Thanks for all of the great info Isabelle. I will decrease the Dong Quai. To answer your question, no I did not originally start the DQ with my original program. I had stopped growing after the original inch in the first month so thought maybe my program needed tweaking. I gained the last quarter of an inch over the last month but that all happens during the second half of my cycle. I think I need to do some research on how to work better with my menstrual cycle.
Since I was just recently diagnosed I won't know much about dietary restrictions for a few more weeks. I was just more concerned with what the steroids were going to do to my body but they are only for five weeks. If I stay where I am that is fine, I just don't want to lose my growth since I have been having problems. I also thought maybe the increased testosterone would make me more sensitive to estrogen.
It was quite disappointing that the doc came in, told me the diagnosis while I was just coming to and then sent me home with a scrip that I know nothing about. Now that the holidays are over I can finally look into it. But I appreciate the links and look forward to reading them. Happy new Year!
