Why do I feel like my PMT is getting worse
« on: May 22, 2019, 06:47:02 PM »

I have  been taking Evorel 25 and utrogestan 200mg.  I felt  better initially as my mood lifted and I started to feel like myself again. I have always struggled with pmt  but this month it has been terrible. I am very bloated, tearful, easily upset . I have a couple more days on the utrogestan.  I usually feel better when my period starts.
Have I not got the balance right. My mood is better but my pmt is much worse. What do I do ?

Evorel 25 is a very low dose patch. It's probable that you need a higher dose patch , more oestrogen x

HORMONES!

PMT can be eased by eating every 3 hours, 24/7.  Eases sugar levels because the body can get anxious if it requires energy.

I have found during Peri my ' PMT' has got ' worse' year by year
until it feels like it is always there to some degree. No matter what
regime I was on.  Some months are better than others then back it
comes. I have never been able to find a magic fix so just tell myself
it will pass and is just part of the process. The closer to full Meno the
stronger it feels. I think the increased 'stress' / cortisol etc feeds on itself
so the challenge is to try to control the adrenaline. CBT sometimes helps with this
but not in the throes of it.

R U able to describe how you feel? True PMT is prior to a bleed and goes once the period begins.  However  >:(
