Surferjoe, I think I am going to use olive oil instead for massage. I thought the progesterone cream would work wonders but I didn't consider that it could throw off my hormones. I have a feeling the reason I got so sick w/ fenugreek before is because I didn't eat enough during the day for the amount I was taking. The extract is definitely something to consider! I didn't know that fenugreek could increase androgen. I'm glad you told me that. I read somewhere that garlic is an anti-androgen, so that is why I bought that. In any case I am still going to get saw palmetto. Thank you for your feedback, it is extremely helpful!

I take SP off and on. If it is intact an anti estrogen then I figure it's gotta be a good thing in this e Dom world of artificial xenoestrogens!
But yes I was told on BN if I felt dizzy taking fenu and goats rue to eat something sweet and il be right. BIG mistake.. Split chin stitches and a months rehab from bruised ribs was the end result so I pretty much stopped herbs after that. Granted I took two herbs known to tutu with blood sugar so more fool me. But just a testament to go with your gut when it comes to herbs (I knew deep down I was playing with fire) .
Not everyone can tolerate herbs like the next person.
And yes surfers right. I'd only use pc cream if labs dictated you need it, I took PC cream and had undesirable side effects much like fg so I suspect you may too. Vitex low dose on the other hand seemed a lot more tolerable and favourable to boobs if low dose ie 100mg or the likes.

Oh wow that's really serious. Good thing you are ok! I'm trying to start slow with these herbs so maybe I can avoid any complications but we'll see. I got prescribed trinesaa birth control pills today, do you know if saw palmetto or maca root will be a bad combo w/ bcp? I read fenugreek is ok. Thanks again for all your feedback :]

I'd keep away from birth control full stop unless you were taking it for short periods at a time. Thing is the dr won't know if it interacts with herbs, I'd do one or the other

Ella, that's good to know! I'm actually not going to be around my bf for another month because I'm out of town helping my grandma so I guess the birth control can wait.
