PRE MENSTRAL SYNDROME (PMS / PMT)

Pre menstral syndrome/tension otherwise know as PMS or PMT, is the one of the most common symptoms affecting  at least 60 per cent of woman.
It occurs mostly around thirty but can begin in adolescence and in the pre menopausal years.
Tender breasts, body weight gain, bloating, emotional highs and lows, tearfulness, forgetfulness, anger, depression, insomnia, anxiety, cravings for sugar can all occur in the lead up to your periods.
I’ve heard of marriages collapsing because of it, husbands/partners packing their bags and heading to the hills for a week to avoid a complete personality change in their normally civil partner.
The same estrogen dominant symptoms apply.
Woman who suffer from PMS tend to have lower progesterone than normal around the time of their cycle, when progesterone is supposed to be dominant it is actually the estrogen which is dominant.
There are many other factors to consider when dealing with PMS such as diet, stress, lifestyle, unstable blood sugars, hypothyroidism, lack of vitamin B,C and E, zinc, selenium, iodine and Omega to name a few.

Research has also shown that those woman who suffer from PMS are more likely to get Post Natal Depression (PND) as the symptoms and predisposition  for estrogen dominance is already there and has likely gone on for many years without treatment, there is often a link to family, for example if your mother/grandmother/ suffered from PMS/post natal depression/ fibroids, heavy bleeding, hysterectomy, research is now showing  that it is likely you may be prone to the same symptoms your mother had.

A simple saliva test will check whether you are estrogen dominant, the use of the progesterone cream 20mg twice a day on days 14-28 of your cycle will increase your progesterone levels and make estrogen the less dominant hormone that appears to be causing the array of symptoms outlined above.

Optimal levels with woman on transdermal progesterone cream should be around 5-10nmol/L although this can vary from woman to woman.

From personal experience and years of dealing with PMS right from when my first period occurred and getting worse with age, at 39 -years old my intolerable symptoms have almost gone completely with the ongoing use of trans dermal progesterone cream.

If only I had been educated about it sooner, it would have prevented not only my years of suffering from PMS and ruining relationships, but also my severe PND.

Woman from all over the world are raving about the cream and how their PMS is greatly improved.
