Well I think it would be more than fenugreek that made you feel dizzy as it has some blood sugar lowering properties or something like that (can't recall exactly but I remember reading this before).

Yep, hops will affect your moods and fenugreek will give you headaches.

The way to fight fenugreek headaches is to up your carb intake, but especially to eat some hard candy or some other simple carb loaded with sugar (chocolate?) and the headache usually goes away in about 3 minutes.

I have not come across anything that counters the moodiness from hops.

If you are taking fenugreek, fennel, and hops (how much of each?) then you are taking too many estrogenic herbs. It is better to focus on one or possibly two. You also need saw palmetto. (or pumpkin seed oil &/or stinging nettle root)

I don't know, I've been taking hops for a while but take it right before I go to bed because from what I help it is supposed to be relaxing and therefore good for making you sleepy.

I don't think she needs SP or any other androgen blocker if she does not have a problem with excess androgens in the first place.

if you're taking fenugreek, you dont really need fennel...cant say much about hops because i never took them.
i think fenugreek makes me dizzy. i prefer fennel, but everyone's different.
i suggest you stop hops and fennel both and see if you feel better.
might be a good idea to introduce one herb at a time...
good-luck.

Thanks for all good advice girls !
i am taking : 1800 mg fenugreek
1800 mg fennel
600 mg hops

and drink glass of milk or soy beans everyday


does seem like maybe a lot!
