Hi Irish lassy,
Yes, you have identified the smell... lol. And no, it will not go away unless you stop taking the fenugreek.

I'm a big fenugreek user and I haven't noticed this problem.

My daughter who is 10 likes my 'scent'. She asked me the other day what caused it and if she could start taking FG too! I told her not until she was at least 18. Of course I didn't tell her what I was taking it for.

that's just great! 'giggles' having kids around has to be fun (sometimes) lol.
i had someone tell me i smell like brown sugar, i took it as a compliment, i'd rather smell like brown sugar or maple syrup than gross sweaty stinky B.O, besides i fugure if i smell like it, it HAS to be working!
how about you?

Yes the smell is not actually BO, that's not the correct description.

I prefer the term 'Eau de Fenugreek' myself. It's funny, I've been using FG for almost a year now and have only recently (within the last 2 months) noticed it's trademark fragrance. My daughter and I like it and my husband not so much. Oh well, but I can think of many worse things to reek of.

i started getting the fenugreek funkiness the 2nd day of my program, but i also started getting breast swelling! so i'm not giving up!
i don't like putting chemicals on my skin so i usually use tom's of maine deoderant, if any. but since the fenu-funkiness started i needed something more fragrant. i've been using Desert Organics Vanilla Chai lotion. the smell is really spicey and covers the funk well. also i found that when i drink copious amounts of water it helps.
i haven't told anyone about what i'm doing, least of all my fella. but the other night he had his hands all over my boobs and said they felt really firm it's only been a week and my bras are getting tight and my cleavage is way more enhanced.
we can do it!

Hi Irish Lassy,
Congratulations on your growth! I can completely relate to you on the Fenugreek funk =( . If you don't mind my asking, did you incorporate Fenugreek in your massage? Or did you take Fenugreek orally? I just started to use Fenugreek with my massages, and I just can't seem to be able to get rid of the smell. In reading your post, I am very interested in trying out the Vanilla Chai lotion that helped you. How is the smell now? Hope all is still well, and good luck to you!! =)

my fenu-funk is better! i've been trying to drink a ton of water. the vanilla chai lotion helps too. i can't stop now, i'm getting great results!
i only ingest fenugreek. i use evening primrose and borage in my massage. my whole program is listed on the program page.
good luck to you too!
i love myself, i want to love my boobies! xoxo irish lassy
