Anyone else have hightened anxiety during mentral cycle?

[whatif]

Notice that I have more anxiety and more intense anxiety during my menstral cycle... Anyone else? Why is this? I mean obviously it has something to do w hormones.. But which one? And how can I naturally increase (or decrease) the "hormone(s) culprit"? Anyone...?

Just before your cycle estrogen increases to start it. Raised estrogen levels can cause anxiety before you start. I would suggest speaking with your doctor before messing with your hormones. There are natural creams you can use to raise progesterone, the calming hormone but like I said please speak to your doctor first.

My doc just put me on a bio identical progesterone pill and I already feel better. We will see when my . Comes back around. Good luck to you and I hope it helps. Lord knows anxiety is bad and worse when your . is about to start.

Progesterone levels lower when we get our period. Progesterone is the "feel good" hormone. We have very high levels of it when we're pregnant.
However, I tried bio identical progesterone and it made my symptoms worse. It works for a lot of people but not for me.
