I found a post from like 2 yrs ago and wasn't sure if anyone would respond to it so I'm posting here. So hard to tell if I have estrogen dominance or progesterone deficiency. I don't have the normal fibrosis breast like I did as a teenager, but I was recently on the progesterone only pills and a day after skipping a pill my breasts were sore. Plus ai feel so lousy, with heavy periods, migraines, bloating and constipation and fatigue during my cycle. I feel like without taking the pill I feel better. My acne got bad on the progesterone pill but I did start producing more clots which was great for someone who normally bleeds so heavily with a water like consistency. Sorry for the TMI. Past few months I've been having what I'd describe as really bad intercystial cystitis during my cycle and I'm like wth because it feels like endometriosis but no way because it's basically only happening during my cycle plus I had a little surgery to remove what my ob gyn said was literally a few grains of sand for the endometriosis, he said there was barely any there. Why would someone get cystitis only during period. I felt so lousy I stopped all oral contraceptives. Also I learned soy products and processed and packed foods with soy isolates all cause high estrogen and estrogen dominance. I'm on keto diet now, and take d3, vit b's, magnesium etc. I take vit k2 because it helps my blood clot better . How does anyone know if they're estrogen dominant as having too little estrogen sometimes has some of the same symptoms ? My obgyn did find like 8 cysts on each of my ovaries back then few years back and said it can be pcos , but I have 3 kids and have no issue getting pregnant, as it seems I get pregnant too easily ? Also most people with pcos have infertility issues I've heard. I grew a chin hair and a few other hairs where us women shouldn't. It bothers me because I know the doc checked my estrogen and testosterone only my testosterone was at the limit, 1 more number up and it would be considered too high. I know lyme and co infections can wreck havoc on our hormones.
