Hi Susan,
Hope you find really fast where the pregnancy feelings come from Do you also have that look in your eyes?
You don't need swelling for growth. A PM-only program is a good example.
I haven't given the three different estrogens much thought. But I think you are right again. Estradiol is the most potent and the most abundant, so people focus on that.
But in NBE, we know one example where estrone is important: wild yam. Wild yam increases estrone. But the biochemical reaction scheme shows estradiol can be made from estrone:

So the effect of wild yam does not really prove estrone is important by itself.
The arrows in the graph reaction scheme show that estriol cannot react back to estradiol. I can't find the full text of this publication,
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/art...2299000109
but it discusses its reference 16 with the comment "In a trial with 12-week treatment period with estriol pessaries, two women out of 53 reported breast enlargement or pain [16]".
If two women out of 53 would report results on this forum after 12 weeks, we would be interested in their program. So estriol does something in NBE.
The reaction scheme does not leave much room for widely different natural ratios between the three estrogens. But wild yam can increase estrone. I will read more on other herbs that target the individual estrogens.
My own program is running quietly again. Tingles and no headaches. No experiments for a while
