My partner--who has been displaying high estrogen symptoms for a few years now since coming off the implant contraceptive and who is starting to display some very worrying MS-like symptoms--reacts very badly to progesterone and pregnenolone.
Progesterone causes extremely bad mood swings and stress. The stress (cortisol, adrenaline?) can be very bad at times that she acquires a distinctive odor on her breath and acts very uncontrollably. Why would progesterone do this?
Furthermore, pregnenolone initially made her seem a lot better in terms of mood and symptoms (i thought we had solved the issue) but after the first few days has started to produce symptoms similar to progesterone.
Is it a possibility that she has both high estrogen and progesterone at the same time and that raising progesterone is not key here?
It's starting to really worry me and i want her to get better more than anything else.
Her diet is pretty decent at the minute--high quality proteins, saturated fats, lots of sugars. She doesnt do well with wheat. These symptoms have become a lot worse this year after our eating habits fell towards a more PUFA-heavy, especially in regard to eating pork, which I now deeply regret.
I feel like diet a lone is not lowering her estrogen. We have eaten pretty well for a long time before this year. Unless, like I stated--the issue is not estrogen but something else that we are missing.
Really grateful for any suggestions/advice. Getting pretty desperate.
