Hi Dangermouse - I could kiss you!
You have absolutely nailed on why I feel like I do. You mentioned time of the month, and it is exactly that, my time of the month without the period!
I read your reply - and went to search for my diary to look at my last natural period in February this year. Low and behold, bang on every 30 days, I am having horrible PMT. I couldn't understand why on earth I was having these dips mid month, I was beginning to think that I didn't like the oestrogen, but now it makes total sense.
Looking at my mood diary, it makes total sense. I was having time of the month twice in one month, one HRT driven and the other my own. But I'd got myself wrapped up in whether it was the oestrogen Or the combi patch that was causing and of course, could see no pattern at all.
Now I've spotted what happening, what do I do about it? Move my HRT to match my own cycle or take something stronger that overrides my own fluctuations?
Thanks again xxx
