Thanks for replying. I thought of the pregnancy thing too but since I
am having a regular period every 2 weeks (for 3 months now) this seems
so unlikely. Someone told me to take vitamin E and this seems to be
helping to sore boobs.
It is the first time I have had periods every 2 weeks. I was using
progesterone cream and had been for a year when this started. I
discountinued it a month ago in an attempt to let my body get back to
normal. This doesnt seem to be happening and the emotional lows are
worse than the periods so I guess I better see my specialist.
I was wondering about polyps?
