I don’t know what’s going on with me lately, but I’ve been suffering from major PMS symptoms for the past six months or so. This kind of thing never affected me before, but now I’ve been getting extremely irritable in the days leading up to my period. The smallest thing is liable to set me off — which I know can’t be pleasant for my husband or son.
I’ve been reading up on the subject, and it seems that I’m exhibiting classic symptoms of having too much estrogen and/or not enough progesterone in my system. One of the results of this imbalance is irritability, so I could be on the right track here.
If it turns out I’m right, then I’ll be able to manage this estrogen imbalance with a progesterone cream. That sounds simple enough, but obviously I need to do more research before starting on a treatment plan.
