I think my oestrogen levels ran low because a new moisturising shower cream was hindering absorption. I had an irregular break through bleed and it felt like I ovulated? Mood was dreadful too.
So I swapped my shower gel and after 3 days felt so much better. Then this morning I woke to find some very light brown flow and my mood and anxiety are bad again.
The thing is WHY? I'm not due to start Utrogestan until April 1st, so why am I having some brown flow now? This happened last month, flow arrived way early on Feb. 27th - and finished just 2 days into taking Utrogestan. Didn't have a 2nd bleed after finishing Utrogestan.
I assumed it happened last month because I wasn't absorbing enough oestrogen and so my own cycle broke through?
I'm now wondering if it's happening again this month because my oestrogen levels haven't had chance to increase enough yet to have suppressed my cycle?
Sorry for sounding so down and fed up. If, and it is IF) this is all down to a bloody shower cream then I'm so cross at having put myself through this just because I wanted softer skin. Nothing is worth feeling like this.
