I would suggest one capsule 3x a day for fenugreek, and I've read to do the same with saw palmettto. I'm not sure about PM as it is quite strong. I would go with whatever the bottle suggests.
With the fenugreek you can eventually boost yourself to 2 capsules 3x a day, but don't take more than that.
I suggest starting out with just one 3x a day because I personally had some negative side effects with fenugreek and just in case you have some, you don't want to be on too high of a dose and exacerbate anything that might go wrong, you know?
As for once a day vs throughout the day, throughout the day is better. The best way to think about it is like, if each capsule keeps the herb in your system for three hours (that's an example I don't actually know how long they last) you'd rather take it three times a day and have your hormones boosted for nine hours as opposed to three really strong hours.
I know its less convenient, but it'll keep your more consistent than having a crazy spike at 9am or whenever you take it, and then settling back to normal throughout the rest of the day, only to spike again in the morning.
