Hi Isabelle,
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply, and for sharing your knowledge so generously with everyone. I'm still halfway through reading your program thread, but I've learnt so much already!
I'm actually a little confused about fenugreek so maybe you could help me out? I read in some threads it's a phyto-estrogen and in others it's not (been running between threads/forums like a crazy person so I'm afraid I can't remember the sources), that it increases prolactin but is not a phyto-estrogen? Sorry, haha overwhelmed noob here so I would really appreciate your help on this.
Do you think it will make a difference if I swallow the seeds whole instead of chewing (wonder if the enzymes in saliva have any effect on FG)? I tasted one earlier and it was bitter! Blergh!
As for the extract, thanks for your advice! I'll stick to the EVOO since I'm allergic to alcohol (saddest thing ever!). Sucks that I'll have to wait another 1-2 weeks before I can use it! Will just have to make do with Cocoa Butter + Vit. E for now I guess.
I think I may be imagining things, but I accidentally took 1/2 tsp of fenugreek (1500mg) this morning instead of 1/8 teaspoon (375mg), and followed by my afternoon FG tea. My boobs have been feeling warm and numb (I don't know if it's considered tingly, like teensy pins and needles) on and off. My face and body feel warmer than usual too (which is fine because I have cold hands and feet) Is this normal? It's only day 1 though so it should be too early to have any sensations right? I won't be taking anymore FG tonight since I've already OD-ed, but will still drink my tea and massage before bed. I want to start with the bare minimum to avoid stalling!
