I've waited two months to write this review. I usually go straight to the 1 star reviews to read all the concerns first. I spent a week arguing with myself if I wanted to experience severe headache, possible "cancer," a messed up menstrual cycle, blah blah. I did more research - all of these are signs you have high levels of the "bad" estrogen. Except for cancer - that I could not confirm with research and if anything, you probably are at a higher risk if you have a predisposition with genetics. I've had messed-up hormones for a while. I originally looked into this after being diagnosed with pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder. Been through countless IUI cycles and two rounds of IVF. I'm 32 and essentially premenopausal. I've had hormonal acne most of my adult life (face, shoulders, chest, arms, back). I also have endometriosis. I am "fit" and exercise regularly/eat for fuel not fun yet, still carry that dreaded lower belly fat that never seems to go away.
Week One: I pre-medicated with Excedrin in the morning, Ibuprofen in the afternoon and Tylenol at dinner. I really wanted to give this a shot and still be able to work, not suffer. I experienced the headaches but they were manageable if I kept up on the alternating motrin/tylenol routine. I also discovered that two pills to start was too much. Start with ONE capsule! You will thank me. Had a slight increase in anxiety and mild chest discomfort but nothing I was super concerned about.
Week Two: Headaches stopped, no longer needed meds. I even increased to two capsules. Urine was a bit darker - totally normal, don't panic. You are not dying. Energy started to increase and I am not kidding, the lower belly fat decreased slightly. Also - I noticed my neck smoothed out. This may sound strange but my thyroid has always been a tad larger without there being any dysfunction. It has made my neck look "lumpy" for most of my life. Apparently, a lot of the "bad" estrogen can get stored in the thyroid. Only negative - holy cow was I exhausted, so tired. Sleeping better but sooooo tired.
Week Three: a week before the start of my cycle. Normally I am irritable, angry, have low frustration tolerance, and essentially feel like murdering anyone that say's hello to me. It was so much more manageable. Another bonus, the freaking arm acne and facial acne started to clear up - the week before my period. Unheard of! I also somehow gained some energy and was no longer tired all day long, actually started to feel kind of wonderful.
Week Four: aunt flo came to town. No PMS. I did not experience any extra crazy bleeding or pain BUT I am literally always in pain from endometriosis so I am not a good judge in this area. Sleeping like a rock, acne almost gone.
Next Month: everything is still going great. My mood is so much more balanced, my anxiety is less, my head feels clear, my belly fat is essentially falling off. I have energy, I'm not irritable. My frustration tolerance is actually neutral. The weight loss has subsided a bit toward the end of the month. No headaches, no painful cramping or periods, urine is normal, no chest pain, etc.
My only concerns: 1) if I actually get pregnant after taking this I will burn down the fertility clinic. 2) I missed one day of taking it and had a massive increase in anxiety and irritability. Almost a panic attack. I see this as positive because I know it is actually helping me. If I ever do decide I want to come off of it, I will be cautious and taper off.
Be AWARE, NOT beware! As with any medication, think of it as a messenger, it is giving your body a new message and that always has side effects whether you realize it or not. Use over-the-counter medicines to treat some of those. If it is unmanageable, don't force it. If you can make it through two weeks, it might just change your life.

Great product
So the entire reason I decided to look into this was because of the problems I had going off birth control about 2-3 years ago. Severe breakouts that were painful, and an a late period lasting months. Went to 2 doctors that both refused to check my hormone balance and just kept telling me it was normal and to get back on the pill if I wanted my acne and periods to be normal. Yet i had been off the pill almost an entire year and no end in sight, so I relented and got back on the pill. This time I got off the pill back in 11/22 and decided to take this with primrose oil and vitamin D to try and prevent the same reaction as last time. When I first got off I was taking all of these vitamins for 2 months and the negative side effects I had the previous time weren’t showing up. I decided to see what would happen if I stopped taking it for a month then continue again. After that month I had such painful breakouts and a late period once again. Started taking only DIM again to see if anything would change and within a month I would still get breakouts but not nearly as painful and deep as the previous ones. I have been consistently taking DIM over all else and for the first time last month I had my period 2 days early!If nothing else I know this supplement specifically has helped me get my period back to normal.
