[EllaC]

Ps after you reminding me of dim in your thread I ordered some more Maca as hands down it DID bring my cycle back to balance which has to be healthier than early and spotting beforehand. 
I wouldn't be worried about it reducing estrogen. My ND who has a PHd and travels around our country lecturing is one clued up lady. And in agrreeance b cause I haven't had the estrogen metabolism test yet she was like "take the DIM!" . She wasn't too happy with the Maca as we've discussed but had no issues with me trialling for three months . However I'm confident I don't have high testosterone so Maca might not be for you. 

Supplementing our diets with DIM can shift the production of estrogen metabolites away from dangerous 16-hydroxy in favor of beneficial 2-hydroxy metabolites.  Taking DIM in an absorbable formulation encourages active and healthy estrogen metabolism.  DIM supports estrogen balance by increasing beneficial 2-hydroxy estrogens and reducing the unwanted 16-hydroxy variety.  This improves estrogen metabolism and helps resolve all three forms of estrogen dominance.

I think you had a dim thread didn't ya. I'm tired. Posted in wrong place. 

Haha don't worry <3 I also brought up DIM in this thread. It sounds like it's perfect for you, Ella. 
Am laying off the maca for a while. Some ladies say it actually lowered their testosterone but I also think it raises it. You have no issues with T so it's ok. A few ladies on the forum said to take something to block testosterone while taking maca (if you tend to have high T) but have yet to find the perfect supplement to lower testosterone/DHT!!

do you not want to treat your pcos though?
and you know blood tests are useless! ive been told this over and over. theres many studies too so my bloods put me in the normal range too and i am sooooo not normal! has to be saliva. so in essense your hormones might NOT be what you think they are..
its like "conventional ranges" for thyroid bloods too. Oprah did a whole show of women who had "normal" thyroid ranges due to coventional blood testing only to actually have had thyroid disease which blew out of proportion, some developed thryoid cancer, some had their thyroids removed too!
I think your hormonal picture might be very diff with the right testing and at the right time in your cycle. i only harp on and bring this up cause i dont want you to get hurt by herbals like i did

naturopaths etc have a vow of silence. id find a good reputed practioner and explain your whole picture. pcos/breasts/blood pressure issues and ask them to test you properly 

theres a lady who runs this awesome forum, she has the same gut condition i have and it wasnt until she addressed her "hormones" she started to get well. She too did multiple bloods! They all came back normal and she got sicker and sicker. So once she had  the proper saliva tests done her results were not normal at all, she got on to the right treatement and came well. This is why i want to save up and get the Dutch test
