I have friends who have depression around certain points in their cycle. I haven't ever noticed any on mine, but that being said, the only birth control I can do is an IUD. Anything with estrogen makes me feel like I'm losing my mind. My doctor says I'm probably sensitive to estrogen.

I don't have any issue chatting about it with my T and he's a guy. He got quite a lesson in the female cycle including how cervical mucus can help one prep for ovulation (I was trying to get pregnant with our second baby at the time). To his credit, he refrained from cringing LOL.
