    I also recommend supplements. My doctor said Flaxseed oil is good for some of our symptoms. But don't be afraid to reach out to your doctor. Some of our symptoms can be very difficult to manage on our own. There are days when I just feel like crying. Today happens to be one of them. My ovaries feel inflamed and I am feeling anxious. I have xanex and my doctor has said if I can't handle the symptoms then take a pill. Sometimes it helps just knowing I have them just in case.

    I use Dr. Erika's progesterone cream, twice a day on my wrists. Maybe just changing brands might help. Good luck!

    Progesterone cream worked great for me for three years. I used Her Balance sold at VRP.com

    Unfortunaltely, it is no longer working which I don't like. But to start off if you have never used anything I agree it works well.

    I highly recommend progesterone cream by Emerita called Progest.
