Well, I just want to share something with you girls, any input/ideas/comments are much appreciated:-)

Started on estrogenic herbs about a month ago. That was one week prior to my period. I use a commercial product and I am not sure about the doses of the ingredients. It says it's extracts and I don't know how to convert them into normal mg's. I noticed the following:

Good:
-Better skin (less acne, more radiant complexion)
-Less headaches (this is a breakthrough- really an amazing discovery as I have suffered from migraines for about three years and always had the hunch it had to do with hormones but couldn't really see a pattern)
-Less constipation

Not very good:
-Very emotional
-Visible veins over my entire body
-Painful ovulation (never had this)
-Losing blood
-Nothing AT ALL in boob-department (no sensitivity, tingles, anything)
-Most of all, emotionally not feeling like my self.

I have to say, overall, that I feel my body doesn't agree with the herbs. The fact that I notice a change in my migraines however makes me decide to try to keep taking a small amount of estrogenic herbs to see how that will work. I really don't like the blood loss I am having though and the emotional stuff is getting to me as well. When I take the full amount of pills (as suggested) then I am almost feeling depressed. Since NBE takes quite long to work, I can say for sure I couldn't do this for that long. I still want to know how my next period will be on herbs. I am always in horrible pains, to the extend where I can hardly stand up straight or sit down because of the pain down my butt (sorry) and belly.

What I'd like to share most, is that this experience learns me so much about my body. I have never really realized how much a woman's body is effected by her hormones throughout the entire month and how much it is doing inside of you and how it affects your mood.

I hope I learn more and one day will be able to control my menstrual pains, migraines and everything involving my hormonal symptoms.

And maybe along the way have my boobs to grow for about two cupsizes:-P

Ah, I don't mean I will stop NBE though, just the estrogenice herbs!

TOTALLY!!!! Women are sooo affected by hormone at different parts of the cycle.

I stumbled across an amaaaazing calender earlier this year about which part of the cycle does what to your body, and which are the best days for NBE, which are the best days to lose water retention, which are the best days to work out, which are the most effective days to lose weight etc....IT IS AMAZING. I wish I had found this calender like 10 years ago. And everything in my life all of a sudden makes sense!!

I don't have time right now but tomorrow or the day after I'll type out the calender and share with you if you want.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

I would def be interested in this calander....will look here for it over ther next few days.....thank you

Wow, I'm very much interested in that, would be great if you could type that out:))

Up for Sandra's calendar:-))
