Estrogen dominence: You could be dealing with something called estrogen dominence. Fat cells produce estrogen, so if you are overweight you may be producing more estrogen. This imbalance can cause fatigue, heavy periods with clots and emotional lability. The treatment involves balancing the estrogen with a progesterone, preferably a real one, not a progestin that many docs prescribe. Find a doc who knows about it.
