Cold, period issues, sweaty, shaky and sick: The herbs & PC are overloading your nutritional resources. Plus even without the herbs your profile shows related past issues. So worsening them with herbs isn't a surprise: Diverting the already poor resources that went to them to your breasts instead is probably a bad idea.
Acne: PC increased testosterone, maybe maca a little too.

For nutrition I suggest large amounts of whole grains for the bulk of your diet, especially brown rice or rice bran (made from brown rice). Spinach, cilantro, brocolli or parsley are nice too. Also large amounts. Either way you can't just eat a little and then feel like you're eating healthy; it actually has to replace a large portion of what you eat. Multivites or multi-Bs aren't enough either, but a multi-B is better than nothing. Just don't go over about 300% RDI on any vitamin from a pill or it could make your nutrition worse for the vitamins that aren't on the label. This is not an issue with food, because it also has the other vitamins not on the pill bottle's label.

I also suggest a low dose or very low dose of PC for now and stopping the maca altogether. An anti-androgen is good too, as long as you're taking PC.

After your nutrition improves, health improves, and you no longer respond negatively to herbs and PC: Go back to large dose PC, shatavari and an anti-androgen. Test your hormone levels to make sure you don't overdo the progesterone and end up progesterone dominant instead. Once the estrogen dominance is gone reduce the PC and add a phytoestrogen such as PM. For any other phytoestrogen besides PM use very little PC or it could overwhelm the herb (after you are no longer estrogen dominant).

Since your into nutrition you say, could you post up a thread which isolates what foods/superfoods supply which vitamins/minerals etc ones essential for overall health ie like you promote rice bran etc and oysters and mushrooms in the past.
Having read a disturbing article yesterday about the risks of going over RDI's of certain vitamens its scared me. Ive asked similar before, but maybe to put this info up in a dedicated thread might keep it up there if you will. Cheers.
