Is that 3,240 mg per day? Was that what you started with? That seems extreme. I am taking a lot of herbs together, but Fenugreek being the one I take the most of. And I am only taking 1800mg total a day. Should I be taking more? I haven't read anywhere of people gaining weight or acne, is that a side effect from the Fenugreek?

3240 mg Fenugreek may have been too excessive, but at that time, I was taking Nature way's FG at 640 mg per tablet, and if I took 4 that would have been only 2560 mg. I think I was aiming for 3000 mg a day which I just discovered is right for my profile (older, nursed 4 kids, inflated to 34D while nursing, and deflated to 32AA/34AAA after.) So taking 5 x 640 mg is 3200 mg (not 3240). At this dosage, I experienced the tingling, tightening, and stabbing pains (especially at night right before I go to sleep or while sleeping). Plus, I read somewhere that for breast enlargement to take up to 3600 mg. I was scared to go that high so I stopped at 3240 which at this level is more than enough to give me growth. If I am to go back to taking fenugreek, I would take up to 3000 mg. Looking back now, I though I gained weight (started 124lb and went up to 128 lb), but it was the holidays and I didn't hold back on eating. After the holidays, I went back to my normal 124 lb (5'5.5" height).
