Hey Surferjoe! I might try adding just a little PC during my luteal this time while I wait for the vitex to start working since it takes a couple months. Have people grown using just vitex long-term? I haven't been able to find any studies showing how much vitex increases levels of progesterone, have you? It would be interesting to see the percentages.
One thing I'm still not clear about is if the goal of NBE is to balance hormones or to raise them higher than normal. If you simply get adequate levels and ratios of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, etc., will your boobs grow? Or do you need to have hormones elevated above normal (or the high end of normal) to prompt growth?
I'm working on solving this mystery of why both my progesterone and estrogen are low so I'll let you all know when I figure it out!
