Symptoms of ED are still pretty present, acne has been worse in spite of saw palmetto and my period was about a week and a half late this cycle. On the bright side, I was able to see a doctor that ordered almost all of the lab tests that I wanted (i.e. DHEA, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, etc.). She seems to think that I may suffer for some type of hormonal imbalance and proposed bio-identical hormones. I hope that the imbalance is not too serious but I'm glad that I'm my way to correcting it.
That's the best thing you can do. HRT can be expensive but at least her recommendations can guide you to the right herbs this time around if you cannot go that route.
RC is a strong phyto. If your bottom half is bigger than your top, you most likely easy to be E dom even if you are supplementing with Progesterone type herbs and perhaps aren't able to make enough progesterone in the adrenals.
You should check them and your cortisol morn, noon, night at least. Just so you can rule this out.
