Re: hormone imbalance, sounds like PMS, here's one theory From: Shelly (anonymous@obgyn.net) Sat, 14 Oct 2000 08:58:11 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: anonymous@obgyn.net: "Re: hormone imbalance, sounds like PMS, here's one theory" Previous message: NINA: "Re: A Thought For All of Us" In reply to: Sandra: "Re: hormone imbalance" Next in thread: Lisa: "Re: hormone imbalance, sounds like PMS, here's one theory" Reply: Lisa: "Re: hormone imbalance, sounds like PMS, here's one theory" It sounds like you're experiencing some classic PMS symptoms. One theory is this is caused by too much estrogen RELATIVE to the amount of progesterone. (It's a ratio thing) If you're going to try BC pills you might want to try a progestin (synthetic progesterone) only pill. Most pills have some form of estrogen. You could also go to a good healthfood store and get a natural progesterone cream. Some women use it the last two weeks of their cycle, some use it all the time. Lots of vitamin E (taken w/ C to help utilization)can also help. There are two books by a Dr Lee (What your Dr may not tell you about pre-menapause" and "What your Dr may not tell you about Menapause") that are VERY useful (for any age) in understanding the interplay between hormones. good luck At Thu, 12 Oct 2000, Sandra wrote: > >At Wed, 11 Oct 2000, anonymous wrote: >> >>i'm beginning to notice that i am OVERLY depressed and moody >>approximately a week before my period, and mid-way through.

If you have a hormone imbalance a BC pill might be "all" you need... however if it is a more complex/serious imbalance the BC might only mask the symptom and not treat the cause. > >Just some thoughts... hope it helps. > Next message: anonymous@obgyn.net: "Re: hormone imbalance, sounds like PMS, here's one theory" Previous message: NINA: "Re: A Thought For All of Us" In reply to: Sandra: "Re: hormone imbalance" Next in thread: Lisa: "Re: hormone imbalance, sounds like PMS, here's one theory" Reply: Lisa: "Re: hormone imbalance, sounds like PMS, here's one theory"
