This is what's scary about messing with these kinds of hormones. As tempted as I was for HRT purposes, I just can't bring myself to do it. When was the last time you took your hormone panel?

I would say androgen/liver/ higher estrogen possibly. Wow in one cycle?? That's fast! Did the Doc say these symptoms will clear after a while?

I took my hormone panel last Monday and I'm going to see my doctor sometime in the next two weeks and see if I can get a copy of the results. The doctor did say it would help acne and it would take 3 months for everything to get regulated. I guess it's just an adjustment period. I bet it's just water weight because I'm really bloated and gassy.

hi anon. so you told your doctor what you were taking? what did he/she say about the herbs?
in my country you tell a doctor you are thinking or even PREFER a more natural approach and you get laughed out of the office. I had one doctor like that and she referred to me as "you people" who take herbs... needless to say I refused to ever see her again.

tell you what I like about fenugreek, it helped with my digestion big time. and for me that's a major, im incorporating more fenugreek into my routine having noticed since changing programmes my digestion has slowed down again. I found fenugreek sprouts (arrgghh) and haven't used them much but I do have fenugreek seed as a condiment topping (if you will) so hoping that will suffice.

again, still marvellous progress for you
