Hello
So wife has severe PMDD and luteal phase has been a nightmare for the entire family for years.
She got into a serotonin drug and it’s improved her lows quite a bit.
Subsequentty she’s also gotten onto TRT. Does daily gel, totaling about 15 mg of test weekly.
Slight virilization, extra facial hair that’s she’s plucking. Not much. Doesn’t worry her
Two weeks post period start. To the day, she gets super combative with me starts picking on tons of faults here and there and so on. Based on my understanding this would be peak estrogen. From here on progesterone gets to ramp up, crushing dopamine and estrogen starts to tank. This can bring on depression etc etc.
Myunderstanding of this is also coming from my own experience. For example , when I had my own spikes in estrodial id get acne and would be a mit more combative with her. Short with the kids. But not as bad as when I went onto NPP. Became a total a hole.
Here is my question:
How does she manage those oscillations better ? She does need to do bloods in general to see if she’s dialed in with TRT but assuming this is her spot how do you manage those.eateogen spikes ?
Would taking any supplements work or would even a tiny dose of arimidex be a good idea to block her aromatization while her body’s own estrogen is spiking ?
Would Proviron help during this period ?
She’s quite anti needle - can’t convince her to switch to pinning her TRT - so there’s no chance of her trying a baby dose of primo.
Not sure how much Proviron can block aromatase but would you think it could help here ? Take Proviron one week per month ? Concern would be possible virilizarion from it plus mood crash on discontinuation of Proviron after a week. Come to think of it , Proviron maybe a good add on during luteal phase when progesterone kicks in and starts messing with dopamine (crushing it )
Thanks for any input. Really appreciate it.
