So far so good"¦ still too early to really tell if it's working"¦ I need to give it more time.

I believe it is helped quite a bit I don't wake up in the middle of the night drenched and I feel somewhat little more energetic and I'm planning on continuing with it. Very pleased

I like this product. Feel less moody. I still have hot flashes but it seems to be helping.

To Lindsey W, whoever you are out there you saved me! I tried to find a way to private message you but couldn't. Your review of this saved my sanity. I was struggling with PMDD and struggling with the thought of having to take a medication I didn't want to take. After reading the reviews and doing research of my own, it helped me feel like myself again in less than a month! So wherever you are I pray blessings upon you! I appreciate the time you took to write that review and try to help others. It certainly helped me!
For those of you struggling with PMDD please read her review below:

PMDD help with supplements

Verified Purchase
Size: DIM 200
I want to write this to help people diagnosed with PMDD that can't or don't want to get on birth control and don't want to get on antidepressants. I am not doing this as a doctor but someone that has experienced it and found a solution that works for me. It may not work for everyone else. That being said I'll keep it short as possible. I had severe postpartum depression after I quit breastfeeding my daughter. Very severe. I let it go too long because I didn't know what was going on. The doctor prescribed me lexapro and it worked a little at first but it took it a full 8 weeks to work better and even then it didn't get rid of all of the symptoms. It was a low dose but I didn't want a big dose because I knew I would be getting off of it soon and just wanted the help for a little while. I wish I would have started my supplements then instead of the lexapro because I now know hormone imbalance was my problem. My prescription ended at 5 months after starting it and that put my daughter at 1 year. I weaned off of it and it wasn't too bad but I started getting really weird symptoms. After I would ovulate I would go into a rage for 2 weeks with severe mood swings. I told my doctor about it and they wanted to put me on birth control which I can't take due to the type of migraines I get. So they wanted to put me on Prozac. I took one dose of Prozac and it made me feel super weird so I was determined to find out what the root of my problem was instead of taking Prozac. I also was having pain on the right side under my ribs and my throat kept having a swollen feeling. After tons of research I found it is very common to be hypo/hyper thyroid after a baby and that estrogen dominance is very common. The pain in my side was due to excess estrogen messing up my gall bladder function and the swollen feeling in my throats was due to the hypothyroid. I also had the other symptoms that goes along with these two issues i.e. Mood swings, anxiety attacks, hot and cold flashes, sleepiness, irritability and so on. I did research and started taking these two supplements.

Thyroid support and DIM. I also took some other additional supplements to help with the estrogen metabolizing because I was miserable and desperate.

I can go into detail on what these do but I'm trying to keep this brief. Anyway they started working within a week. I started feeling better. I took 2 DIM a day for 2 months in addition to the normal doses of the other supplements. I gradually kept feeling better but I'm an impatient person and I had been feeling bad for so long I wanted it to feel totally normal again as soon as possible. After more research I found that Curcumin helps you feel better while the DIM and Thyroid support does it's job. It took me a long time to get to feeling this way so it would take a while for me to get out of it. I ordered one brand of curcumin that's no longer available but I've replaced it with this one

https://www.amazon.com/Turmeric-Bioperine-Available-Standardized-Curcuminoids/dp/B01DBTFO98/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1495636427&sr=1-4&keywords=curcumin

I started feeling like myself at Day 5 of taking this. It's amazing. I sometimes take up to 9 a day but it's on days I feel particularly terrible which always coincides with my hormone cycle (or slight hangover) but I always take at least 3 a day. No side effects or any issues with this. It's amazing. It keeps me sane while the dim and the thyroid support correct the issues I've had. I just wanted to write this to give people an option to try before antidepressants. You should know within a week of these supplements will help you or not. I'm not doctor. I'm not trying to get anyone to stop taking their meds. I am simply putting out there an option that worked for me and took a lot of trial and error to figure out.

So my daily supplement regimen that initially worked for me. I have since lowered my doses after 2 months of this.

2 DIM by smokey mountain naturals one morning one night. I would recommend only taking 2 if your estrogen dominance is severe and only for 1 month. After that lower to 1 a day.
Thyroid Support by 1 body 2 in morning
1 Calcium D Glucarate by Thorne research
3 turmeric curcumin with bioperine by Schwartz bioresearch sometimes more
1 double strength zinc picolinate by Thorne research in morning
Fish oil in morning
Relaxed mood gummies by vitafusion
Neuromag magnesium l-threonate by life extension at night. 1 scoop.

I now only take
1 DIM
2 Thyroid Support
2 Relaxed mood gummies
3 Curcumin and occasionally more throughout the day.
Magnesium at night.

It's a lot of supplements and some are a little expensive but I prefer this to Prozac. Please PM me if you have any questions. I've tried a lot of things in addition to these that I didn't list because I wanted to keep this as short as possible. Again this is just what worked for me and I am not a doctor. I was just desperate for anything to help me that wasn't an antidepressant.

Listen.. when I say this product has been a life saver I MEAN IT. Like a lot of people I will try a product, love it, then lose interest or later realize I overhyped it. I did the same with this product initially in that I lost interest. In reality what I did was overlook ALL the benefits I was receiving from adding this supplement into my routine. The best way I can give a review is tell my story and hope that someone can relate and hope that people will give it a shot and have the same AMAZING results that I am grateful to be able to share with Amazon customers.

WHY I PURCHASED: I was experiencing uncomfortable heavy menstruation after having removed Nexplanon.

ABOUT ME: I'm 43, have children, and have used Nexplanon for 2 full courses (6years) with about a 1 year break in between the two. Prior to that I periodically used oral birth control off and on since my teenage years. My periods and reproductive system have been healthy, normal cycles, and no significant medical issues.

MY STORY: After removing my second round of Nexplanon** my periods (which completely stopped for the entire 3 years of Nexplanon use) returned extremely heavy with TONS of symptoms such as pain, cramping, headaches, fatigue, dry skin, mood instability, etc. I talked to my doctor who suggested I may need to either have a hysterectomy or go back on Nexplanon to control the issue ( which wasn't an issue prior to Nexplanon use). Neither felt logical and I was confused so I delayed for months. I needed relief and since I didn't want the risks associated with continuing hormone based birth control in my 40's I SCHEDULED A SURGICAL CONSULTATION FOR A HYSTERECTOMY. Not long after I had the appointment with the surgeon I sort of happened across this supplement. I wasn't really looking for it but after seeing it, I read into it, and thought it was worth a shot. Now like a lot of people I will purchase a product, love it, and then lose interest or later realize I overhyped. I almost did that with this product because after I started taking it my symptoms subsided ESPECIALLY my period, which went back to normal. I was taking other steps to improve my health so I didn't give the credit to this DIM supplement and eventually stopped taking it because I didn't think it was making a difference. BOY WAS I WRONG. Within one cycle my body went back to horrible symptoms. (I want to mention here that although all symptoms had returned they weren't as bad as before I began this supplement at all which, to me, indicates it's possible this supplement has some long-term/semi-permanent or permanent lasting benefits.) Obviously I restarted this DIM supplement and now I see so much clearer what I overlooked the first time around.

THE BENEFITS FOR ME: The most important benefit I receive from adding this supplement to my routine is HANDS DOWN the YOUTHFUL VAGINA it has returned to me. My vag is like.. 22 year old now. Normal periods, juicy like a ripe peach, no discharge or any of the chaos that increases with this high maintenance b+*#$ as you get older. I mean it wants to be poppin on a handstand these days. My period is "normal" or light to medium flowing virtually cramp and symptom free. I now have pre-childbirth early 20's barely an inconvenience periods. 5 days tops, heavy but not disrespectfully heavy (Ultra tampon + light pad every 3-4 hours) the first 48 hours then regular (Super/Regular tampon and liner) for the next couple days and VIOLA all done. (In comparison, prior to Smoky Mountain Nutrition DIM, I had 10+/- days of extremely heavy (largest pad and strongest tampon changed every 1-2 hours for the first 5 days and still the need to continue with both hygiene products to avoid leaks for another day or two.) I cannot stress enough the mental relief not having to suffer through and cater my life around a rude menstrual cycle has given me alone. The second most important benefit I get from this supplement is mood stability. I don't have the rollercoaster of emotional then frustrated then feeling wore out and tired then tearful and so on and so on that I was experiencing prior to taking this supplement. These benefits are so great I didn't even realize how bad my hormone associated mood instability was until I took this, stopped, then started again. Other benefits include: less bloating and fatigue, clearer less dry skin, better sleep, less (none really) headaches, and stable appetite ( no cravings for salt/sugar).

I know everyone has their own struggle with hormones. We get such mixed and unclear information regarding the foods we eat (specifically meat) which causes us all, men and women, to have hormone fluctuation but there is definitely an impact from the foods we eat. Numerous medical conditions cause hormonal imbalances. Prescription meds, stress, aging... you name it and it can impact hormones which will then wreak havoc on your body in ways and with symptoms you may not even realize are occurring. This product is underrated and underadvertised. More people should know and use this product. It's AMAZING.

**DISCLAIMER: This is not a negative review of Nexplanon birth control. I actually loved this form of birth control and would use again as well as HIGHLY recommend for anyone. I have tried all forms of birth control and this one is by far the best and the winner. Like everything, there are side effects to it's use and this is just MY experience. Other factors should be taken into consideration such as my age, medical condition, number of pregnancies, etc when considering my own experience with Nexplanon that will undoubtedly be very different than your own experiences. No matter what I experienced it was worth it. Highly recommend.
