Emotional During Ovulation

yes, track your cycle... have you ever read that book, take charge of your fertility? it's a great guide.. by tracking your cycle, you can begin to get a better idea of when the moods hit and moveover, what your body is doing hormonally... and then you can apply a remedy.. which for me... I know when I ovulate and begin my cycle that I am not the nicest of people to be around.. but over the years, I have begun to help myself with good nutrition and exercise.. Additionally, during the above mentioned times, I also would and sometimes still get depressed... I have found that when you have a good understanding of what a hormone is actually doing to you, e.g. the rise in progesterone or lowering of Estrogen, you can then help yourself.... I think just winging it each month (As many of us have done) really doesn't allow us to properly help ourselves... it's when we have a better understanding of the role of hormones is when we can finally get relief... the western medical establishment is not good at teaching us this.. you have to read up about it on the net..

best to you and yours

I had the same problem. It was like I started PMSing with the cramps and moodiness around the time I ovulated, and it just continued into regular PMS. I would only have one good week each month. The only thing that made it go away was going back on birth control pills. It's been 3 months and I feel so much better. I don't know why I waited so long.

I just recently noticed it too and wonder if it's because I'm getting older. I'm almost 30 so I'm wondering if my hormones need to be checked. I'm more hormonal during ovulation than I am before my period!

Find a doctor in your area that specializes in "balancing hormones." They are usually "integrative" doctors.

Stress itself can affect our hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis causing imbalances. That stress can be emotional, dietary, physical... We need an excellent diet (you may have acquired food sensitivities), exercise, regular sleep, good emotional supports... and you may still need a little help from a doctor knowledgeable about these things.

I am a bit concerned your ob doesnt care if you ovulate for three years. what is that? Sounds like you might have PCOS and that will make you sad and not ovulate but infact you are ovulating and pmsing that is not right and find a doc that will treat you. On the news there was a bipolar woman who shot her family. I am NOT saying this will happen to you but please Take care of yourself and your emotions. You deserve it and your family does as well. We often put ourselves off and take care of everyone else. Now take care of you! :)
