I think you might find that some of us will have different opinions on this one, but I can only give mine based on my experience, since I've been down the estrogen dominance road. I personally think it is best to get the hormones balanced and stable before beginning to increase the estrogen load for NBE. If you are estrogen dominant, depending on the severity, adding more estrogen could be one heck of a roller coaster.
Even though I had mine pretty much under control when I started, I still on occasion am reminded how easily and quickly my hormones can shift and will have to add in a regiment of progesterone cream to get things ironed back out again.
Sorry. I wish I could just tell you to go ahead and try and see what happens, but I really feel getting estrogen dominance under control is a pretty important thing in the long run of a womans health.
You might do some research and find some options that you feel comfortable with trying in a slow pace and see what happens, but do be very vigilant in paying attention to what your body is telling you if you do.
Or better yet, maybe some of the gals that did the herbal route and had estrogen problems can give you some advice on what they tried and how it went.
Good Luck,
Mel
