I posted a few days ago, about how for the 3rd month in a row, my mood has dangerously dipped & my anxiety returned with a vengence, from day 12ish through to days 20ish. This month days 18 & 19 were particularly severe, literally shaky and nauseous with anxiety. It's so frightening.
Then magically it goes. Within an hour. Feeling much calmer, but quite headachy.
Now, I understand that your progesterone rapidly rises at ovulation, and peaks roughly a week after ovulation.
I can only conclude that I am reacting horribly to my own progesterone surging for the week after ovulation? The timing can't be coincidental, can it?
But, last month (and I hope for this month) my mood rapidly improves after day 20, and remains fine up until my bleed, and right through my bleed.
Has anyone else had this reaction, and at the same time each month?
Not sure how I can combat my awful reaction to my progesterone surge for those 7-8 days. 4 pumps doesn't seem to compensate enough at this time, at all.
