Hi Rocketmelon,
I think what is called estrogen dominance is actually androgen dominance, and a lot of LH or FSH. Estrogens are usually high during this time, when androgens are higher than normal. Androgens are associated with mood problems.
A phyto-prolactin, phytoestrogen, and phytoprogestin all together are better during the luteal phase, and during menstruation, allowing a break for the cycle to continue normally.
Fennel and Fenugreek can be obtained cheaply from the spice section of a grocery store. The program would be more efficient with an aromatase like topical lavender or topical tea tree. These are primarily estrogen properties that are lacking in the program. Peony is an aromatase that was partially used, but I think it was the high amounts of androgens that were the problem. A lavender plant can be bought from a garden store. Hops is an efficient prolactin.
Saw Palmetto actually is anti-estrogen, so it might not be helpful.
Mood problems are also from different types of progestogens forming into mineralcoiterroids, and gluccoriods inefficiently. Some progestogens are associated with less mood symptoms and others are associated with higher mood symptoms. alpha-reductase (which forms a type of neural dihydroprogesterone) is associated with less mood symptoms. Vitamins, lminerals, low salt intake, and adaptogens should help with mood symptoms during late luteal.
Flaxseed can lower various androgen levels, but too much might be counterproductive to NBE. I think NBE can be done botanically, without animal extracts. A combination of paleo or vegetarian diets can be used. FYI, some MSMs may be made from crab shells.
You've made a lot of progress in your pictures.
