Hi, I have been reading this site with interest for a while and wanted to get your thoughts on my situation if that’s ok.
I’m currently on 3 pumps of oestrogel along with the Mirena coil. Only went up to 3 today. I’ve had the Mirena since 2018.
I’m 41, was on the pill from an early age due to PCOS and had suffered with low mood and anxiety throughout that time and multiple different pills. I came off to conceive my son in 2012 with metformin in 2012 followed by PND.
I had my daughter in 2016, conceived naturally followed by PND.
Whilst recovering in the years following I noted my symptoms appeared hormonal and I could feel totally fine and the me I know whereas other times I could be in a very dark place. I feel these symptoms have gotten worse these last couple of years and wondered if I’m beginning perimenopause. I appear to be v sensitive to any hormone shifts
I appear to have issues when my period finishes where I’m extremely irritable/rage full And full of anxiety. Then I would have a more depressive episodes pre period. I had menstrual migraines, terrible ovulation pain and a few hot flush episodes but not many. Random insomnia.
I visited a hormone clinic in March and started of oestrogel and went up to 3 yesterday after a review. I don’t fit the standard PMDD as it’s not just post ovulation. I wondered if I’m beginning peri?? I feel I’m losing myself these last couple of years and my quality of life is lowering and it’s affecting how I am as a mum, wife and at work.
Bloods, which I know aren’t terrible reliable, showed normal range FSH and Estradiol at 79 pmol/L when taken on day 3.
The aim is to get up to 4 pumps.
Would this suppress my cycle?
