I agree 100% with what Beverley says, but I would also add one thing.
There is a theory, which I believe in, that cycling the dose is beneficial because it stops the body becoming to used to a certain level of phytohormones and a negative feedback starting, which creates stalling.
I get headaches after a few days at 6 x500mg PM a day, so I go up to the 6 level for 2 or 3 days then when the head starts hurting I drop it back to 4 a day for 2 or 3 weeks, then down to 2 a day for a few days then back up to 6, and so on.
This both very roughly mimics a natural estrogen production and keeps the levels changing.
In terms of true 'safety', nobody really knows because nobody has done any toxicity tests, etc, as far as I know.
