Thank you, this is also the issue..is the anxiety..palpitations..waking in the middle of the night particularly in the second part of my cycle, the luteal phase. I have really sore breasts for most or the month and suffer with brain fog. My periods are still regular though? seems a bit pointless taking hrt if it isn't required but this psychological change, insomnia, worse periods and breast tenderness all are peri symptoms I believe?? I'm not sure what else it could be.
