Angela,

Your problems are quite complex and really need the evaluation of a Dr. that can sit face to face with you and examine you. Should you try progesterone cream? That is something only a Dr. that has seen you can answer.

The Dr. can also do blood work to see if your hormones are "out of whack." Symptoms may be suggestive of such, but the blood work will give the answer.

Best of luck. Robin
