It's working great for me in controlling estrogen symptoms. It just works so well that when I took it with my BB pills it stopped all tingles and swelling also.
I have noticed though that if I miss taking it, my symptoms come right back and fast, so I'm wondering if it only mask the symptoms of the estrogen, but doesn't help your body balance itself out.(Kind of like taking a pain reliever for a headache. It gets rid of it, but not the cause of the headache.) I've started adding my progesteron back in each day also to help get my levels back to normal on their own, but the dim is working great to keep me level while I do this. I've decided to extend my break from BB for awhile longer. I would like my system to be back at square one when I begin taking them again in hopes of it working as well as it did for me the first time I started taking them.
In the mean time, I've been noogling and am thrilled to say I'm finally beginning to see some results. November makes a year of noogling and I was such a slow responder to it that I didn't see any swelling until about June. Now I can say that I'm beginning to see a gradual increase in size from that swelling. It probably would have been sooner, but I kept having stuff come up where I would miss a weekend of noogling and have to start over again. My own fault though so what could I complain about. LOL.
