Peppermint tea and/or saw palmetto?

So, ladies, what is the word on peppermint tea? Should it be used alone? Would just saw palmetto be better, or would a combination of the two be really good?

I haven't taken temps...so I dunno if peppermint tea makes my temps go lower. Should I attempt this and see?

I don't know about temps but from what I've read, saw palmetto will lower your testosterone and 3 strong cups of peppermint tea is a gentler version. I think you can do both but I'm not sure!!! Also my temps definately got lower the first cycle of swaying but why this was I don't know, I was drinking alot of peppermint tea but I had also changed alot of other things too

One of the reasons I finally started Saw Palmetto was so I could stop worrying about having to drink peppermint tea all day! It was such a relief to drop that since I'd always forget till the end of the day and then end up choking down 3 cups at once. I'm pretty sure you can do both, but you probably wouldn't want to have 3 cups a day if you did that.

I think saw palmetto is WAY more effective than peppermint tea. Also, pep tea may make estrogen rise as it makes testosterone go down, which some evidence indicates may sway blue.

Don't mix the two because some of the ways they work are in opposition.

From March untill May I drank peppermint tea and my cycles were really short, 24 days.
I really liked that but now I´m taking saw palmetto and it delays O, this month I had a cycle of 31 days.
That´s annoying but I think it may mean my hormones are better now and that before the peppermint tea alone perhaps made my estrogen rise, so that´s why I ovulated easily and early in the cycle. Don´t know if that makes sense. Also, I noticed that peppermint tea makes me have more CM, before and after ovulation, making it harder to understand when I O.
So this month I´m only taking SP.

I'm still BF so I'm going to stick to the peppermint tea as I'm not prepared to take any risks
