It's the 2nd half of cycle and that's when things get a little rough, but I've been doing pretty well here lately. I thought I might be getting a handle on estrogen overall. However, today I woke up and noticed signs of estrogen dominance. I was getting hints yesterday that it was going up, including a 3# weight gain that I know isn't fat.
Here's what I'm doing on top of the Peaty diet:
-3 drops Progest-E, 5 x day
-carrot
-aspirin
But here's what's going on:
-breasts a little sore
-weight still up 3#
-felt puffy when I got up, and a slight bit achey
-bathroom visits in the night
-some oil and a little acne, but skin is overall holding its own for the last couple days
-underarm odor
-constipation
-gallbladder has been a little "active" off and on
-some anxiety
I'm at day 19 in cycle. Started noticing hints of hormone shift at day 11.
Aspirin helps with the breast pain.
All this is pretty mild compared to what it was before Peat, but it's there so I need some advice on what more to do.
Take more progesterone? Eat more carrot? (I haven't been making it into the salad lately, just eating it). Should I try DIM, even though it can lower thyroid? There must be something I've overlooked. Any thoughts appreciated.
