Hello,

I am on WU and also adding 540mg of SP do you think I could double the SP dose? I'm not sure how much SP one should take.
thanks

Don't overdo SP, unless you have really significant excess androgen. I have a bit of it and I take 540 my, which I think is quite enough.
SP gets rid of excess androgens, but you need androgens if you want estrogens, cause estrogens are formed from androgens with an enzyme called aromatase. Aromatase needs essential fatty acids for its function, so you should rather have a good source of EFA in your routine, like borage oil or EPO.

Hello Moon,

Thanks for telling me that, how long have you been taking SP? any growth or weight gain?
If I don't have excess androgen is it ok to still take 540mg?

Hello Jelly,


Thank you for your reply, I maybe the second eldest on this forum, I'm 46 my periods are every three or four months.
Do you think one can get booby growth if periods stop?
I'm sorry I'm only learning about the mennopause, had the hot flushes about four months ago and now I don't have them, but periods are finishing I think.
I thought SP may help my growth and started about three weeks ago.
I have uneven boobs, a health looking full C and a tiny undeveloped B I so wish they were even and thought the SP may help the tiny one grow.
how long did your menopause last? I hope you don't mind me asking you.
As for weight gain around my tummy, you would not believe how big my tummy is and the rest of my body is slim.
Is this due to the menopause, Looks like I'm going to have fun for the next few years as an added problem to my uneven boobs.
however life is important to us and at the end of the day, I shall keep smiling.
happy on going sucess to you too.
Laura

ps I have no children unfortunately due to my crohn's disease and heavy meds
