Hi Karen,
That's a lot of fenugreek. I take 2,500 mg, and I never have estrogen dominance symptoms. Even adjusted for body weight, 3,000 may be enough.
I started my program adding one herb at a time, and adjusting the dose on the basis of symptoms. You can also adjust doses from the point where you are now. Try to lower fenugreek until you lose swelling, or until you have bloated ankles. Then you know what your minimum effective dose is.
You can adjust hops in water to libido. Licorice is harder to tune, because it does too many things at the same time. It's also a duplication of functions that are already in the other herbs, so you have to add them up.
With hops in water adjusted to libido, and fenugreek adjusted to swelling and bloated ankles, you can increase hops in yogurt - within reason - until you have sensations. I normally didn't feel anything spontaneous from hops, only when I squeezed my areolas, there were some sharp shoots behind them, like stings. Because you add estrogens from testim, your sensations may be different, though.
