AA, I'm taking spearmint because I'm convinced I have high levels of testosterone. I get acne, have chin and jaw stubble, and my third finger is longer than my index finger when I look at the back of my hand. I also have veiny hands, have since I was quite young, in fact, and I'm slightly prone to musculature. I'm basically part man. That's why I'm taking it. I take it throughout my cycle, like Ceci does.

The finger thing is in-utero androgen levels I have that too. How's the spearmint going btw? how long you been taking it?

Right, but I thought that was something you carried with you for the rest of your life...? At least that's the impression I got (in fact, there was a whole thread about it, if I'm not mistaken, on the predecessor to this forum).

I started taking it last week, so I'm not sure about it yet. I think it might be inducing my period to start earlier, because I think I have luteal swelling and tender breasts right now. I usually don't go into luteal so soon in my cycle. It's an improvement, as my cycles are sometimes unhealthily long!

I could be wrong but i think not, if it were enough to affect the endocrine system then you'd be born a boy, i think. i left my spearmint at uni and i'm so sad! i think i need to have my 4-monthly break from the pill and without it i'm gonna be a hormonal wreck haha

It certainly feels like I was born a boy some days! My only saving graces are I'm small and my face is girly.

So you never got a chance to start the spearmint?

No I've been taking it since November I think? I've just decided I'm only going to take it in my breaks off the pill, though, to combat the androgen symptoms i get then.

I'm pretty girly too, but I'm defo a left-brainer :L there was this 'bbc sex id' online test thing we did for psychology in A-Level and me and my housemates did it...I got 'average male' as did all the girls, and the boys were all women except the one camp one who got 'androgynous' haha
