3 Cycle Update!
So, I ended up stopping both the SP and vitex. The vitex was fine, but I felt it didn't do much overall so I just finished the bottle a couple months ago. The SP however has been making me feel bad since I first started it. I wanted to give it a fair trial, but how long was it? Four, five months? After that, I decided it just wasn't for me. I'd have even worse mood swings (mine's already bad from stress from school), I'd feel nauseous often, and get headaches and ocular migraines. I tolerated it all for so long because I'm desperate for some boobage, but since I had hardly anything to show for, it just wasn't worth it. I just bought a new bottle not too long since quitting it too...
So, my program was strictly just pm for about 3 months. The first cycle I took one a day for about two weeks, accidentally did it for one too many days and spotted. 0-0;; So I was more careful since, and I ended up never ramping up my dose like I planned to. I really like PM.
Didn't have many mood swings, and I don't feel weird throughout the day. However (TMI), I have huge amounts of discharge not long after menses, and my already long cycle became even longer! It's now 6 weeks instead of 30-32 days. >.<
Also, before I started taking herbs, I would barely cramp if at all most cycles, but now I cramp up badly the first day every cycle...
As for results, I felt the usual tingling/aches every month, just enough to give me wishful thinking but not any progress. The third cycle on PM, however, I feel is my best one yet. The swelling didn't go down immediately during menses, and I, I don't know, I just really feel like it may finally be kicking in.
As I'm entering my 4th cycle in a couple weeks, I started maca...
I've only been taking it for about 4 days now, but I definitely feel stuff. My boobs were seriously aching yesterday! They even hurt now, actually. It does make me feel kinda weird when I first take it again, but not too much overall. And I think I'm getting better rest at night. I don't feel an energy boost during the day, however maybe it's just school preventing that.
I got this gelatinized kind --

Current program
Maca 500 mg - 1/morning except during menses
PM 500 mg - 1/night during follicular phase
Oh, I also got this Volufiline lotion to massage with daily. I don't expect much from it, but any small boost is a good boost, right? I'm hoping it will at least encourage me to massage daily so as to get my money's worth! It's Eveline.

After getting it though, I'm confused by the ingedients list. I don't see volufiline in it... :/
