"John Studd, a former consultant gynaecologist at the Chelsea & Westminster Hospital and professor of gynaecology at Imperial College, was the man who identified the co-existence of these three types of depression (linked to a woman's period, childbirth and before the menopause), and named it Reproductive Depression"
There are lots of different takes on what causes it and how to treat it, the above article suggests estrogen gel
Here is another which suggest progesterone is the answer
http://www.virginiahopkinstestkits.com/depresshor.htmlIt is not a random report, we have talked an awful lot on MM about ladies who have problems with depression and whether they are due to hormone fluctuations and what is the best treatment.
Also it is based on women who still have menstrual cycle. if you are presribed estrogen gel mainly for depression in menopause you would automatically be prescribed progesterone if you have not had a hysterectomy.
The point of the comments was that some women found progesterone did the trick and others estrogen, maybe a case of women doing it for themselves and finding their own solutions.
