Hi Bustege,

from your description it looks like you might be oestrogen dominant.
which I am as well with even lower progesterone.
I would recommend you to first balance your hormone with vital for like 2/3 months or until symptoms get better before proceeding with adding anymore oestro.


I am now done with Vitex and next cycle I will introduce milder oestro with fenugreek and fennel. I will take them day 1 to 6 and then take vitex again and start like this. I will let you know if this works.

Have you checked your cortisol level as well ? this can hinder your breast growth

Hi Neverloosehope,

Thanks so much for your reply! Honestly, I've learned more from you about hormones than I have from any of the doctors I've visited, so again, thank you! So I've done a little bit of reading about oestrogen and I think you're right. I certainly have all the symptoms. I'm still learning and I can't believe that none of the doctors I went and saw every recommended that I go have my hormone levels checked.

I haven't every heard of Vital, is that similar to Vitex? I will certainly take you advice and will let you know how I go. Let me know how your new cycle works too

I haven't checked my cortisol levels. And unfortunately I won't be able to for a while. I live rural now, after a series of unfortunate life events, so I don't have access to a doc with a lab unless I travel a long distance. I've just been crippled with insecurity and sadness from this bout of acne and the period pain. I've always been insecure about my breasts too, so I wanted to act now to help myself feel better and ultimately heal.
