I think it's incredibly risky taking ANY herbs without an actual doctor being involved. When I took fennel many years ago I increased my estrogen so much that my hair started falling out and I got two estrogen marks on my face that are still there (look it up). When I took maca my period started 2 weeks early! Freaked me out. I've been herb free for years now and still growing!
Jen you are right! And yeh i was perfectly healthy before NBE with normal periods.
The only reason i take fennel tea is because of this gut disorder and fennel reduces gas and bloating. But with that said i didnt realise you took fennel initally too. I thought it was the PM and other herbs that hurt you. Hm yeh brings up the thought il question fennel when i see my naturopath yet. I had a couple of bloods done Jen that had my estrogen in the normal range but in a slightly higher ration to progesterone, but they were blood and therefore considered not as accurate.
Interesting so Maca messed you up too... Yeh i have my back up abit about maca. Im sure theres some interaction with ovarian cysts but when i tried to backtrack and find the research i couldnt.
