Hello,
I have a 2 month old baby. In the past I have suffer from bad PMS - mainly emotional symptoms. I'm feeling a little low & have read about "reproductive depression". Basically some women we are more susceptible to the hormonal changes (a drop in estrogen during the cycle). Apparently, these women are also more susceptible to develop low mood or depression when taking the pill. Antidepressants work but apparently there is another less popular (though probably less invasive?) treatment whcho is simply using estogen gel. Anybody has tried it? I spoke to my GP about it & replied quite blatantly they don't prescribed it in the surgery. However, it is mentioned in patient.co.uk site.

Many thanks
