Been reading lots more, especially Ginie's program thread (http://www.breastnexus.com/showthread.php?tid=7251). I've decided to start from scratch and add new herbs slowly and one-by-one, so I can monitor changes and have a better idea of what's causing what. I'd like to work up to a PM program eventually, but I am not overly eager.
For the past two weeks I've been taking only MSM; one tablet in the morning and one at night (1500mg per tab). Plus massaging as consistently as possible; usually 20-30 mins per day before bed. Right now I feel really sore, but it's probably just from massaging too hard after chest workouts -_-.
I've started keeping a thermometer next to my bed so I can try BBT charting. I was thrilled to notice that my WomanLog app already does this for me. Before I was just recording my temperature sporadically, more to check on colds and general curiosity. Reading Ginie's thread has definitely shown me how useful charting can be. I like that she was so adamant about maintaining as natural a cycle as possible.
I've ordered Meiji marine collagen powder and I'm looking forward to taking it, for skin and hair health equally if not more than NBE. My skin and hair have gotten so much better on MSM; even my eyelashes seem longer, and I'm losing fewer of them.
I'll stick to just MSM and collagen + massage for a while; maybe 2-3 months, while I get to know my cycle more intimately. Then I'll consider adding hops, since I've read from Isabelle's thread that it's a good one to use alone.
Before I was definitely too impatient. Hopefully this approach will be less stressful!
