Isabelle, you are fantastic thank you so much for giving such an in depth response and taking the time to explain it all.
I had started gathering some info on all this but you broke it down so well. Thank you. I had put the information out there but not expected anyone to run a diagnostic. It is very much appreciated. I will be saving your post. I wish you the very best with your journey.
I’m really surprised to see peppermint on your list. I used to be a big drinker of the stuff but I stopped replenishing my supply, not for any reason in particular.
I gather the answer is combine FG with an anti-androgen I think if I go ahead with this will chose liquorish and peppermint. Having done some research I am more aware of the changes in hormones ands what spikes were. Your original suggestion to take the liquorish towards the later half of the cycle makes a lot more sense to me now. It might be worth reserving the herbs above for that time.
Thanks to the links you provided and the explanation of fennel, I think it will become a permanent herb. I have also found aniseed sold in an Indian supermarket which I could add to the fennel intake. I need something that I can take permanently which will help NBE without the issue of hormones, which these do.
The others will be an experiment. Introducing one at a time and low doses will probably be the way to do it. I may try peppermint first then liquorish and finally fenugreek.
