Female hormone question

I was hoping some of you ladies could help me. I am 41 and feel like I am going through some perimenopause symptoms. I know that decreasing estrogen levels can lead to depression. Has anyone ever had hormone testing and been treated with something to balance your hormones and felt better? I have heard of progesterone creams, etc. I am already on a birth control pill and antidepressant, mood stablizer, etc. but still in a bad way. I thought I would like to get this checked out. Any information you have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

i know my mum is taking something called troche which are dissolvable. they contain natural hormones that equal out ur hormones - i think thats how it works anyways...not to sure ill have to ask her and get back to u with more info...or just do a search...not sure if its the right thing ur looking for or not...haha
good luck to u!!

Most of the hormone therapy I have heard about does say it can help with mood and the other symptoms of pre-menopause and menopause. I did soil studies on estrogen ans synthetic estrogen, but that's where I got the majority of my knowledge.

Def. be something to GOOGLE or go over with your doc.

I am sorry to hear you have to deal with this on top of all your other issues. Wish I could offer more, but this is one of the many reasons I thank God I was born a male.

Best wishes and good luck.

Thanks I did a google search. It is something I will ask my doctor about. I appreciate your response!

Thank you for this and yes, you are lucky you are a male and don't have to go through this on top of everything else!

hehe Though I can sympathize with the mood swings PMS brings about. Get em all the dang time...
