Thank you, gals, I try to research as much as I can and share with you!

I find BBT charting the most helpful if you want to find out what is wrong with your cycle, for example, if you have any dysfunction or deficiency, etc.

For example, if your chart looks like the first one then it means corpus luteum deficiency - your body is not producing enough progesterone.

If your chart looks like the second one - this is progesterone AND estrogen deficiency!

Added the third chart - high temperature in the first phase means estrogen deficiency.

I recommend anyone do basal body temperature (BBT) charting. At least you will have something to show your doctor. I so do hate our "medical industry" where nobody cares! For example, I had to work really hard to convince my doctor to take my tests.. I brought her tons of charts, books (yes!), written description of my symptoms, so on. Finally she agreed.. I turned out to to have a mild estrogen-progesterone deficiency. Surprise! I knew it before she knew it!

But since I started BO my symptoms were almost gone (no night sweats, PMS, cramps). I wonder what will happen now when I'm off it.

As for NBE I will investigate more around what that doctor says (above) about estrogen receptors! I definately think that this is the core of the problem! There's enough estogen floating around but stupid receptors don't "see" them! Or there're not enough of those guys (receptors) in the breast tissue! I do believe it is possible to either increase the quantity of receptors or to make them more sensitive to estrogen. This doctor believes it too
