I have only been using robust cream for 2x a day for 2 weeks. I'm using it along with noogling and it helped me get better swelling at first. But now I'm 1/2" smaller around my bust than I was when I started. I started taking vitex today. If I am estrogen dominant PM will do me no good right?

Hi sweetpea,

maybe it was just luteal swelling? This is quite common. Most girls lose some after their period. I believe Wahaika once said that his wife ended up smaller after her first round on herbs but she kept it up and had really good growth after a while. She was on regular herbs though.

If you are in fact estrogen dominant, I would NOT recommend you to take PM in whatever form though. PM contains some really strong phytoestrogens and this can cause you some serious problems if you have this condition. You should really make sure that you are not estrogen dominant before taking it. I've heard of many girls who tried out PM and ended up with cysts in their ovaries or developed other serious problems.

Additional progesterone will not necessarily be enough. It really depends on your hormonal profile. If you are estrogen deficient and "progesterone dominant" for example, PM might be the right choice. How do you know you are estrogen dominant? If you are and you really feel that you need some phytoestrogens in addition to progesterone, I think weaker herbs like fenugreek might be much better for you.

I'm sorry I don't want to scare you or anything. But before you take something it's better to be aware of the risks it entails.

Please take care
