I think inositol is quite volatile. I know when I increased my dose in the past, I got a breakout and my period (not on schedule). I'd increase your saw palmetto to two caps a day, then, if your acne ...

I know no one wants to hear this, but really condoms are your best bet: No hormonal interaction and very effective.

WishClean, my skin still sucks, despite months of DIM. I have whiteheads, nodules and an oily nose, though the rest of my skin is dry. I am weaning off of inositol because it's not helping either. Ins...

Getting my hormones checked is also not an option. I have been weaning off of spiro, but that hasn't resolved my acne. I'm on DIM, which isn't working that great. I just increased my metformin but sin...

Had you recently stopped something else you were taking, ate sugar, or changed anything else, even something small? Is it possible to have an initial breakout from saw palmetto? I started taking hal...

Spiro stopped working for me too. Spiro increases estrogen, which can also lead to breakouts. Over time my estrogen increased because my periods were heavier and I gained weight. I'm on DIM to try and...

Maybe start with a moderate dose of vitamin D, since you say your skin is worse in winter.

Hey, All birth control pills are small. You have to purchase a pill cutter at the pharmacy and just do your best. I agree, obviously androgens weren’t/aren’t my onl...

Well, I was thinking another brand might be worth a shot before I give up DIM completely. Some reviewers claim that one brand was more effective than another. Also, my period has regulated since on DI...

If you go off of the pill again, you have to wean off of it. Same thing happened to me when I quit bc, I went on spiro and it improved, now spiro stopped working and I'm searching for anything but the...

I found the copper IUD made my cramps too severe.

Thanks hearts. I'm still having issues with my skin, so I've been thinking that perhaps I should try a different brand of DIM. I did try DIM Detox for a few days and it made my acne much worse, but pe...

  Good luck with myomin! I really hope it works for you. I hear you about being nervous to add CDG because of negative reviews, but for every negative there is a positive. And I literally breako...

Hey hearts,   Good luck with the weight loss, I'm sure it will work out.   Maybe inositol builds up in our system. I mean, this is just one hypothesis, but maybe that's what happened to ...

Hi hearts,   I have actually been taking three DIM per day since July 1st, I remember because that's Canada Day.   I can't really say if DIM is improving my skin or not. The frequency of...

  DIM has helped me lose weight for sure. You had a good experience on it, so it's worth a try.   Hey hearts, Thanks for the update. Sorry to hear you still haven't lost the weight......

Hi hearts! It's nice to hear from you. Thank you for thinking of me. The support on this forum is invaluable.   I agree with you completely, no good can come from picking a cyst or a nodule. So...

Hey WishClean, No worries! I've also been working two jobs, so I know the feeling. Unfortunately, I can't seem to tolerate fish oil, last time I tried it I got two huge nodules the next day. Then ...

  Thanks for this. Did your daughter have trouble with acne prior? And if so, what type of acne? I am familiar with that brand, I take the Glucosmart. But when I was first starting DIM, others...

The swelling has completely gone down from my recent flare up. I have highly reactive skin, so I'm thinking that there could have been something in the DD formula that exacerbated my breakout. Though,...

Hey WishClean, I definitely don’t feel comfortable posting a picture on the open forum. I will PM you one later if you want though. I can tell you that my acne was diagnosed as “nodular” by a dermatol...

Bad news: I got two more nodules and one is the worst I have ever had. I’m guessing that I’ve reacted poorly to something in the DIM Detox—since it’s a cocktail of different herbs. So frustrated! I’m ...

Thanks WishClean! This stuff about antioxidants makes more sense to me now . I do try to consume antioxidants on a regular basis, including honey, leafy veg and fruit. I actually just ordered some ma...

Thanks WishClean! I'll definitely check this out. Steph from Epic Beauty Guide has also been helping me via email. But it would be fantastic to have a face-to-face chat with a professional who underst...

LeksiBabi on this forum says her doctor told her DIM is safe to take during pregnancy.
