Hi Miss Ellen! Thank you for your 2 cents, I really appreciate it.
I dunno if it's because I have dense tissue, poor circulation but like you said, it could be hormone related and that I might need an extra "boost" of estrogen. I have in fact been taking hops and aguaje (during my follicular phase) for the past two months but I don't really notice any change. My body cannot tollerate very "strong" herbs so I need to be extra cautious, otherwise I would have gone for PM already! A couple of members mentioned that PM could also raise testosterone/LH which I absolutely want to avoid (as I have PCOS). I wish there were more studies done on herbs like PM, aguaje etc. I may try it out one day, but I'd go for a low dose just in case.
As for a BCP, I took one for many years and it didn't do a thing. I need to take a look a closer look at your threads but if I remember correctly, did you take PM? How long did you take it for before you saw results? And do you still take it for maintenance? Thank you <3 XX
