I've been doing NBE for 1.5 months using only Fenugreek and Fennel with no side effects. I added in Wild Yam (575mg) 1x day and took it for 5 days but then stopped bc I was getting less tingles. Around that same time I started getting shooting pains and heaviness in my legs. Now I have a terrible pain in my legs and hands and I've developed several veins all over my legs and bulging veins on my feet!
Could the Wild Yam be the cause of the veins?! I think I was leaning towards estrogen dominance when i did the online test, so I thought the Wild Yam would help balance things. I've been eating A LOTof eggs tho...maybe too many. I don't know if that would make my veins that way. I have a history of high cholesterol and bad circulation as it was. Also, I'm going to start on birth control for the first time and now I'm really scared it's going to mess with my hormones more and give me more veins!
