listen to your body: The problem is not estrogen deficiency but more likely blood sugar swings. Eating 6 small equal meals with lots of fresh vegetables and slow carb anti-inflammatory grains like quinoa, buckwheat groats, or amaranth, a small amount of high quality protein, and evening primrose oil 3, 000 mg a day with stress reduction and fun exercise through the day is worth a try.

Did they check tsh?: Appears that your ovaries are functioning. Your thyroid can also cause some of the same symptoms.
