Saw palmetto has a weak effect on estrogen, if any. PM has a strong effect. I wouldn't worry about your estrogen getting lower. Your big chest and relatively smaller butt indicates that your progesterone is probably high already, so part of PM's effect may go to your chest. You may have already experienced a little of that from maca. I don't know if you want that or not. But eventually the balance should shift more and more to your butt. I don't know any way of lowering progesterone other than doing it slowly by raising estrogen, and it would probably be bad for your health to lower it too much anyway.
Try this:
320 mg saw palmetto extract, or 2,500 mg saw palmetto.
500 mg PM (about 1/4 tsp) during the first half of your cycle, beginning with your period. You can use 1,000 mg but it's strong stuff so better to try a moderate amount first and see how it goes.
100 mg PM (about 1/20 tsp) during the second half of your cycle. More than this might delay your period and/or cause other issues related to it.
That should be plenty. If you also want to use maca, aguaje and/or mint it doesn't hurt. For maca you'd use 1-4 tsp. For mint you'd use up to 4 tsp, and you can have this as tea if you like. Note that lowering your testosterone from both saw palmetto and mint may make it more difficult to retain muscle. Creatine may help.
Good luck.
