I should have found this site sooner !!

"Saw palmetto-Saw palmetto-Beta-sitosterol is a natural alpha-adrenergic receptor blocker. Prevents DHT from accumulating in prostate tissue that would otherwise cause excessive cell growth and inflammation. The plant steroids in saw palmetto also act on progesterone receptors, an action that causes a reduction in estrogen levels. "

I`ve been taking Saw palmetto as part of my daily intake. ( @ 360mg )Mainly to prevent DHT being formed from free T, and this is the first time I have seen it also effects the progesterone receptors. Not what I really wanted to read.

Last week I ordered some PM now, after reading through this site I realize I have not ordered nearly enough dosage strength, ( 100mg tabs, instead of 800mg ones )

I`ll be keeping on my current intake, and adding the PM to the mix.
@ 6000mg Fenugreek daily
@ 8000mg Fennel daily
@ 8000mg Flax seed
360mg Saw Palmetto ( tabs )
240mg Ginkgo Biloba ( tabs )

The top 3 items are approximate values ( from my scale ), I purchase them in bulk form.

I`m hoping even if I take 200mg of the PM ( for now ) its going to make a difference. Presently, I have experienced some tissue build up ( 2" from my tape measure ) I find my nipples are more sensitive than they have ever been, and surprisingly, my sex drive is up through the roof.

My next task is to drop my intake of Saw Palmetto, and locate a replacement.

Hi there Janet,

Your decision to eliminate SP is removing a necessary road block. I like your choice in FG, I'd suggest to build yourself to 7000mg, I've posted some info that I found about females using that amount and producing milk in 72 hours. I've yet to experience it but I notice that it does have an impact.

On the Flax-seed it's mixed success, some will say it stops there progress dead in its tracks, I've tried it and have had no success with it either. So to me it's just another road block like SP.


You're doing the right thing in educating yourself, you'll find that herbs have different functions and finding the right combination of their actions is what will determine your success.


Don't believe for a minute in simplifying ones program, you'll never get out of an A-cup if you do.


Good luck, welcome aboard and feel free to ask questions!
