Hi, I am in peri menopause so not getting horrific menopause symptoms just yet. However, I know my hormones are all over the place as it is affecting my skin and I am getting very dry eyes, causing them to be bloodshot at least once a month. I have been on cerazette for years which I understand is a low dose of progesterone and until recently never had any hormone issues.
To help my symptoms, I am trying to work out what is going on with my hormones in my monthly cycle and can't find out much on the internet. Which hormone (estrogen or progesterone?) is increasing or decreasing in which half of the cycle? I'm trying to work out if I should be having more or less estrogen like foods such as flax seeds etc. I'm thinking my dry eyes are caused by estrogen dominance so I might be better cutting them out? How do I naturally increase progesterone?
Thanks
