Lots of awesome info!
I've been readin through this thread and I saw someone ask, but it never got addressed so I'ma ask again lol
After takin the online test I noticed that none of the symptoms really applied to me, does that mean I should be okay to take anything? (Ideally after talkin with a doctor, I know)
I guess all the androgen, estrogen, etc. words started confusing me.
I'm not really sure to start with herbs since it didn't appear that I was dominant or deficient in anything. |
So are you saying that you took the online test and nothing applied to you? well that could mean that you are balanced, but yeah you should confirm that with a doctor, I'm not about trial and error especially when it comes to spending cash lol. But its best to have an idea... cuz you could be like 1 point away from being estrogen dominant and then use a phytoestrogen and  become imbalanced.. just an example, not saying you are.

Can someone PLEASE answer my questions i posted above? I'm getting really discouraged  |
Personally maca made me bloated and didn't give me any inches elsewhere. But it does work for some people. Saw palmetto made me gain 7 lbs so I got an inch in hips but I got 1 inch in my stomach too. I would recommend vitex. It regulates hormones. Go on iherb and read the reviews.

Since i currently have PCOS along w/high estrogen, low progesterone & high androgens, I went ahead and bought some Chasteberry Vitex today to regulate my hormones. I was really close to passing out from losing lots of blood through Menorrhagia (non-stop monthly cyles). Which is another side-effect of having PCOS. I've literally had ENOUGH of dealing PCOS effin up my hormones, the unexplained weight gain & giving me this annoying stomach pooch....just enough! I usually take BC to stop the problem, but i don't want to continue relying on synthetic hormones to temporarily cover up this problem again. So i'm going the herbal/natural way & just gonna stick with Vitex & Cinnamon Tea for now. The cinnamon will also help reduce my estrogen & bleeding. I'm going to give this 2-3 weeks for my hormones to get back to normal before i start my body goals. So excited!!
