my door, and I had no choice but to let her in. According to this link I included in my first post, my estrogen and progesterone levels are at rock bottom. However, estrogen is slowly climbing within these first few hours.
I wish that PM cream was here, I'd escape to the bathroom for a moment. I was going to mimic my body's natural rise and fall of hormones with herbs for this first month. Luckily I have some fenugreek with me, so I can mimic the estrogen until I can check the mail in the morning. I took another red clover pill in the meantime and did another wild yam massage. I'm at work so I couldn't take a full 15 minutes like I usually do. I just rubbed it in until it was absorbed. I hope this will do for now.
I don't know exactly what my levels are as I've never took a blood or saliva test. Just Dr Lee's hormone test. However, I'm sure if I took an actual medical test, I know my progesterone would be far lower than average. One of the more serious symptoms is depression. Last year I was diagnosed with 'severe clinical depression' even though if you knew me personally, even you'd say that's impossible considering my outlook on life. Maybe I wasn't always this way..
Anyways, getting off track. I found this site earlier today:
Foods with Breast Enhancing Properties
The first item in list for progesterone rich foods, beef, shocked me. I'm a carnivore! I absolutely love cow. I prefer my steak rare. If it can still moo, no need to cook it any longer! (Completely joking of course, I know better than to eat an animal that's still alive.) I'm stumped. Same with milk. I can easily drink a gallon a day if I knew I wasn't making anyone else upset about it. However, in recent years, my intake of both has declined.
I'll take your advice AbiDrew and order some progesterone cream. (My favorite part about online shopping is everything is in my area!
) I'll also grab those PM pills while I'm at it. So my regimen will be all PM (except during menstruation) and PC. I'll get myself a good multivitamin as well. In your experience, do you think there's anything else I should include? And when I go shopping for the multivitamin, are there any vitamins I should avoid? And one last thing; is L-Tyrosine still a suitable addition?
