Obviously I was hoping to find out an answer by myself instead of having to discuss this with my doctor...

Maybe I should try only topical creams or the Brava / Noogleberry systems to avoid messing up with my hormones...But there are so many products out there I'm now confused what works or not!

I don't want to overload your thread with off-topic posts, Rose. So I'll just try to answer this briefly.

Sceptical: Talking to your doctor is always a good idea, but I doubt they would have the advice you are looking for, as NBE is NOT something covered in medical school There is not a lot of research into many of the herbs that people on this forum take.

Don't think that just because you use a cream instead of a pill that it is somehow "milder" and will not affect your hormones. Many people find that creams are MORE potent. It depends a lot on the brand and dosage. Good luck.
