Ya wild yam / diosgenin is not progesterone at all, but diosgenin has its own effects on various hormones including progesterone and others. The most abundant saponin in fenugreek is also diosgenin btw and ditto for it.

I am thinking of getting PC for my luteal phase just to speed things up with the PM that I'm using during my follicular. I also plan to take fenugreek and fennel tea during luteal...but PC would be more convenient.

My only concern is that, right now, as far as I know, my hormone levels are pretty balanced. Would using PC for NBE make my body rely on it (for a long time, or forever!!)?
Because I keep reading that it's mostly for perimenopausal women, or those with PMS symptoms, and I have none of that thankfully....I just don't want to mess up my hormones if there is no need. At the same time, I like the idea of PC making my estrogen receptors more sensitive to PM etc.

So, would using PC make my body a bit over reliant on it? Or would my body readjust itself once I stop NBE?
Help oh brainy people TIA
