Good morning Karen,
SP is an anti-estrogen, yes.
Focusing on anti-androgens will work for you, but not for someone who doesn't use testosterone replacement therapy.
According to the USDA, the amount of isoflavones in fenugreek is negligible, and I don't know of any other classes of phyto-estrogens that could be in fenugreek. But it's not a phyto-progestin either. It just increases prolactin, and that would cause the increase in progesterone. I don't know how.
Fenugreek won't hurt. I used to take 10 g on the day of the party. As long as you time it correctly with your carbs intake, it's one of these herbs that can never go wrong. I'm actually thinking of doubling mine after next week.
