Updates - minor program tweaks

Last night I started my period! Which I am a little shocked at because I thought I was e dom this month from too much e cream and I thought i wasn't going to start my period on time but then it came - another exact 28 day cycle!!
So happy I am finally balanced now.

Yesterday before my period started, i got my fennel oil in the mail and herb pharm sjw (they came super fast!). So I tried out the fennel oil. I searched online for dosages and found that the oil can cause hallucinations and seizures if you use too much so that's good to know but I think the general topical dosage was 2-12 drops but definitely look this up for yourself first.

I have also read fennel can induce menstruation so maybe that helped a little?? Idk it was probably coincidence.
But fennel is also good for calming digestion issues. I just ate lunch yesterday and put some on my breasts and my gurgly stomach felt better too.
Fennel also has estrogenic properties so I want to be careful with combining it with my e cream - definitely staying with a really low dose. I'm thinking of applying a pea sized amount of e cream every day starting on day 5 of my cycle.

So yesterday, I applied about 6 drops total of the oil to my breasts and that was WAY too much! I was so surprised. But I got the most intense tingles and soreness in my nipples ever. I almost wanted to take it off they were so sore! It felt like i put the strongest peppermint lotion directly on my nipples after someone was twisting them for an hour lol.
Also, I didn't know what fennel oil smelled like before but read it smelled somewhat like black licorice and is strong like fenugreek. It is definitely strong stuff! I could almost barely breathe when applying it lol but the smell dissipates a little and then the smell is soothing. It smells like an herbal antiseptic mixed with black licorice. Even hours later my bf asked why our bedroom smelled like black licorice lol.
I washed it off after 30 minutes.

I'll probably apply only 4 drops 30 minutes before showering.
Today I applied 4 drops and the tingling and soreness was a LOT less intense. I could almost barely handle it yesterday.

Results:

I didn't notice any swelling yesterday when I applied it. Although, later at when my bf and i were brushing our teeth he said my boobs look big (through my pj shirt ) But I think that's just from my luteal swelling and he jst finally noticed them lol.

I don't think they have gotten bigger from the fennel oil just yet but this morning when I applied the oil again, they felt heavier and fuller.
Similar to how it felt when i applied fenugreek for the first time.Except with the fenugreek I got some great swelling.



I'm taking a little break from maca during my period. Will resume probably on day 5 of my cycle.
Can't wait for this cycle! I have a good feeling about this one
Happy growing beautiful ladies!
