I am curious how many miligrams of fenugreek we are all taking. When I started, I probably took too much, about 3600 mg per day. I smelled like syrup and felt like I was popping pills all the time. However, I had tingles and pains and swelling/growth. Since ramping down to about 1200 mg, my tingles and pains have been much less, although I do feel that I am still growing slowly. Now I am ramping back up, just to see if it will help...but I am wondering how much fenugreek you all take? Maybe 3600 mg is not really too much, especially for those of us with higher weights and more breast tissue to begin with??? Actually, the bottle recommends 1800-3600 mg per day...
I take 2440mg of fenugreek a day. . . so that's two 610mg capsules twice a day. But I just started taking my herbs yesterday, so I don't have much to say about progress.

I took the 3600 like you as well when I first started my routine ages and ages ago and grew fine, but I seem to grow as well on lower dosages, and chances of stalling are higher the higher dosages you take just because you can ramp up less.
Just recently I was only taking 1200 mg and grew as well on that as I did on the 3600. Hhowever, I have changed my routine a bit since, adding the pill which may make a difference.
If you are larger in frame and have already a bigger bust to start with you can take up to 3600 without any concer I would think. If I was you I would just ramp up one or two more pills just now though just to see, and not right up to the 3600 because even though the lower dosages may work less for you, you may not need them up to the maximum either.
