I have to tell you what I just heard from a chinese old old doctor! This is hilarious but you have to bare with me

I go to their clinic to have a special massage, this is the only thing that helps my back. Anyways, he can diagnose from just feeling puls, looking at your tongue, eyeballs, hands, nails, all sort of weird stuff, you know I of course have to mention that he's never been wrong about anything (about my health condition). First time I saw him I just couldn't believe what I heard! A guy without any blood tests, ultrasound, and other fancy stuff "normal" doctors use, told me everything correctly! It took me few years to actually believe this is possible! I know, I'm not easily convinced!

Anyways, he was there today and we talked about.. breats! He says breasts and ovaries (in traditional chinese medicine) are one organ. They function under Pituitary-Hypothalamus "instruction". We can not "fix" ovaries by treating ovaries! That was my first shock. The second one was when I told him about developing breasts way after puberty he said it is possible but "why whould anyone want it? the normal size is B and not bigger! Anything bigger indicates abnormality in this or another way usually relating to Pituitary-Hypothalamus system!" To say that I was shocked is the least of it! So now big boobs are "abnormality"?? In spite of me almost laughing he was insisting - girls developing big breasts in puberty usually have what he called "disbalance" in this ovary-pituitary-hypothalamus thing! Which in later years will lead to either weight gain, blood pressure problem, infertility (!), and many other bad things! Well, I wanted to go on and mentioned to him that in my opinion 90% of women have big breasts nowdays. Does this mean something is wrong with them?

Also realized that I forgot to answer some questions.
Hi, Raw :-) You're taking BO together with pituitary, so, theoretically you don't have to add fennel or other prolactin-increasing hearbs, I think. Because you already stimulate your pituitary. But of course you never know in which way you "stimulate" it, right? :-) Also, increasing prolactin (if is normal already) is pretty risky. But yes, in my opinion increasing prolactin means faster results. Manipulating estrogen only is just not enough.

Hi A-2-C I agree with itsjustforfun, you need to make sure you really need this extra progesterone. I suggest either tests or doing BBT charting to find out yourself! I have never heard of progesterone dominant thing though, I don't think it exists because progesterone is a precursor for other hormones. Extra progesterone is converted to estrogen or testosterone. and THAT we know can lead to problems. Cysts is just one of them. But at the same time it is said that

"Using transdermal progesterone does *not* raise other hormone levels. Progesterone made by the ovary converts to other hormones, but progesterone from cream does not." http://www.natural-progesterone-advisory...m/candida/

I wonder how this could be true if they claim that progesterone from cream is bio-identical to the real progesterone! Confusing?

So be careful and try and find out what your body really needs. It may look like a mission-impossible but in the end it's all worth it!
