Hi HJ,
First post your stats in the "Personal Programs" forum. What works best for you depends on who you are. There's good examples there of what is relevant: age, measurements and weight, children, breastfed or not, birth control, diagnoses or treatments for hormonal disorders, etc.
The divide between the herbal programs is the phyto-estrogen:
- if you don't mind messing up a natural cycle, you can use pueraria mirifica (PM)
- if you breastfed, wild yam, which is not even a real phyto-estrogen, will do
- if you're prone to acne or facial hair, try hops
- if you tend towards estrogen dominance, poly-cystic ovarian syndrome, or have tubular or underdeveloped breasts, focus more on phyto-progestins than on phyto-estrogens.
Good luck
