I am 44 and last year started being premenopausal. It was terrible. I was so moody so irritated. Felt like I was outside of my body and some monster was taking over. Periods came once every 3 or 4 months. Of course this all started while AH was sucked in his addiction so I didn't know if I was reacting to him or if it was physical. When I complained of hot flashes. ( I use doctor as last resort. I'm very hard headed like that) a friend told me GNC had an over the counter progesterone cream which I quickly ordered online.
It worked! After applying it for 5 days I had my missing period. Moods subsided. So THEN I went to the doctor. Blood work confirmed that my progesterone levels were so low but estrogen was fine. She gave me a script for progesterone which I take for 10 days, period starts and no more moods, hot flashes. So much better.
Hugs to you!
