Could this be a hormone imbalance? Any advice would be very much appreciated please!

Hi everyone,

Haven't posted on here in a while but really struggling at the moment and wondered if anyone here can offer any advice. I'm wondering if I might have a hormone imbalance as these are my symptoms: (I'm 29yo)

• last month had a huge cyst in my right breast below the nipple which they said was hormonal, but read this is more common in women older than myself. I usually get breast tenderness in the sides of both breasts, but since my last period ended I have INTENSE tenderness/pain in this breast only, underneath and on the side

• body acne getting worse

• very irregular periods- used to be 28 days like clockwork and now between 24 day and 38 day cycles. Had an ultrasound and ovaries etc all normal.

• so, so tired in the mornings - can barely get out of bed.

I had a blood test a few days ago for a chronic condition and the Dr said they would also test my FSH/LH levels given the symptoms I was worried about.

Please could anyone who has had a hormone imbalance tell me their symptoms and if theres any similarities? I'm really tired of feeling rubbish all the time due to my crazy periods and PMS/cysts etc etc.

Thank you so much in advance xxx

hi i’ve just come across your post and i’m the exact same did you find out anything what could be causing it and has it got any better since the post
thanks adele

Hi @acaa2023 , sorry to hear you're feeling the same! I never found out what the reason was as my bloods came back within range for the time I was at in my cycle...but weirdly my symptoms have got a bit better!! Breast pain is gone, last 2 periods have been more regular, acne calmed down slightly...I can't think what I've done differently except that I'm vegetarian now, but honestly think that's just a coincidence!

Sorry I can't be any more help but hope this is reassurance that it can (somehow) get better...hope you feel lots better soon. Maybe a blood test would be helpful? X
