Hi I was wondering if someone could shed some light for me please. I am a 23 year old female, not on contraception, and definitely not pregnant.
I am really struggling with my hormones. More specifically during the luetal phase of my cycle. I know this is normal but this phase in particular is really horrible for me.. it has only started to get bad recently and I have had no troubles with this before which is making me confused as I haven’t changed my lifestyle/medication. I get extremely sore/sensitive boobs which seem to spread to my armpit/arm area, I am an emotional wreck and cry at the littlest of things. I have also found over the past few months I have gained weight quickly and have started to get stretch marks on my stomach.
once my period starts, they are really heavy but the other symptoms seem to stop/reduce but it seems to be the same every month.
I went to the doctors back in December and they took my bloods and tested my thyroid and pcos but everything came back fine. I’ve just recently gone back to the doctor as I’m really struggling with it and they suggested to go back on the pill. I don’t know if this is the right thing to do? I just really want to get the bottom of the problem as it’s really affecting my confidence and I feel like a different person.
please help as I am really struggling!
