I wonder why everyone uses around 2,000 mg of everything regardless of what it is. Some things are chili peppers and some things are watermelons, y'know?

• 320 mg saw palmetto *extract* is popular to lower DHT testosterone. 2000 mg whole herb (not extract) is a little weaker I think but still something.
  
• 2000 mg vitex will lower prolactin which may lower progesterone. 40-125 mg vitex will raise prolactin which might raise progesterone. For that matter even if you wanted to lower prolactin (not that you do), 500 mg vitex would be plenty for that.
  
• 1000 mg PM is a rather high amount of estrogen. It may aggravate PCOS. You might want to start with 500 mg or less and see if you come out ok before trying more.
  
• I could never find much concrete information on evening primrose oil.
  
• Fenugreek contains steroidal saponins that affect estrogen, progesterone, luteinizing hormone, prolactin and insulin. It combines well with all of these both naturally occuring and herbal. 2,000-25,000+ mg is good, though large amounts can cause an upset stomach unless you get sprouts, extract or tea.
  
• Yazmin provides progestin (similar to progesterone) and estrogen. The progestin is probably why it helps PCOS. That and its particular progestin has a minor anti-testosterone effect too.
  

Progesterone cream could help you with progesterone. It's also far stronger than vitex or fenugreek for this. So the PM won't so easily overwhelm it like it overwhelms everything else which makes you more estrogen dominate with worse PCOS. You may still take vitex for prolactin. You may still take fenugreek since it combines quite well with progesterone, prolactin and estrogen (and with progesterone cream, vitex and PM).
