I have been doing NBE for one year with no success. I think I have become estrogen-dominant (headaches) and developed progresterone deficiency (bloated).

After a 10-days cleanse with milk thirstle and re-starting my PM program I have decided to switch to herbs (FG and FN) and PC. To my surprise this gave me more fullness and lots of tenderness so I will continue with this new program.

I am going to try to do the following this cycle:

I will start with 1 x PM pill plus 1 x 400 mg FG per day and if I do not feel any tenderness or fullness within a week I will take:
400-600 mg of fennel (in tea form); and
12000 mg of fenugreek capsules per day (divided into three portions).

I will also continue massaging twice a day using PM cream but am thinking of using something else eventually, once I run out of PM cream.

I also take the following supplements daily:
MSM-5-7 g per day with Vitamin C
L-Arginine - around 8-10 g before going to bed

I have been taking 320 mg of SP extract per day for the last 9 months or so. I always had bad skin and it cleared my skin completely! I feel like I no longer need it so I will be taking it only a couple of times a week.

I have not been noogling for almost a month and will be starting to noogle again next week, hopefully twice a day. Hopefully, I will benefit from the break as many girls here reported. I also take HA when I noogle.

My current size is the same is before, i.e. about 32AAA, may be even smaller. Let's see if increasing progesterone will make any difference.

good luck luisa!

i am also doing PM + herbs + PC cream (only the last week of my cycle). i stopped noogling though, and am using heating pad at night instead.

just throwing this out there. i used to have bad bloating and thought it was hormonal imbalance. turned out i'm lactose intolerant and slightly gluten intolerant. i changed my diet and am now taking pre-biotics and pro-biotics and my stomach's never been happier. have you consider other causes for the bloating?

have you also considered taking goat's rue?

Hi Lled, many thanks for your wishes!

I am having bad luck with GR. I finished what I had and ordered more but the local provider was out of stock so I never received it. You can only buy it in pharmacies here and it is not very common. I may order it from abroad next time.

I am pretty sure that bloating was caused by progesterone deficiency. As soon as I stopped taking PM and started using PC and taking fennel it was gone immidately, same with headaches.

It is a shame you are lactose intolerant. I have noticed that I get pains after a cup of hot chocolate with cinnamon. I now try to drink at least two cups of milk per day.

I am following your progress so good luck to you too!
