Hi Hope,
A lot of herbs is usually what it takes. The amount of herbs taken is actually fairly low. The herbs don't provide the body with estrogen. They provide a "phytoestrogen" which is a molecule that is different than estrogen but similar enough to fill estrogen receptors. Other herbs stop certain things and other help, so it just depends on the herb and the effect.
Pueraria mirifica might be a good direction to go, also.
I would have to disagree with your endocrinologist and gynecologist that your hormones are normal. If they were, you would have a regular monthly cycle. To really get an idea of what the body is doing, daily hormone tests should be conducted but this is idealistic and expensive. So, they test on one day and compare the hormone levels with what they should be for that day. But the test is valid only for the conditions of that day. Which specific hormones were "slow?"
Can you describe every single thing you had to eat and drink over the past week?
Do you have any problems with hirtuism?
As a priority order, do you want to focus on NBE, your cycle, or acne as the most important thing?
