Ok I will copy and paste what I wrote in my program thread two days ago:
3 weeks update since taking Maca. What did I experience so far:
Pros
- More energy
- I was able to lower my thyroid meds
- VERY NICE AND CLEAR SKIN !!!
Cons
- During the first few days I couldn't sleep because of too much energy
- I experience a bit more hair shedding since 2 weeks, but not sure if its because of Maca or because of my thyroid
During my ovulation which must have been on day 15 or 16 (and normally is on day 19 or 20) I felt constant pains in my ovaries which lasted a couple of days and not just one day.
Also now in luteal phase I sometimes feel my ovaries and I believe its a sign of them releasing hormones, which is great in my opinion since I was low in almost all hormones.
Measurements on cycle day 27 (I love luteal phase): I measured 85cm (33.5'') while exhaling and 87cm (34.25'') while inhaling today
Dosage: I started taking 500mg and increased my dose every two days. Currently I am taking 3000mg of gelatinized Maca and will stay with that dosage for a while.
I will make a new update on cycle day 8, like the last time before I started taking Maca. Then I will know if my boobies grew with the help of Maca.
I really, really, really hope that my next period will be light and without cramps. That would be the most important to me.
PS: I workout 4-5 times per week but only doing 100 squats (without weights). I have problems with my left knee and it hurts when I use weights. My measurements are in my signature.
