Also keep in mind, your IUD has side effects of breast enlargement as you are already getting a dose of synthetic hormones (progestins and estrogens). So it could be that or a combo of both IUD and Brava. I knew a girl who was a B cup and grew to a D cup after months of being on IUD birth control. She wasn't on any supps. and she was way past puberty. So hopefully, this form of BC was prescribed by a knowledgeable Dr. who knows your needs regarding your thyroid health and not just family planning. Often times, they totally miss this and we get worse on BC.
n I dropped the other herbs and stuck with only Fenugreek, I only noticed the syrupy smell, random nipple hairs growing, and dizziness. When I stopped, It all went away. However, if you take it correctly, it may be beneficial for you.

Fennel seems to be good to me. I haven' taken it long enough to notice any ill effects but I truly believe it is less harsh on the glandular system and I seem to respond to it. I get electric shocks sometimes and I fancy the taste.

Thanks for some food for thought. I think there are two types of IUD, first releases hormones and another is made out of copper and has no hormones whatsoever (Paragard), that's the one I picked. Your friend probably had the low hormone one, which supposed to only release hormones into your uterus, but I still passed on that.

Fenugreek seems to be ok... I'm not sure, I'll monitor it some more. I don't feel funny in any way. And I think I've had less trouble with sugar (says I as I munch on a square of dark chocolate at 9:30am in the morning), but seriously, I think I can sanely eat way less.

I'm curious isn't Fenugreek supposed to be prolactin plus a source of progesterone? I also read somewhere on the forum that fennel can stall growth, but I may have taken that out of context.
