Depends on what you decide is best for your needs. During follicular phase (first day of period till start of ovulation), you'll want to take estrogenic herbs. FG, PM and such. During luteal phase (ovulation till start of period), you'll want to take progesterone related herbs. Vitex, PC, wild yam...
I'm estrogen dominate, yet I still have low estrogen levels. My progesterone is very, very low and doesn't counterbalance with estrogen. Many women have this problem. So I don't take any estrogenic herbs and use PC to help get my levels back up.
Checkout this thread if you think you may have a progesterone deficiency.
