It's really good that you slept better last night and feel calmer and brighter today (no coincidence I am sure).
It sounds like you've shaken off the nasty progesterone withdrawal symptoms and are now back in track to feel good for another few weeks.
Progesterone and I just do not get in, and it's obviously much worse now I'm in my 40s. Looking back I never could tolerate progesterone very well at all. When I met my now DH I went on the BCP. After 4 weeks I started suffering with inexplicable anxiety and low mood. Then I would get a few days of feeling okay again. This lasted for nearly 2 years and I ascribed it to the stress of university and exams etc. But with hindsight I think it was the brand of BCP I was on? It eventually disappeared, but that may well be because I changed brand. It's 20 years ago so I don't remember?
For the last 3 weeks I have just gone back to a 50mg Estradot patch, as well as a very brief 8 day dabble with an AD which gave me a panic attack, so stopped it immediately! I haven't bothered taking any Utrogestan yet as I had quite a substantial period 20 days ago. But my mood has been so very up and down these last 3 weeks. Not helped by the brief trial of the AD, I'm sure. But some days I have felt so depressed, other days so anxious and despairing. Today is actually a 'good' day, and I see my consultant this afternoon.
I am praying she can think of a working solution for me. Did Prof Studd give an opinion on taking ADs for hormonal anxiety and depression etc? Years ago I tried Prozac for my PMS and it did nothing for me.
