Hi cupcake,
Doses are proportional to body weight. I weigh 176 lbs. If you weigh 120 lbs, 1,700 mg would be the equivalent of my 2,500 mg. So far, in adjusting my fenugreek dose between symptoms of estrogen dominance and weight gain, I have found that the same rules as for women apply to me too. So I don't think you need to adjust the dose for gender.
Fenugreek together with goat's rue works great for me. You can take goat's rue in the follicular phase too. You just stop for a few days before and during ovulation. Fenugreek is for luteal phase only, unless you overdo the PM on days 9-11. Then a little fenugreek may suppress the headache.
