I am truly amazed..

..at how similar our experiences are. Especially with the stuff that's supposed to help the estrogen dominance making it worse. This has been my experience with vitex, chaste tree, soy, transdermal progesterone, oral micronized progesterone, pregnenolone, etc. It ALL ended up worsening the problem in the long run.

The oral progesterone did give me back my quality of life, though, I have to say that. I regained my appetite, lost the constant nausea, the panic attacks diminished about 90%, I was able to sleep without the drenching night sweats (which started when I was only 18 years old), etc. So, I'm thankful for the bioidenticals because they helped me and in a way they gave me the relief and strength I needed to press onward...but they aren't my ANSWER.
