Was it saliva hormone test Beattie? If your normal I wouldn't want to tip he balance ya know. But who's to say it's your testosterone is causing small breast. Personal the fainting spells the sensitivity to herbs I'd be treading carefully.

You know me I never wana suggest anyone take any herbs. So just mentioning for you to investigate further with a professional but they use saw palmetto to treat PCos plus many girls grew breasts on it. I wonder if that's cause it stops testosterone being dominant. 

But tonanswer my own question low circulation isn't great for what we are tryiNg to achieve. But it's what's underlying the circulation. For me I suspect ect thyroid. Time to buck up my ideas and get the thyroid tests. It's another thing that runs in the family .

No, all of them were blood tests. Yeah, I know I know.... Balance is key but when I took the BCP (for PCOS) my hormones were perrrfectly balanced and did I have bigger breasts? Nope. Not at all. I'm starting to think that a bit more estrogen (and progesterone) would promote growth. Thing is: how much is a "bit"? lol

Thank you for mentioning saw palmetto, that was on the top of my list! UNTIL I found out that it also lowers estrogen. It does lower testosterone/DHT but it also lowers estrogen. So frustrating!!! Apparently DIM could also do this. Too bad because otherwise I would have gone for DIM. I also just discovered inositol (basically vitamin B8) lowers testosterone but this too lowers estrogen!! I think it's something you might like, Ella. It balances/lowers estrogen. Many PCOS sufferers confirm that their testosterone went down but so did their estrogen levels, with inositol. I don't want to lower estrogen! Thing is I'm not an expert: maybe if one lowers testosterone, the estrogen will still be higher than T?? Who knows. I don't think so though. I think both levels will end up becoming low which doesn't sound ideal for NBE.
