Hoping someone can relate
I've only had spotting since 2012 due to the Progesterone I was applying to my skin.
I've reduced from 500 to 300mg whilst also starting Oestrogel a month ago.
This period is heavy heavier than I've had in 8 years.. but also my breasts still sore on day 3, aching and very large still, I'm having bad sleep on night two, was very depressed yesterday but happy in the evening then depressed again in bed at night
Still having light palpitations this week and hot spells when I need to turn heating off and open a window. The hot spells happen when my mood is low just as the back symptoms and skin sensitive issues are worse when my mood is low..
Today depressed again, hard to hold conversation, tired, horrible new physical symptoms (reason why I started Oestrogen they started 2 months ago) sensitive skin to back buttocks and legs makes me shudder and shiver when clothing brushes against.
From memory my PMS was gone when I started and I had a bit of post period PMs during early peri menopause. My PMs since being on high Progesterone only has been minimal...
Basically I'm confused why I feel worse now on my period than I did before Oestrogel.
Am I bleeding heavily because I've lowered Progesterone?
Sorry I'm just trying to understand it, if I can understand it, it helps me accept it,
My moods are very very severe from almost suicidal in the afternoon to fine that evening. Everything (symptoms) seems excellerated and magnified and lasting longer
Worst day ever today, so depressed can't even watch tv just can't focus or concentrate
